I have so many thoughts on this. My biggest thing is quality of life. At what point do the medical interventions just prolong the inevitable and leave the individual in a state they don't want to be in? Are we making medical choices selfishly because we are "not ready" to say goodbye?

I recently read a book called "Being Mortal," by Atul Gawande, that discusses this subject. He does a great job helping the reader learn HOW to approach these conversations with family members about their end of life wishes.
