Here we go again. I am sitting this one out in light of what happened on this forum last time.

I will only say this, I don’t know one person who would like to live this way. It is hard to accept that the person you loved is not there anymore just their body. My father died in November and for about two days I refused to consent to removing his breathing tube. I had to do this once before on my two year old son. It is hard, I loved my father so much that in the end I had to let him go.

anyway my two cents.

Do you know the meaning of the word “unalienable?”

I agree. Letting my father go after Alzheimer’s had destroyed his mind so thoroughly he could no longer swallow was a blessing, not a curse. Legally, it’s up to the husband. Let the husband decide.

Well, the only thing is, your experience is not everyone’s experience. Ya know?
