Well I never thought much about the best way for me to die but I certainly know the worse way would be to have me climbing a cliff and then a black widow craws up and bites me then falling to the water below have a great white shark finish the job and eat me alive I'm petrified of them bothgregduncan

Hmmmm...two things come to mind, to die in Christ and to go out with my boots on...I suppose...and not debilitated and languishing. I'd be nice to be allowed the luxury of saying..."To you I commend my spirit..." No doubt my death will be fitting though, whatever the case shall be! GB!

Whatever way God chooses for me would be best. Even if it be a painful slow death He will give me the strength to endure adversity and the pain with courage,as He always does.

Things like, do you want the plug pulled ? Only if Im brain dead i think i'd be praying that they read my wishes to harvest (glean) what they can of my body, while it is still viable, to give someone else healing in their lives. i want to have the peace of knowing that the tissues weren't damaged, due to hesitancy. i agree that it's good to make the choices we can as we go along. none of us ever know our appointed time or if it will hit us hard or quietly, but quickly and take our bodies away. or if it'll hit us hard or quietly, but slowly take us from this existence. this year, month, week, day, hour, moment, could be our time. are we prepared? i don't think we ever are precisely prepared for the moment, but we know that there are some preparations that we need to know we've made...  the Lord bless you, shar InHisLoveYSICsharloa

I know a woman who is wheel chair bond and horrified at the idea that because she cannot use her body she should not be alive. The movie, Million Dollar Baby won an Oscar suggesting that mercy-killing a quadroplegic was heroic. She said people look at her and assume she does not want to be alive. This is not the case. Our life on this earth is so short. As Christians we have eternity in the freedoms of heaven to look forward to. What's a few decades in a limited body?? I hope your earthly exit is far in the future and extremely gentle! i certainly don't encourage anything of the nature of what you are suggesting. i am disabled and i know the fears of being vulnerable and being a targeted population, but that is not what this is about. the movie is a nasty representation of the way that people's ideas of right and wrong can get distorted. it's a wake-up call. my best friend has severe disabilities. she loves life. having a perfect body doesn't mean you love life. they just don't correlate. i'm talking about a few years on life support with no ability to do anything, except experience a long, slow death, which would be over, in a few minutes if someone would just pull the plug... the silent scream. but it's illegal.

sharloa I agree, if my brain is still alive then I can utilize the time but brain dead is a wastes of time....only my shell is there. Isaiah 42:8 " I am the Lord; that is my name! And My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to graven images."

I'm certain someone is thinking....what about suicide ? " I can take my own life when I'm good and ready.

hi fieldlilies, thank you for your comment. i will respond to clarify. i am talking about the situation in which a person has nothing left, but to die, but instead of letting it happen naturally - the person is attached to artificial life support, because the brain is alive. the person is ready to die, but modern science won't allow people to die anymore, unless you tell them that you refuse the artificial life support. so, they intubate them, they pace make them, they IV them, they respirate them and they wait for the brain to die. well, that is a person trapped in a dead body that science is keeping alive - because the brain is alive. AND, once this process is started, the family is often/if not usually powerless to stop the life support. this is what i'm talking about. i certainly don't encourage anything of the nature of what you are suggesting. i am disabled and i know the fears of being vulnerable and being a targeted population, but that is not what this is about. the movie is a nasty representation of the way that people's ideas of right and wrong can get distorted. it's a wake-up call. my best friend has severe disabilities. she loves life. having a perfect body doesn't mean you love life. they just don't correlate. i'm talking about a few years on life support with no ability to do anything, except experience a long, slow death, which would be over, in a few minutes if someone would just pull the plug... the silent scream. but it's illegal.

sharloa I agree, if my brain is still alive then I can utilize the time but brain dead is a wastes of time....only my shell is there. Then now the spirit is in your brain??? Still fully clinically dead is when the heart stops. /\/\/\/\vˆv\'..._______________________ ] Still, how would you explain all the cases of near- and after-death experiences, and testimonies of people who actually "revived" and told they had seen their own body from the outside of it ??? Science fiction??? Fantasy? If this "whatever trapped in the body" has a self-awareness, could anyone really take responsibility for and decide as his/her delegate?

Bister Bait just because the body is artificially kept alive it is dead Au Naturale when the brain, which is the body's central control system is shut off. Lights out  Isaiah 42:8 " I am the Lord; that is my name! And My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to graven images."

Steve, check this out. Texas woman wins a free funeral at baseball game GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas (AP) - Elaine Fulps was unusually happy for a woman who just got her funeral all lined up. Maybe that's because the 60-year-old Arlington woman who just won the funeral in a promotion at a minor league baseball game won't need to cash in her prize any time soon. "I almost croaked many times," said Fulps, who donned a neck brace and has undergone 20 surgeries for various medical problems. "God still has me around for a reason. To win a funeral." The $10,000 prize won't expire until after Fulps does, said Ron Alexander, the sales manager at Oak Grove Memorial Gardens. Oak Grove partnered with the Grand Prairie AirHogs of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball and Irving's Chapel of Roses Funeral Home for the promotion at Tuesday night's game. Fans in this Dallas suburb were eager to join in the grim fun. Some finalists for the prize arrived dressed in black or looking like death. Before the game, the finalists participated in a pallbearer's race, a mummy wrap and a eulogy delivery in between innings. Fulps, randomly chosen as the winner at night's end, said she'll choose a casket and plot as soon as she recovers. "I'm going to pick a spot under a tree out of the Texas heat," she said in The Dallas Morning News' Wednesday editions. "And let's hope it's a pet-free cemetery. I don't want to get watered on." 2008-06-04 Copyright 2008 The Associated Press Isaiah 42:8 " I am the Lord; that is my name! And My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to graven images."
