All,
Thoughts please:

Is it right or wrong to use ?heroic measures? to extend a human life beyond the wishes of the incurable patient?

Where is the line drawn between suicide and wishing to simply fight no more?

Are there lines which can also be drawn between murder, suicide, assisted suicide, withdrawal of life support, and honoring the wishes of a person dying in pain? Are these terms simply playing with words?
