Re: the previous post with the poll at the bottom.  If you say "other" then I'd be interested to know why, because I'd like to know which bases I didn't cover.

If you don't want to argue about it in public, feel free to drop me an email at andrew@ducker.org.uk and I _promise_ not to argue if you ask me not to.

Which is rather similar to what I said. :) Nice to know I'm not the only one thinking this way. For me, "survive independantly" would mean that "extreme" medical measures aren't necessary. Of course, then one has to define exactly what is considered "extreme." *sigh* Sticky questions, all.

If it was easy we wouldn't need philosophers! It has to be done on a case by case basis, really. These things are also much easier to theorise about than to deal with when it's for real and you have to make a decision with real consequences.

*nods* Most of my theories have developed over the years after knowing several women who've had to make the choice. It's never easy, but you're right in that it's less so when actually in the situation.
