Your friendly ignited drake has intentionally avoided the Terri Shiavo question because I do not have the answers to these, and many other, questions. I am just very thankful it is not me or my family involved in this situation.
I lost both my father and my mother to cancer. Both of them underwent chemo and radiation treatments. My mother lived another fifteen years eventually succumbing to a rare cancer directly associated with the treatments. My father suffered through the treatments and only added a couple of months to his life, in the end wishing he had not treated the disease.
Decisions like this are INTENSELY PERSONAL. I distrust both commenters in the general public who do not understand the entire situation and those in the family who chose to make the decisions a public matter. Let’s all reign in the rhetoric and take the spotlight off this suffering family.
