Advocating euthanasia routinely causes scandals in Poland... [63]
Is that the same thing as assisted suicide?
Regarding my family member, "Passive Uthanasia" pertained to removal from a hospital life support system.
Can you share the details if it is not a problem?
The situation was extremely difficult for my family to cope with. My relative was a youthful 15 years of age. He had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. After doctors had announced he had no brain activity, his parents painfully decide to remove his life supporting devices.
His parents both experienced extreme feelings of guilt, after making their final decision to take such action.They felt as though maybe they should have waited longer, by seeking additional opinions, from other specialized doctors.
My relative has now passed. However, many of his body organs were donated for human organ transplants. My family has more peace of mind now. We know many others are probably alive, because he was an organ donor. His mom told me when she sees someone with beautiful green eyes, she always thinks of him. She knows that someone else now has the precious gift of sight, because of the loss of her precious son.
