About four years ago my mother had major heart problems. The hospital had to put her on a respirator. The nurses spoke to the family and asked us to let her go. She hated the respirator and tried to pull it out. She asked the hospital just to let her die. Well, she lived and you never know she went through a dark period of her life.
If she had been under the care of these doctors, they may have given her the death pills.
I am afraid there will be doctors that will quickly dispense these death pills.

I agree. For some. It will depend on your class, politics, and wealth.

“These doctors”—more like LAWYERS. This is not being pushed by doctors.

Rule of thumb, in my biz.

If the patient is awake, and strong enough to remove the ET tube...they are probably ready to be rid of it.

It's just a rule of thumb...and thumbs get broken.

FWIW-
