### Now is not the time to debate the issues, and my concern was not to condemn but to give a quick opinion which I had to reconfirm in my own personal experience, in hopes that it would give you one of hopefully other viewpoints. I did want to respond to above, namely, that in Ohio the language and options makes a distinction here. No heroic measures does not mean no food and water. I had POA for health care for my mother and worked through the living wills for both parents with much care because of the tendency to "pull the plug" as a solution. Anyway, there were two parts, one which I did not feel a Christian could ever except, the other which I thought described exactly what we wanted.

Anyway, God in His sovereignty has acted, and praise Him for the hope we have in him. Sympathies and peace for you and your family.

Carl
