Some may call me a coward for not giving my mother a lethal dose of medication as I could have. I choose to think I did right by her.

I couldn't agree any more. Life is a gift and I don't think we have the right to take that gift away. However ...

Sassy, do you think that the medical profession should keep people alive, just because they have the means to?

Are there cases where doing harm would actually be in keeping someone alive in misery with no hope of regaining any quality of life?

With the medical advances that have been made in regard to sustaining life it is a hard call.

My fear is blanket assessments/guidelines/laws that will dictate large sweeping actions in one direction or the other.
