A word from a family member... I found this on Amazon quite by accident, doing the family name search thing; Joseph and Ruth Ragona were my parents (I'm the youngest of their four children). While the article is informative it also doesn't begin to cover the magnitude of pain, frustration and grief my family went through; the irony of it all is just days after the court issued the order to allow my mother's feeding tube to be removed, she died of an infection resulting from bed sores--Christmas Day, no less, a week from when the tube was to be removed. Why am I posting this review? Just to add a bit of perspective to the article from someone who lived through it. August 15, 2008
