i watch in the news that a husband have to choose if he want to unplug the live support system of his coma wife in the hospital...the doctor said that she (the wive) only have 30% chance to awake from her coma, but because to use the live support is very expensive and the husband have no more money, he decide to unplug the machine....i mean..is it right???what do you think friends?

i think its wrong, if the guy really care for his wife then he should do all possible ways to keep the 30% faith alive... and do the possible things to make money.. but i feel sorry for the guy, ill probably unplug it if im in his shoes..

This is really tragedic. Really. Altough it is not right, but in our capitalism society, everything comes with a price or cost. In this case, the cost of life became cheaper than the life support system. I would say, the act is not right, but it still had to be done in order to save life of other (husband's & kid's if there is any) sad sad sad.....

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!

it is not right? why? because we are not authorized to get our own life..it is God..and for me...he made a wrong decision... it is not a reason to get away ourlives because of money or because of problems.. God gave us problems to be solve not to escape.

I would rather be allowed to die then my family could get on with their life. Think how hard it must be to have to keep someone alive and never know if you are going to get them back. Or if you do they may have changed. If he wanted to keep trying then the money should not have been a consideration, he should not have to make a decision like that.

right to die
