i'm on about a person who we know genuinely feels or felt that dying with dignity carries more weight than having a lingering painful death and has left a living will or spoken of it with their family.
or simply where a family genuinely believe that death is the best course of action. i hope my family would know when to pull the plug on me. (no jokes please) not sure if Alzheimers on it's own would be reason enough to pull the plug.
