Clearly one creates a moral dilemma for their spouse and/or family by asking them to pull the plug that would leave them guilt ridden no matter what decision they make.
Beside it clearly is a better choice to leave such request in the hands of experts who know the how's and when's of this request and even then they can error.
There is nothing dignified about death but there is about how effectively we deal with it at the time
We had a guy in our town who would drive around all night long because he was afraid he would die in his sleep....and indeed that is exactly how he died. He was one of the lucky ones.
My best friend,age 31 at the time who was as close to me as my brother committed suicide with a bullet to the head. He was in such emotional pain. I mourn for him to this day I keep repeating he had other choices....but what do you do when you don't have other choices?
