TO BE OR NOT TO BE

'' To be or not to be'', this familiar quotation from Shakespeare's Hamlet has repeated along years, and this exhibits a considerable issue that is a thin line between death and life. The worst is to live on the line or walk the line with more popular expression. So, leaving Martin in the 'brain dead' position would suffer him and his family either. Sometimes, living in the memories is better than agonizing in the corridor of hospitals. But, we can not blame his family about their hesitation. Martin, a father of two young children, a son of his parents, a brother of his siblings and a husband of his wife, is so precious for them. We can not easily suggest them to let him go. This issue is directly about medical, social, psychological and religious phenomenons. In my opinion, Martin's family should listen to his doctors carefully and they should comprehend medical decision which is nothing to do for him. I think, to abandon him on the line is worst decision that his family has options.
