This is a truly tragic event. Shouldn't they just switch it off and let them be together with heaven?

Question

I know it is a really hard thing to do but he may not even make the flight back to UK. As a Christian heaven is a much nicer place to be anyway.

Answer 1

I 100% agree with you.  Its a tragedy and I don't think keeping him alive is right.

They should be buried together.

Answer 2

It is a hard thing to do to decide all hope is gone, they look around them and think he needs to be somewhere else to have any hope. I cannot blame them, I would do the exact same thing. I sure would not just give up ever on someone I loved that is for sure.

Answer 3

The poor parents, what a decision to make but where there is hope....

Answer 4

my parents never had a choice wen my bro died last year but given  a chance they wuda dun anyfin to save him!! and as

for heaven an god well  im a lil on the confused side if their  was such a thing as a decient god he wud never have taken my big bro away from us but then again i hope their is a heaven as id love to see him again

Answer 5

i think that a parent will do anything to save the live of a child.His parents love him and want him back. If whilst in the UK it is confirmed that he is brain dead then they will have to let him die.

Answer 6

they are parents doing everything they can for their son. he could recover, you never know. if there's a chance he could recover, you wouldnt you take it

i dont want to get into religion though, im not christian and dont believe in heaven/h**l

Answer 7

PArenrs will do ANYTHING to try and help their children....

Answer 8

Yes I think so.

What sort of existence is mr Mulanny going to have , if by some miracle he begins to breath unaided.

Shocking story. My sympathy goes out to all concerned.

Answer 9

If only we knew what heaven was, then we could or dould not agree with you. This alleged destiny is the controller of our minds, as I see it. My sympathy goes to the family, and my good wishes go to the injured man.

Answer 10

There's nothing in the story that suggests they believe in heaven, so that comment is a bit... nonsensical.

but other than that you are right.

But then again, try to put yourself in their place. You'd try everything too.

Answer 11

I agree as he is likely to be badly brain damaged anyway, what sort of life will he have.

But the Christian heaven bit? Do me a favour....there is no such place.

Answer 12

I bet if I had posted this question everyone would have been down on me like a tonne of bricks once again saying how insenstive and cruel I was.

Answer 13

No he could make a recovery and still have another life ahead of him.

He can marry again you know!

I wouldn't want leaving to die if my partner died.

Life goes on.

Answer 14

Sight and Wonder. There is something called divine healing. In Bible, Jesus did raise his brother who was dead sometime.

Anyway, in medical history; such brain-death person may be awaken sometime and the possibility would be in million-th.

Then, do we have right to switched off the machine and commit murder?

Answer 15

If I were his parents I would probably want him back home so doctors could give a second opinion.  Heaven is a wonderful place but I do believe in miracles here on earth and there may be something they can do for him, maybe he isn't completely brain dead.  I would want him to be close instead of in the country where he and his wife were so brutally attacked.  This story is so very tragic.

Answer 16

How do we realistically know there's a heaven.

Answer 17

When we heard about this my husband said if it was us he wouldn't want to wake up if I wasn't there and I agreed, but that is kind of selfish isn't it?

His family will be devastated to lose their daughter-in-law, but to them that's no reason to lose their son either.  Like any family, I'm sure they will cling to every little bit of hope they have.

They will make what ever decision is right for them and their son when the time comes.

Answer 18

If our intensive care is better than that in Antigua, then give it a chance. If the man really is brain dead then switching off the life support in GB is no different from doing it in the caribbean, but at least they will have given their son every last chance. I wish them well.

Saying good-bye to one's child cannot be easy, and your ludicrous implication that he may be better of dead is offensive - how would you feel if this unfortunate man was your son, and you knew that there was even a remote chance of saving him?

Answer 19

yes they should let him go, he'd want to be with his wife anyway. In a way it's cruel keeping him alive

Answer 20

No I would want to give him a chance with a better equipped and skilled medical team.Then I'd know I'd given him every chance possible.It may be futile but you cannot throw away the opportunity and at least they'll be comforted knowing they tried their best.

They could be atheist.Christian Heavens wouldn't figure then.

Answer 21

parents should not have to bury their children.
