Nancy, I read your question and I hope you don't allow them to replace the battery. There is a difference between keeping a person alive and keeping a body alive. Only you and your family, if you were close, know if your mother is having a life. What is so difficult to think and to write is that living can become worthless to the person forced to be "alive" when there is no "life". It isn't about money or ethics or any other trumped up guilt trip. It is about quality of life and goodness. Did your mother have a "good" moment this month?
