Oregon Elephant;103423]Choosing under what circumstances one wishes to be alive or not is not selfish. Everyone has a different level of where they wish for DNR, many it is if the become a vegatible, but some are much lower (such as her, with a blood transfusion). You can't call some selfish just because they put DNR at a different level than you.
Yes, I am calling it selfish. It is different if you are ill, or depressed, she was neither and the belief she held is misguided at best.

It's not about single parenthood, although that is difficult enough in itself. How much more difficult with the knowledge that he killed the mother? That is effectively what he did by not allowing the doctors to treat his wife.

I hope you are right.
