I'm talking about needing assistance to live. What if your brain is still fine, but your body isn't?

Doesnt matter for when our spirit leaves the body we answer to GOD. Salvation is found in no other name Jesus Christ.

God didn't say that we should not hope and that we should just give up,...
If your brain is fine, as you claim it, what possibilities are you talking about? If the brain is fine, you are conscious and obviously you are to live,.. although your way of life will be altered,.. but then, there is still life,...
If your brain is not fine, i think , you talking about comatose in a vegetative stage, well as long as there's brain activity, meaning reflexes in the body are intact,.. then there is still life,... although way of life is modified,...
where do i draw the line? it is when there is no more life,..
we all needed assistance to live,...

It is an individual call. To one person the physical death will be the first death but to another it will be the second death, so you can see that machines keeping bodies "alive" really have no meaning and could never interfere with God's plan.

I think that God gave us the tools to stay alive, we should use them, life is always sacred. The part I have trouble with is when someone is "brain dead" Thats a tough call for me

As a Christian Medical professional, I have to say I think that will and should differ from person to person. I can assure you I have seen miracles of life restoration that you would never even imagine.

That is a good question, because believers are always talking about "free will", so I guess a line can't be drawn.

I think of the ignorant fanatics outside Teri Schaivo's hospice. They disgusted me.

I've told my family and friends that if something happens to me, not to hook me up to any machines. When it's my time to go, let me go be with Jesus.

Give me three days, and then pull the plug.

God doesn't exist, so you don't.
Sorry to be so painfully blunt.
