I must be honest here because I’ve worked with many who are just awaiting painfully for their last breath. In medicine sometimes we induce coma, or just make them”happy.”

Honestly, I’m all for that and for myself also, I pray for that happy juice if suffering burtally.

Otherwise I’d hold out as long as I can, the best I can. I don’t know if that’s biblical or not.

Even with animals I see no reason prolonging pain to death. So, at what point is it murder/suicide or mercy?

I’m not sure.

Making people comfortable is not the same as intentionally inducing death.

Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish. (Proverbs 31:6)
