The question I thought that I had put forward was this. How is it legal or moral to "up the dose" to ease "mother" to her reward. Yet illegal to poison her brownies, or simply shoot her in the back of the head?

It IS NOT legal to increase dosage in order to hasten death, and even in the place it is legal it is a sin.

The result is the same. A person has decided to play God, and ended the inconvenience of watching a loved one suffer during the death process. One is messy and verboten. The other, quite acceptable.

BOTH are unacceptable.

I don't know about your experience, but I have had several with family or friends who have died. In nearly every case, a decision is made by a "nurse" or doctor to "up the dose". In every case I have watched this happen, death was really not imminent. What was imminent, is that medical staff and family now are shortening the lives of people they “love” in the name of compassion.

What you witness is a crime.

What I have described is not only now accepted, it is legal in the sense that no legal authority will investigate unless it is the death of someone named "Gotrocks", or Bill Gates.

Let me make myself perfectly clear, do YOU condone these measures to hasten death? YES or NO.
