To be or not to be on life support - that is the question.
One must think carefully before making the decision.
Subject: Vegetative state
Last night my wife and I were watching a TV documentary
about euthanasia, that got us talking about life... the
idea of living or dying.
I said to her:
'Dear, never let me live in a vegetative state, totally
dependent on machines and liquids from a bottle.
If you see me in that state I want you to disconnect
all the contraptions that are keeping me alive,
I'd much rather die'.
Then my wife got up from the sofa with this real
look of admiration towards me...and proceeded to
disconnect the TV, the Cable, the Dish, the DVD, the
Computer, the Cell Phone, the iPod, and the Xbox, and then
went to the fridge and threw away all my *beer*!!
..... I ALMOST DIED!!!
