Grace, it occurs to me that in their weeping and wailing in the hospice, that they are asking for that person to be kept in a life that is... what? When my father-un-law was dying, he WANTED to go. What is it about pentes that they are so terrified of death that they'll do anything to avoid dying? Are they afraid that God with punish them for being such schmucks? You would think that if they had genuine faith, they would welcome death- after all 'to live is Christ, to die is gain'. What gives?
