WTF on East Coast Drive: ‘I want to unplug my mom because I need the inheritance’
It is known to us all that death is inevitable. Losing our
loved ones is never an easy task to deal with, especially if it’s our parents.
Even more so when they are in a vegetative state and are kept alive by a
machine.
With WTF we have all learnt that the plot always thickens. In this edition of WTF, a woman wrote in stating that she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Why? Well, that’s the interesting part. She wanted to pull the plug on her mother because she was in debt and needed the inheritance to get her name off the ‘black list’, because waiting for the inevitable just seemed like forever.

However, her siblings were not ready to give up on their mom. Despite anonymous being in debt, her whole reason behind pulling the plug was wanting to put an end to her mom’s suffering and let her rest in peace, because she had been terminally ill for quite some time.
