        I call bulllshit on this. Under law, "brain-dead" defines one as corpse. Writer is probly conflating "brain death" with vegetative state.

        Too much is done to keep people alive when they would be at peace otherwise. Quality not quantity. Death with dignity. #deathwithdignity

        As an RN so is mine, it's completely wrong to prolong life with no quality. It is beyond unbelievable the things some doctors & families do.

        I am an ER nurse and often feel wrong trying to save those that I know would be better off allowed to die, but I save lives if that is

        doctors take an oath to do no harm. the greatest harm one can do is taking another's life.
