To each one's own. Just like abortion, if you don't want medical care, no one should be able to decide you can or can't have it. We all die......some of us want to die with a little dignity, and not surrounded by medical devices and hocus pocus. I know I have an exit plan.....it doesn't involve useless procedures that cost thousands of dollars.

Adult can do as they wish. It really does get mucked up if you choose to have a child and have religious beliefs that say doctors and medicine should not be used to interfere with 'god's' plan. In this country we have freedom to practice our faith (or not in my case) as we see fit. There are laws against murder. I am not a lawyer but if there is no ill intent and one truly believes doctors and medical intervention is against your belief (which, just to be clear, IMHO is pretty fucked up) they have a Constitutional right to practice their faith. So maybe manslaughter?

Liked her as Ted's girlfriend on Mary Tyler Moore Show? Adults only should have the right to make health decisions for themselves,not family mebers. Even adults.
