This has been a topic of discussion by Myself & Lori and have been watching this case for a while. As a few of you know Lori has MS & she might be in this situation one day & she just don't want to live like that. |

| I for one, as I've been there am in favor of the right to die. my mother was in a diabetic coma for 12 days and the docs said that if she did come out, she'd essentially be brain dead. We, the kids as my father had passed away 5 years earlier decided that we knew she wouldn't want that and chose collectively to allow a DNR to be put in place. Jen has agreed to do the same for me if things ever got that way as I wouldn't want that either. People should be allowed to choose. Period. Incidentally, not only was I 15 years old then, I had strep throat and laryngitis and couldn't speak a word aloud. I had to communicate through notes I'd written. Not fun. And to add to all that, she did pass away after the DNR was filed and it was on valentine's Day, 1980. Vance |
| Living wills are not for old folks. An auto accident could put any of us in a similar situation and our love ones need to know. This is especially true for those "out of towners" who you rarely see but think they should run the show at the hospital....probably out of guilt. You may talk it over with your mate or family, but that doesn't cut it legally. Having it in writing and properly documented saves a lot of grief. A friend's mother was put in hospice with just 3 days to live. She's now entering her third month. While there is a DNR on her, she also has a pace maker. Talks should be made when to turn it off as well. |
