Over the years I have seen my own family die and not from natural causes. Mom, sister, sister-in-law and some special friends. When our familiy was faced with the decision to have them live out their life as a vegable hooked up to machines that would give them an extension though not fruitful life we have all agreed that allowing them to stop treatment is the best way. Who wants to visit your own family member who is in a coma, who wont get better and eventually will die anyways.
its selfish - and your only postponing what should naturally happen. If all means by the doctor and medical community fail to give them dignity in life - then allow them the dignity of death.
