Sorry to hear of your loss, but a final noble gesture, to provide life to those that desperately need it, for more time with their loved ones.
How do others feel about organ donation?.
You ask the question, so expect an answer.
I think a baby borne severely disabled, needing care, for an infinate time, the machine should be shut down.
I think an elderly person, should be allowed to pass away, and not be unnaturally fed, and kept alive by mechanical means.
We have a growing elderly population, 62 millions people in 2011, 30 million in 1900, populus, even though in 1900 most people had 10-15 children? But balance that with sustainability. Modern Science can keep us alive, but it isn't sustainable. people die.
My brother was in a life and death situation, where the ventilator needed to be turned off, were his injuries, better to kill him off, or let him live? The ventilator was turned off, he survived, but had many years of depression, and tried to take his own life, due to being tetraplegic, but eventually recovered to a state of skiing in Switzerland, on holiday in America, some concept of living life, as, had he died, my parents would probably have died, as they lost a prior son to suicide.
Modern Science keeps people alive, do we need that? Or breed more? Both are happening, and are unsustainable.
