43. If my Mother had a living will and wished to die, yes, I would honor her
...wish to die if she was no longer able to function the way she would have wanted...

Just curious - how do you feel about the death penalty? Have you adopted? Considered Adopting? Have you spent any time with children who have serious birth defects or crack babies and been responsible for caring for them? Have you visited 3rd world countries and spent time around children who are dieing of starvation and disease? Have you ever been raped and gotten pregnant as a result? Have you ever had a man/husband who was beating you daily and raping one of your daughters and meanwhile you got pregnant from one of the nights he came home drunk and beat you and raped you?

Have you ever had Hyperemesis? And if you did, what if you had no health insurance or lived in a 3rd world country?

Please don't get on this board and start lecturing people in areas you have no experience in any of the above mentioned categories and even if you have experience in any one or two of the forementioned categories, don't go telling others how to live their lives...It's called choice and unless you have walked in someone elses shoes, you have no right to judge their choice and even if you have walked in their shoes, it still gives you no right to make a judgement.
