      I had to make the choice to do that with a loved one that spent 11 days in a coma on life support but was declared brain dead. So I didn’t really find this funny when I finally got the joke. But I’m not offended or anything… It just reminded me of something painful.

        It’s funny because the one character in the comic would better serve the world as a corpse

        If you got the opportunity to literally remove the power cord plug for your loved one’s life support form the power outlet, I’d agree that something is a little messed up

        Meanwhile, my wife has an AD and has repeatedly instructed me to shuffle that mortal coil on offa her, so this really isn’t super controversial

          Yeah I’m not bummed by the comic and see the humor… Just glad irl you don’t actually pull the plug yourself… You just give them the go ahead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
