[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 4212379, member: 25419"] Good question. When Dad was alive, he was taking meds that absolutely kept him from dying. Deciding to stop them was a conscious decision that he knew with certainty would mean his demise, and quickly. One could argue that he ceased to interfere with Nature/God's will, whatever. So if that's the case, seeking medical help is interfering the God's plan. Just because you're tired or in pain doesn't mean you can make a decision and it's His will or vice versa. One needs to be consistent and choose science or faith. And that old preacher's line "God gave us doctors" - well, is it a violation of His will to decline their services? All I know is I would not want to live if I was in Dad's shape for the last couple years. It's my life, and if I possibly can, I'll end it before I get like that. I really think Dad just waited too long and his physical limitations kept him from ending it sooner. [/QUOTE]
