"You have blood on your hands," she said in court."
It is clear to me that even with a living will this will hurt other members of the family.
Terri’s list ping. This one is not going to be easy.
the man is in misery
He is suffering from Lewy body dementia.
If my family wouldn’t pull the plug on me, I would be pissed and when I did finally pass away, I am haunting them for eternity. His wishes should be the only thing that matters. Sometimes staying on those machines is worse. This is not a Terri Shivo situation one bit. Casey let his intentions be known.
Beware, here come the Tyrannical Judges.
The irony is the daughter said the wife was not caring properly for Kasem but the daughter is ending his life and making him suffer more.
The only advice I have comes from a hospice nurse. If you wish that no heroic means be use to sustain you, that’s fine. If you wish that feeding be stopped if you’re in a vegetative state, that’s fine. If you wish that hydration be stopped, that’s a horrible mistake. No matter what gets you, it probably won’t be as bad as dying of thirst.
Hunger will fade in a few days but thirst gets more and more agonizing the longer it persists and no doctor on earth can say how aware you might be.
Which way is worse: Starving or drowning? I guess the wife’s way is quicker. Maybe?
I thank my late parents for there expicit dnrs and choice to pass as peacefully as the did although my dad fought it till the end first fathers day with out him
the so called loving daughter is a scientology cultists
!
its an expensive cult to belong to

Heated family disagreements over such situations are sadly not uncommon.
So sad for Casey that this is all playing out in public the way that it is.
