there are states where that can be done. still not a court case I would want to rule on if I were a judge. That all being said we have far fewer choices in life than what we should in many respects. i would like to have some control of the way I go out. That is for sure. I watched my grandmother go in a way I have no plans on letting happen to myself. I will take it into my own hands at that point. Getting old sucks and dying sucks. You will never get out of this life alive, just gotta grin and bear it I guess. Billions have gone before us with no more comforts than we have.A shot of something that will humanely end the suffering of the patient. I realize that can quickly turn into a slippery slope of who get's what and when, but that can be mitigated with a review of the patient's condition by 3 doctors all of whom have to sign off.yep, dying sucks. sorry for the stress on the family but how else sholuld it be done?Some things just suck and there isn othing you can do about it. hospice makes the transition as easy as it can be but still not a fun time.This good man lived his 74 years with dignity, but is now in and out of consciousness, no grasp of reality and no hope of recovery. He came home 3 days ago because the family couldn't visit him in the hospital. They thought he would go quickly but he isn't. So now what? Why do we do this? Why is there no option for termination of life in hopeless end of life situations? His wife is flipping out, his daughter who I will be helping out with the Mom, is at her wits end. The Grand kids are freaking out. This is just a nightmare.
