Little late, I suppose, since I haven't checked this forum in over 2 weeks... too busy... but now that I've been on hold with the DMV for the last 25 minutes, I have to say that I don't like this idea at all. A lot of people on this forum know who I am anyway, and I can do little about that, but I'd...

My grandfather, after serveral strokes was in the hospital in a state from which we knew he would never recover. His lungs were filling with water, and his brain functions had pretty much stopped. When my grandmother was given the choice to either hook him up to machines for God only knows how long ...
