RE: Pulling the plug

I have seen some data on this, but I can't find it. There seems to be a correlation between religious people and a willingness to spend more money on painful treatments to prolong their lives or that of their family members than non-religous/non-believers.

I believe the conclusion given was that a non-believer values the quality of life over their mere existence. If they are alive but can't enjoy it, they'd rather have the plug pulled.
Best regards,
Leo van Miert
