We should always struggle at the frontiers of science.  Our knowledge expands as we make mistakes.  Complacency and fear of trying new things leads to things like the Dark Ages.  Saving an individual life is up to the wishes of the individual.  Finding ways to save lives is for the benefit of all.

Whether a person chooses to take their life prematurely or not, is their decision.  As a nurse for 35 years, I have seen many people die a slow painful death, so I can understand the desire to end ones suffering.  I couldn't  do it though, because I would feel there must be a reason for me to stay on this earth a little longer.  To shorten my life,  I would become  accountable to a higher power.  The one who gave me life in the first place and really is the only one who has the right to take mine away.

I think, personally, you can't stop anybody from doing anything. But I guess in this case, if it's like your kids or something, you need to let them make their own decisions after they are, say, 16. The only way people learn and grow is from making mistakes. You can't keep people from living. It's better to have lived and made mistakes than to have not lived at all.

I personally have had two family members in the past five years who medically were brain dead...I think it would be cruel and inhumane to keep them alive for the sake of keeping them alive.  Its not only wrong for them but also for their loved ones.  I myself would want the plugged pulled if this should ever happen to me...my sister says give her three days...I Will try.  Anyways we allowed our family members to go as soon as the Doctors confirmed that nothing could be done.

I have plenty of CPR's, there is no cause, some life threatning conditions require CPR as a hope of survival. Condition of such patients is indeed critical otherwise they would not require CPR. It is a very scary thing to see, I am sure doesn't feel good to see the light on the other side. Good luck

That's a big gap, between 50 and 80. A lot can happen in 30 years, and although I would prefer to die peacefully among friends that can't make up for what I can accomplish in 30 years time. I have to go with 80.

I think it kinda would... as long as you didn't find it till the perfect time.  Like, if it showed up a year or two before the date.  That way, you'd live your life to the absolute fullest.  You'd take chances, have fun, and just ENJOY.  I really think that would make life easier.  Plus, there's no worry about dying because you already know when you're gonna die.  So life threatening illnesses or injuries won't worry you.

I pray that God protects you with his precious blood and that His angels are all around you.  I also pray that nothing goes wrong and that God is in the doctors hands while performing your surgery.   I have a prayer request.  My grandmother had a stroke in May and she is not doing very well.  Please just pray that she will get better soon so that she will live to see her 80th birthday on October 20th.

One life,live it. You may get another shot at it, who knows. But if this is it.....Treat every day as your last. It's better to do something and regret it than regret never doing it!!!

Good for you! If you can help others, it is your duty to do so.\n\nBut even while living an easy and happy life, there are many situations when you really have to be concerned first not to hurt the person near you, no matter how many tons of food you send to the poor.

I am for the life support system only when the doctor thinks that the patient will get better. If the doctor thinks that the patient will not get better and the only reason that the patient is on life support is because the family dosen't want to let that person go then no I don't believe in it. I guess it just depends on the situation.

always check peoples pockets for ID or medication cards.........if your gonna put them in the recovery position, always check for needles cause u could get a needle stick injury, and always try and find out if the person has a heart condition because you must never raise the legs of someone with a heart condition and keep the person warm because the body slows down and starts shutting down organs...........but the first role should always in every emergency.........look for danger,,,,,,,then airway....breathing........circulation.......and always phone 999 straight.

Fall on your knees & ask God to help you. Also seek counseling right away from a Pastor or a professional > but life is worth living. there is nothing bad enough to take your life. People don't realisze that killing ones self isn't the end~God Bless, you are in my Prayers~

USA should stop helping everyone around the globe and help their own! You should help someone who will help their selves. I feel like for some unfortunate reason a person may become homeless or not have food. I believe we should help them get on their feet, but the ultimate goal is they go to work and make it on their own. If they are disabled or to old to work then extend the help!

Personally I would want someone to tell me. I mean really you could be saving someones life by telling them that. If they get an attitude just apologize and figure you probably won't see them again so who cares but I would definitely say something if I were in your shoes.
