Thank you everyone for putting your 2 mins of effort to discuss on this matter. I've been thinking about this for years cause i've seen lotta people around me who are practically being a burden on their family. Just cause of one person the whole family gets disrupted. Is that worth it? the one that is in bed will definately gonna die sooner or later, there is not even a single hope that they will start to walk or to talk or to show any emotion again and their family spending fortune just to keep them alive. About 5-6 years, someone I know gets into coma. This guy was pretty well off so the family started taking him whereever they could for the treatment. Time passes by, hes been dragged in the stretcher from one country to another. Now slowly the cash is gettin outta bank and since he was the bread winner, they didn't have no other income but to use the family savings. The medical support is thousands of rupees a day just for the hope that he will wake up even when the doctors have given up!! His wife sells most of the property, started living in rent and still going through his treatment just cause in Nepal, you can't pull the wire if the guy is still breathing. Their son almost goes nuts. Rest of her family started to avoid her thinking that she will go to them for help. She is practically in street these days. What doctor told her was he will eventually die when one of his organs fails and she will have to keep on treating him till that day. she is doing the best she could. She doesn't even have no flesh in her body no more. I think this is little unfair to her. Just cause of that one person which no one has hope he will walk again, her entire life got messed up!! Felicity, do you think that is fair???
