Dan,
Again, thanks for your comments. I think one thing that jumped out at me was the difference in situations. I don't know what I would do if I had three kids or were 40. My undergrad degree is in Electrical Engineering and my masters is in Aeronautical Science so I think I am "analytical" also. I have often thought of a "quality of live versus time curve". If you look at the area under the curve I think the area would be similar when you compared a higher quality of life that was shorter in time with a poorer quality of life that lasted longer. I think sometime medicine makes life longer but at the same time it makes it much poorer in quality. I think in the end (no pun intended) everyone has to make their own decision and live (again no pun intended) with their decision.
Cheers
