  Yeah my sister actually has ALS like transfatty -- but an even more rare, fast and deadly form. The only reason why she hasn't taken her life is because they will deny her life insurance payout to her children.

  So she just stopped eating so she'll starve to death faster.

  I think in rare cases like that people should be granted some legal assistance. Otherwise they just have to hope that their DNR (do not recessitate) wishes are upheld (no water/food/tubes/breathing machines). But is that really the way someone has to go? It seems even more cruel.

  • Furthermore -- and this one's for you gramme -- the same people who will not allow stem cell research that could cure my sister also wont let her die. How about them apples?shellie
  • ... her also won't let her die whenever she wants. And, insurance will only pay for so much relief.shellie
