[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 15956192, member: 6727"] This! Great comments brother! I know that a crippling disease is horrible, and there might be circumstances where ending the life is justified. And sometimes doctors prolong life when perhaps they shouldn't (ie. when they are testing drugs and procedures, which happens). I'll add a question to the OP. Do you think that taking your life would not be an equal blow to your family? A better choice would be to continue to share your love for them to share every remaining moment with the ones you love and who love you. My son-in-law died of a fatal brain disease over two years ago. In the last month of his life he was often not conscious of those around him, or at least didn't appear to be. But, during the entire year after his diagnosis he battled the disease HARD and actually lived about 6 months longer than was predicted by his doctor. There were tears of emotional pain cried by us all many times, and there were tears of joy many times as well. We cried, and we laughed. We encouraged, and we stood together. We loved together! Bottom line is that we will never forget those moments and we're so happy we got to share them with him. His strength in the battle with the disease also has had a huge impact on me, my wife, my daughter, and their 3 daughters who are now 19, 21 and 25. They are all stronger than they've ever been and KNOW how to persevere, to love, to appreciate, and how to push forward to their life and personal goals. They can it 'Dragon Strong'. Their last name. So I just don't see how taking ones life is a more positive decision than pressing on to enjoy the time you have together (time your family deserves to share with you). [/QUOTE]
