Our own right to die

this is more of approving mercy killing in their country...as for me? i really don't know..its easy to say at times that its best to let go ang remove the tube but when you are in the exact situation it can be as difficult as you can ever imagine...my daughter happen to be on that case before but until her last breath i hoped and never gave up till she gave up...doctors said theres no chance left and its only causing me too much bill but i cant do it..i cant let her die nor kill the life she still has even on vegetative case..i guess if i am to be vegetative i'd rather have the tube removed to end all cause im causing

Personally I feel that that is why it is important for States and families to know and respect others wishes when something like this happens to them. There are often cases of people coming out of Comas and such after being in one for a long time, but truthfully as expensive as Health Care is here in the United States especially being able to have the right to choose if you want to die should be accepted as well. No, it is not Fun to have a relative die, but to seem them in a vegitative site would not be Fun as well.

Yes, I would let them die, in fact, I'd fight for their right to die. The members of my family have an agreement with each other, we all know each others views on this matter and we will do everything in our power to make sure our loved ones wishes are respected. Me, I plan on overdosing on heroin when I'm ready to check out and with any luck at all I'll still be able to push the plunger myself.

I think they should be allowed to die. I mean, the only reason they are alive in the first place is by means of artificial life. The way i say it is: let nature follow its course. It's good for the patients themselves, for the family, and for the government, that gets to save thousand a year per every patient they switch off

I believe that when we were given the right to life and the right to live, it carried with it the right to die. We all want to live as much as we want but then we do not own our life. If ever I knew someone or let us say I have a love one who is in a vegetative state and he or she already wants to die because of the too much pain or expense he or she is bringing to us, then I will respect that right. I will be the one to personally fix everything so that it will be both within our will. I will not do mercy killing or won't allow it if the person is still hopeful and still positive that there will be a miracle. But then there are still a lot of reasons to be considered here. If the situation shows that the patient is 100% dependent on life-support then maybe there is no more sense to wait for a miracle. Still clear negotiation and seeking truthful explanation from doctors is a must.
