I'm sorry that you had to go through that with your loved ones, OBG


Just be careful. One day you make an offhand comment to your wife after seeing someone in a wheelchair "I wouldn't want to live that way." Next thing you know, they're telling her "Well, Mrs. Baldguy, if he recovers at all he'll be confined to a wheelchair, but if we just give him a little extra morphine..." A lot of people are in wheelchairs and very happy to be alive at all. I bet a lot of them once said "I'd never want to live that way."

I told my wife I don't ever want her to have to make that kind of decision. I instructed her to tell them to transplant my brain into a jar of nutrient solution if necessary.
