Can I be morbid? What the heck. I've come this far.....When I touched my seemingly brain-dead brother's hand, it was ice cold, no feeling, no movement, nothing. SO I knew there was no point in prolonging the inevitable.<br /><br />Please feel free to delete this message if you prefer. I'm okay about it. I just thought that, seeing as I have personal experience of this stuff, I would tell you. It's been 20 years as of this past Sept. but I remember it vividly, guess I will forever!<br /><br />In case you're wondering my own personal opinion, unless someone is likely to come out of a coma in one piece after a long time, then yes, I would agree to pull the plug please. I don't need the tattoo though!...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04552643095016293044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837676046760437505.post-63122798965435835422014-10-17T06:29:26.103+10:002014-10-17T06:29:26.103+10:00I'm deadly serious about the tattoo,Marie...pa...I'm deadly serious about the tattoo,Marie...pardon the pun.<br />I don't fear death,only dying.<br />I got the idea for the tattoo after seeing the movie "Transcendence" and thought it was a good idea for someone like me who is 100% sure about being "unplugged" and making sure that the people who may have to make that decision knew my feelings if it came down to that.Brizdaz (Darren)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16218154629850982033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837676046760437505.post-39653285314077594342014-10-17T03:46:07.703+10:002014-10-17T03:46:07.703+10:00Darren, are you joking?Darren, are you joking?...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04552643095016293044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837676046760437505.post-8541548987760914752014-10-17T02:16:54.123+10:002014-10-17T02:16:54.123+10:00I can't think like that - as I couldn't be...I can't think like that - as I couldn't be sure if at 'that' time I'd still want to be unplugged.Mike Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02149847109691591945noreply@blogger.com
