And one more about that subject...
I once jokingly said that a 6month old baby was ready to die, even though she was ready to get discharged the next day.... She desated to an oxygen level of 32 and I said "Dont you get the hint? Shes trying to knock herself off!"
She died the next night and when my friend called an told me, I started cracking up because I thought she was fucking with me...but she hung up on me she was so upset.
I felt like a real asshole and I will never joke about someones life again.
