(July 16, 2010 at 6:46 pm)In This Mind Wrote: You see, if my mother were in charge, and the person she was guardian of was in need of a blood transfusion or organ replacement, the person she was guardian of would be forced to go without unless they were of sufficient age to make their own wishes clear. And in a bit of cognitive dissonance, if the person my mother was guardian of was injured in such a way as to render their quality of life non-existent and leave them dependent on a machine for basic bodily functions, if not left in a full persistent vegetative state, my mother would do everything she could to ensure they clung to existence as long as possible.

"How is it that a lame man does not annoy us while a lame mind does? Because a lame man recognizes that we are walking straight, while a lame mind says that it is we who are limping." - Pascal
