Questions & Answers
I asked an angel (whom we'll call Mimi) what she would do if a relative (let's name this hypothetical relative Tammy) of hers was in a coma and had no ability to feel pain due to being born with a condition that disallows feeling pain.
Another relative (whom we'll call Deronda) chose to end Tammy's life by disconnecting her from life support.
The doctors refused because in their fictional town, named "Hyden," you can't do that for the following reasons:
1. It's a mercy killing, but if the patient is in no physical pain, they cannot act.
2. The doctors knew the patient was in such a deep coma that they were unconscious, and thus felt no emotional pain.
3. The patient was in a coma and unconscious; thus, the patient cannot consent.
The angel told me she'd heal Tammy. Then, I asked, "How would you react to Deronda wanting to end Tammy's life?" She said that it'd be the biggest form of betrayal.
I also asked how she'd react if Deronda only did it to relieve Tammy's perceived pain and suffering, even though Tammy felt no pain and suffering at the time?
The angel answered, "How can she feel pain if she's in a coma?" When I asked again because I forgot she had already answered, as I'm more forgetful now, she said, "I'd ask why she'd do that if she can't feel pain."
