I would not voluntarily watch the light go out in another man's eyes again. For a loved one, I would be there to comfort them if they desired it. As far as suicide goes, there are times that it is the only reasonable way out. I had a cousin that had a series of heart attacks. After the last one, he was told that he would be on life sustaining machinery for the rest of his life. As soon as the nurse and doctor left, he managed to reach the power cord for the machinery and pulled it out of the wall. His son was bitter toward the hospital staff. But I thought that he did the reasonable thing. There is simply a time when life no longer makes sense.
