Sorry Lori if I misunderstood you. For all of us who will need an organ in the

future, let's hope one becomes available to each and everyone of us. Let's also

hope the donor of the organs has the least amount of suffering possible before

their gift of life.

confusing brain dead with being in a coma/ vegetative state??

doesn't is because the patient is on a ventilator? So if not for the ventilator,

the patient dies (or am I wrong about that?). I wouldn't think removing a

patient from a ventilator (if they are brain dead) would be playing God.

past high profile cases where a spouse of someone in a coma/veg state wants to

remove the feeding tube, but is blocked by the patient's other family members

(parents) and human rights groups).

try to play God and decide when someone should die. Brain dead or not they are

still alive in my opinion. I can't really think of anywhere in the scriptures

that would disagree with me. Just my 2 cents.
