Ach, Faralas, my very best and dearest friend is 32 yrs old, had 200 (!) operations - had been 3x in month-long coma - had been given up by the docs - she is still alive!
You can't imagine the humilities she went through since I know her. I have lost faith in the oath of Hippocrates and I have lost faith in the German social system. She had Decubitus (open wounds) from lying too long. She was denied a water bed to ease her pain - she has allergies, so she needs microfaser underwear => she was only allowed to buy 2 bras a yer. I couldn't stand that anymore, I paid everything. You know why? She loves life! She doesn't cling to it, but everytime I see her - I see the symbol of life. She laughs, she loves and she is so courageous. So, if anyone would dare to say => she's too expensive for our social/med society, I'd freak out - as I have already done towards some people.

There is only one thing important for me => if a creature decides to live and wishes to live => it has every damn right to live. And every damn right to get support! If a creature decides to die and has no wish to live any longer => I respect this. I can only do this for my cats atm - but she and I talked often about death - and I gave her my promise to help her, in the direction SHE wishes.
