My father's a doctor. He knows what he's asking. Without the G-tube and IV, he would've died weeks ago.
Oh, so now lifesaving technology is bad?
If someone doesn't want it...
How do you know he doesn't? He's not even in his right mind.
After he sleeps, he's lucid. Each time, every day, he begs me to help him. Removing the support's not enough. It would take him days to die of dehydration and he'd be in misery.
Put him in a nursing home.
So he can be somebody else's problem? Who doesn't know or love him?
He won't even know that he's there.
You're not Chinese.
Oh, so it's Chinese to euthanize your elders?
It's Chinese to respect them.
