[QUOTE="Lil, post: 631669, member: 17309"] It seems to me it should be your choice. I watched my best friend's mom, who was like a mother to me, slowly die from brain cancer. She lingered so long, even when the nursing home doctors put her in a private room and called the family, stating it wouldn't be long, it was nearly 24 hours of sitting at her bedside as she gasped. She would not have wanted her kids to witness that and there was no reason for her to linger. My sister-in-law's mother recently passed after five years of complete incoherence due to Alzheimer's. I wish I could write my wishes down and legally have them carried out. I would ask that in either of those circumstances, death be hurried along. [/QUOTE]
