The RCC and Obligations to those in PVS

So what you're saying is that if we decide and draw up a legal sort of document stating how we are to be treated medically if we should end up in a vegetative state, then it is man that makes the decision.

No, the family should decide in the traditional order of preference
(i.e., spouse having precedence over parents).

I guess that makes it alright!
My mistake. I thought maybe God might have something to say about it.

I'm sure that He does. He wants the family of people to move past
the loss of a loved one. When individuals who have ceased to have
the brain functions constitutive of being a living person have their bodies
artificially prolonged, I'm sure it pisses God off royally.

I'm being sarcastic because this whole argument is making me laugh.

I'm not sure what you think my argument is. Why don't you articulate
it for me?

Yes, we have the technology. So what? Why should we keep a body
with no brain function around? What purpose does that serve?

No one has any more thoughts about the implications of this clarification?
