Please just let him go now.

Very sorry to hear this Mike! I was spared this with my parents as they both died quickly from heart attacks. Although I witnessed it first hand with my uncle and you're so right. Where's the dignity in keeping a body "functioning" on the brink with chemicals when all of us want to pass on with some sort of class and diginity. Call me crazy, but I never saw the crime in what Kevorkian did in cases like this! I'll say a prayer for you and your family!
