Trog,
We are all entitled to our opinions, and I respect yours.
But if you look at what I had posted earlier, it was not just the husband who she had expressed these wishes to.
This is not murder my friend, it is being a human being and having mercy.
Let the woman have some dignity and die in peace, why must you speculate so much as to what the husbands motives are when it is not just he who would wish that her feeding tube be removed but also HER and her close friends. The husband is just at the centre of this because, well he is HER husband.
This gives him the strongest voice in their case.
How can you say such things about the husband without knowing him personally? Did you spend 15 years by YOUR wifes bedside, talking to her, taking care of her. Showing her that you love her.
Perhaps he has gone through his own personal hell with this decision. The feeding tube was removed once before, do you not think he felt horrible about that?
Put yourself in that mans shoes Trog.
He loves his wife and would do anything for her, and her one wish is for him to let her die.
I'd like to see you make that decision.
Their relationship obviousley had alot of love in it, giving that the husband has stood by her bedside for fifteen years, It is foolish to think that she would have NOT expressed those wishes to die a humane and merciful death when it was her time. Do you really think she would have wanted to be thought of as a burden?
Nevertheless, it is coming to a close and the debate will end.
May she be with whatever God she worships, and may she find peace.
