Neil deGrasse Tyson has a great question...

47. I volunteered for Hospice in the same county at the same time she passed.

I was at a meeting where I meet another volunteer who worked in that same location where this woman resided- Woodside Hospice. And I can truthfully tell you this volunteer had only the highest regard for her husband. For years, YEARS, this man had done everything he could to help his wife. He had flown her out of the country to specialists. He had spent years at her side desperately trying to help her. She could no longer be helped and and this other volunteer was completely aware of what had been attempted by her husband. It was demonstrated that any responses this poor woman had to anything were purely involuntary and were not signs of consciousness on any level.
Sometimes we have to love someone enough to let them go. I firmly believe that. How tragic this man was so demonized. How selfish was it by some to attempt to use artificial means to keep this woman "alive".
