If it's all in the hands of a supreme being then why not let him decide rather than the doctors and the machines etc.?
I've always wondered why religious folk (especially Christians) don't throw massive parties to celebrate the death of a loved one, given that they believe that the deceased has now "gone to heaven". Since most of them also believe that the death was "God's will" or "God's special plan", shouldn't they be ashamed for being so selfish as to grieve the loss of someone that their God clearly wanted dead.
