http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/05/08/ashley.ruling/index.html

after working with developmentally disabled people, one woman in particular comes to mind. Her family might have been able to take care of her for longer if she had had this surgery. now, she lives in a "home" far away from her parents and leads a very sad life. I agree with the parents on this one.

Answer 1

I hope I'm never in this situation, but if I were, I would elect to have the surgery. I totally agree with you.
