P.Silveira:
No one on this sphere knows how or when we will die. I would say it is very unprofessional for a health care person, doctor, nurse, etc. to make such a profound and untrue statement.
To state that there is a chance he will die from this is more correct. God is the only entity that knows our fate. If God has a use for your dad he will remain, if not, he will die. It is not my intention to offend any person, sect, religion or creed. But as for me, personally, my belief on my Personal Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, bolsters my faith in the immortality of the soul and that when I close my eyes in death,they will open again and I will be looking into the face of my savior in his glorious kingdom.
