This. This is messed up.
Much of our medicine feels like it's not meant for the patient, but for the people around the patient. We struggle to let the person go, regardless of their own - often voiceless - suffering.
We all feel pain. We all fear loss. Whose choice should it be to live or to die?

I feel that one rule ingrains in all citizens a notion that each of us does not have free agency over our own body. That someone else’s decision trumps our own regarding our own body. I claim this is a perverse notion and the that feelings of the family in this article are a mere extension of this pervasive philosophy.
