You can also blame hospitals for doing that and other things that cause death. The question is whether it is done intentionally or accidentally, w/r/t morality. Iatrogenic death kills a lot of people each year.

Hospitals are more diabolical even than hospices.
Hospitals pretend to be treating those they deem worthy to die, especially the elderly.

I have seen this abomination with my own eyes twice and know of three other hospitals doing the same thing to a physician friend’s father.

Watch out for your loved ones dear Freepers and friends.

What hospitals do is not feed or hook the patient to an IV line and give them liquid feeding, waterpain meds and antibiotics if infection. They cut down on water a litlle, on calories to as much as a quarter of the requirements, and throw the cheapest sntibiotics without doing cultures. They reduce the oxygen flow a little. This inadequate treatment assures that in most cases the patient will not have the strength to get well, will die from an inadequately treated infection and need a miracle to survive.

Watch your loved ones. Educate yourselves on proper amounts of water, food, oxygen and proper care of infections.

Well, a person dying of cancer might choose to take fewer painkillers so he/she can continue to have something like a normal relationship with friends and family.

The other horrendous experience which she also received was His Crowning with thorns,

Thanks for the interesting comment (all of it).

I personally have experienced a physical phenomenon something like the crown of thorns -- but I claim no religious connotation -- and have had to wear gauze over the top of my head (and a hat) for at least 25 years. As I say I do not claim it has anything to do with Jesus' suffering -- but whenever I say the Third Sorrowful Mystery it kind of has a special meaning to me.

If you are in the kind of pain that cancer can provide, taking fewer painkillers is NOT going to give you a more normal life of any kind.

You're welcome, and that's interesting, Steve. Since the Crowning of Thorns takes on a special meaning to you, maybe "the phenomenon" is something from Jesus. Because everything is, regardless anyway... or He allows it I should say...

There’s a fine balance. Some people can’t stand pain at all. Come legalized suicide and they will just check out. Other’s grin and bear it rather than stay doped up. Like Big Daddy on “Cat on a hot tin roof.”
