@ciaochowbella I'm sorry to hear that happened. There's no excuse for it. What I wrote was from personal experience. I was the medical proxy, and had to deal with the doctors and ethics board, but I threatened to sue individuals, as well as the hospital and nursing home, if my friend's wishes were not honored. We won.

@YY4Me133 If a hospital deems you "mentally incompetent", they can continue medical treatment against your will.
That very thing happened to a friend of mine. She was dying. She had no chance of recovery. However, when she requested that the hospital discontinue treatment, they decided she was incoherent (she wasn't) and continued to treat her for 5 more agonizing, horrible days. She had DNR and a living will. The hospital ignored her to get the money for the treatments.

Surprisingly, many christians who say they're against suicide did not condemn the people who jumped from the WTC towers to avoid burning to death. It seems as though many christians are just as situational as the rest of us are, they just deny it.

@Tarynus People have the right to refuse medical treatment, so the hospital should disconnect the machine, if the patient requests it. In fact, if the person named a medical surrogate, and that surrogate requested discontinuation of treatment, including providing nutrition and fluids, the hospital is supposed to comply. The surrogate might have to deal with a hospital "ethics" board, to let them (the hospital) off the hook, but it can be done.

To take Craig's example &... make it less gruesome;
Say your elderly relative is lying in a hospital bed & is hooked up to a life-support machine, they cannot move because they feel intense pain if they do & they are begging you to make it stop; do you keep that person alive with a marginal chance of them getting better or turn the machine off to end their suffering?

@cjlilc35 if you do that it's censorship.

Life trading really screws up our concepts of morality. I think the train analogy people agree with because the killing is done by the train and isn't up close and personal even though a person pulls the switch. As with the doctor his job is to help people and he's right next to you physically cutting out your organs agianst your will. It seems the amount of horror we feel differs on the nature of the killing and affects our moral judgments.

Christians, if you try to take this channel down, then you will prove yourselves to be un-American. The Constitution says people can say whatever they want in public. The Constitution, according to you guys, is based on the teachings of God. You should respect your God's decision or go to the same Hell you want us to go to. When you die you will go to heaven and we will rot in Hell. For now, we are on Earth, so shut the f**k up!

If people didn't make an effort to write literately in our every day life we would have a hard time communicating.
It is for that reason that I am having trouble understanding what you are trying to say.
The way in which you are writing gives me the impression that you are poorly educated - not a university graduate.
