Guest guest Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I know I already posted once, but I have something else to add. You are right about the quality of life being important. My husband and I have spoken about this many times. As most of you know I have been 100% dependent on a pacer for the last 23 years. (Since I was 23 years old-half of my life ) I guess that qualifies as 'life support'. But I have been able to have a fairly good quality life for most of the time. I even had my son after the first pacer was put in. I raised my children. Loved my grandchildren. Made new friends, had new experiences, finished my degree etc. So I would be very careful about letting someone else decide when I should die. It is my decision, along with my husband and family. It is a slippery slope and once you give up that control you don't know where you might end up. Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
