It is one thing to have "reasonable measures" (which is what my Will states) after an accident and it's quite another when a person is fading away with dementia or old age.
People need to find that middle ground where we cherish life, but not to the point of long sustained suffering or no quality of life. This also applies to people who on the far-right on abortion issues. I am a woman who did not choose to have abortions, but who miscarried numerous times. Sometimes it is correct to say "things were not meant to be" and let nature or common sense take it's course.
