I have to ask, and I'm putting this on the Religion And Spirituality section for a reason.
On December 26th, 1997, my stepfather cut my mother's life support. She couldn't do anything on her own, and was hooked up to many wires and tubes, such as for breathing, going to the bathroom, food, and many others.
The doctor said that despite her cancer and its spreading, she had already lasted 16 months longer than was expected of her. They said her will to live was keeping her alive, and how she often spoke of the fact that she felt she couldn't leave her children alone, and how much she loved me and my brothers and sisters. The doctors said so long as she was on life support, she was still be alive, and that in time, they may be able to help reduce the symptoms, and give her back her breathing, and remove some of the tumors.
My stepfather had it removed. At about 11 AM on December 26th, 1997 -- an hour after being cut off all the supports she had -- she died.
