Agree.
We are allowed to be kinder to our animals than we are to our parents.
If a person has enough brain cells left to choose...in most places people are allowed to pinch there lips closed and refuse food and water.
In the Home where my mother was there were two sisters. One died..the other sister then refused food and water...by law here, the care workers are not allowed to force feed anyone.
Yes, there are many different scenarios...
Even I myself have obviously "taken myself" out of the hands of God as it were. If I "just trusted God" then I would not be taking blood pressure pills and heart pills etc...
So , for me the people who say- " It must be all up to God" ..yet they take themselves or their kids to the doctor or hospital, are talking out of both side of their mouth at the same time!! A conviction should be a conviction...
My own faith is not as strong as it ought to be..or used to be.
And I am a real wimp when it comes to pain!!
Nice that we are "on the same page" for once eh?
That's a good point about taking bp pills and not just 'leaving it to God.' I think it should be up to the individual. Only they know how much pain they're experiencing. We have no right to paternalistically tell them what they should or should not suffer.
