Pulling the Cord...

[roddyisawesome]

Don't pull the plug. Your judgment of him shouldn't change because of money.

Money is the root of all evil.

i had some sympathy for you at beginning
then i saw edited part and you wanna keep him suffering because you wanna find few thousand dollars hidden in mexico?! that's pathetic and very selfish

All i can say, is save him the pain. Dont let the pain drag him along, pull the plug, as he most likely doesnt have long to live. Sorry man, hope your alright.

Don't do it.

Money is the root of all evil.

The love of money is the root of all evil.

Don't do it.

You're Christian, right? Christians believe that you should pull the plug. Something about "If he's ready to die, let him" etc.


OT: I think you should, to be honest.

Once again I must ask you guys for your advice. Recently my grandfather has not been doing to well, he has been diagnosed with so many different illnesses I can't even begin to list them. Me and my grandfather have always had a special relationship, he has been like a second father to me. With his illness's continuing to stack my family has grown more concerned and talk about "pulling the plug" has begun to stir. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse my parents began to insists that I be the one to pull the plug, they believe I had the best relationship with him and I should be the one to put him down. They are even starting to offer me rights to their share of his trust fund. I have told them no so many times I am ready to leave the house in anger but they continue to insist I do it.
I don't know what to do...I can't leave the house but I can't finish my grandfather...I don't even want anyone to pull the plug on him.

Edit: I just had a talk with my parents and I must say, I am about to have a heart attack. My parents just sat me down and explained to me how my grandfather has been
running an underground sex ring for twenty years and he may have hundreds of thousands of dollars saved and hidden somewhere in southern Mexico. I have no idea what to think right now.

Just remember life goes on, You have to deal with things like this, just think that he would not want you to be upset he would want you to enjoy your future. And about the sex ring thing, good job to him, i mean when my dad passed away sure i was really sad/angry but after time you come to deal with it, And my grandad has told me lots of things about my dad like and you just laugh about them... all the best mate

The love of money is the root of all evil.

Just wikipedia'd it and it said

The expression is commonly misquoted as simply "Money is the root of all evil".

I'm one of the noobs that well for the common misquotation.=|

shows you care about your grandfather, your parents are most likely in it for the money otherwise why else would they have mentioned it, if he's in pain i believe "pulling the plug" on him is probably the best option if not then you need to consider your priorities

If he is "brain-dead" there are no hopes to bring him back. Is he suffering? Does he WANT to live on. It shouldn't just be about you and what your family wants, he's got a role. While euthenasia is unethical, in some circustances it may be beneficial to do so.

You shouldn't be concerned with monetary gains or losses when it comes to loved ones. Things have a way of working out. I lost my grandmother and had to pull the plug on her. Just know that what you do will have a lasting effect on you, and it should only be done if there is no hope left. Don't beat yourself up because you made a bad decision, go with what you want and not what your parents want, but keep in mind that your grandfather should have the final say.

Hope this helps
