If something happens to me, accident, heart attack, etc., and I end up in a hospital, I do not want extraordinary measures taken unless the attending doctor has reason to believe my treatment will return me to a good or better quality of life as before the incident. Of course, that is an extremely complicated decision, since everyone has their own opinion of what is an acceptable quality of life. For some being in a wheelchair is acceptable, for some being bedridden would be acceptable, for some a feeding tube down their throat or IV feeding would be acceptable. My point is each of us should have the right to make OUR decision and no one should have the right to override it. No system is perfect, but one that helps is having to have multiple non-associated doctors determine what YOUR wishes are and how they apply in the current situation. |

death with dignity
I want to have the right to determine my care at the end of my life. One of these would be Alzheimer when I no longer am able to communicate and am bedridden and starvation is my end time. The attached link is to an organization that is trying to get death with dignity recognized in the law. You may want to check it out and lend support. Home - Death With Dignity
