There has been lots of controversy and schools of thought lately regarding Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's comatose daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown. She is not expected to come out of this as nothing more than a vegetable. Yet Bobby and the family cannot bring themselves to pull the plug on Bobbi's life.
This conundrum came up ten years ago with Terri Schiavo and how her husband left her in a coma for months before finally letting her go.
This is indeed a touchy subject, especially when it involves your child. The active parents and relatives involved should make this decision and not health professionals.
It is a situation none of us want to be in. I could say I would pull the plug on one of my beloved ones. However, I wouldn't really know how I would react until the ordeal actually happened.
I will say the best thing is to keep all hope alive, gather all of the relevant information and pray. One of three things will happen: the person will be 100%, brain dead, or they will be gone. Many have beaten the odds before so again it's all on that family.
Let's respect the Browns' decision in this matter. It's a difficult time for them, especially since Whitney has been gone nearly three years now.
Would you pull the plug in this situation? Would you want your family to end your resuscitation if you were unresponsive and comatose?
