The dilemma that Rod so eloquently spelled out above is affecting almost every family I know -- in one form or another. I have screamed at my family, friends, neighbors, strangers.... the walls, as to why oh why did they "save" my father yet again, so that what would have been an instant death is transformed into a slow, agonizing living death for both the patient and those around him/her.
Yeah, to say that it is a timely article is the understatement of this year.
