My sis had a supervisor whose son had CF. He went through hell and back. He went through a double lung tx, into a coma, out of a coma, had problems (cant remember details) requiring another tx which ended up being lobes. He went into another coma & was there for 2 months. His father was ready to pull the plug when the kid woke up. His father asked him if HE wants to keep fighting. He told him yes. He told his Dad that when he is done fighting that his Dad will know. He fought long & hard, but finally had enough. After his funeral his father told my sis that he is so glad that he let his son make his own decision. He didnt realize how much fight he had in him! ALL that being said I agree with you Em. I do think people are too critical of death especially at younger ages. I am not saying its not a shame, but if someone decides not to do something with the "maybes" involved let THEM make that decision. If they have a young child or 15 kids and a husband...I am sure they thought about all that when making their decisions. Just as I respect those that want to keep up the fight whatever that may entail I think people should respect those that dont have anymore left to give. We might not understand or agree, but unless it is US......well I have said enough!

I agree Em.
Like I've said before, people are selfish. It's inherent but those of us that are thinking/logical people recognize this and can put aside our selfish wants. As unpleasant as that may be it is most often the right thing to do.
Also, for those of you that are inquiring as to why Emily started this topic, take a hint; she's not going to tell you, but it's not a mystery.

emily thanx I hadn't found any specific gene on what i pm'd you about. But you helped I am going to e-mail them to me cousin her 7yr old weighs 30lbs. But hey look nobody has said anything bad about your post. well since I started typing. I still think your right. I plan on letting my kids do as they wish with their health as soon as they are old enough. I have to get them to where they're responsible. If the time ever comes that is up to them. I just wish that my familly felt this way. My g-ma has cancer she made her wishes on this clear years ago. But they wouldn't leave her alone and she went against her wishes to please others. Now the dr's won't do anymore chemo. All it managed to do was make her upset w/herself and get me asked not to bring my kids around.
