feed a vegetable?

[ultimatesexgodess]

I had an interesting conversation with my parents today, and I thought I might ask ST a question:

Imagine your mom/dad just had a stroke at the age of 86. He/She lived a good, fulfilling life but is now totally unconscious. He/she is a brain-dead vegetable and can only survive (at most a few years) by being hooked up to a machine. He/She cannot move, talk or respond in any way to you. Care would cost around $10k-$15k. here's the question: would you keep him/her alive?

Nope. I wouldn't want to be remembered as a vegetable.

Fuck that shit, it's her own fault for not ending herself at sixty.

 

[Samaira]

I sure as fuck wouldn't want to be kept alive. Fuck that.

poll?

Haha very funny, first mature post trying to be badass that ive seen in a while :dodgy: .

I personally would not like that. I would want to just die.

 

[aquadude12]

Sup dood.

 

[naoelc]

this is about you ending your parents, not you

edit: the cost is to the state; the longer you keep your parents alive the more we all pay in taxes :xeyed:

Why the fuck anyone would want to be alive as a vegetable i have no idea. GET IT FUCKING OVER. The last thing we need is to have more people taking up space in hospitals. Especially ones who are brain-dead. Until they make a brain transplant that could revive these people, they should all be killed.

I'd put them up on eBay.

Oh hai, CDN.

 

[Sl{@RRex]

I want this to be more of a discussion

[green_thumbed_one]

I know, but if I were in their position, I wouldn't want to be kept alive.

[brown9488@attenet]

If he/she is a complete vegetable, you shouldn't artificially prolong their life, especially if there's no chance of bringing them back.

 

[AlwaysD]

Just sayin'..

 

[josephf]

Srsly, I am going to do that shit.

That's the truth right there.
