Have surveys been done on what percent of the population in the US or UK feel people in these severe circumstances should have the right to make this kind of choice, or if they should be prevented by the State from doing so. Obviously if people can make these choices, then hospitals and nursing homes might not be able to milk the estates of such people for their own profit.
My mother and my husband did NOT want to die in a hospital, so I cared for them at the end period. My mother who lived to 90 was dying because a pig mitral valve she received at 78 was now failing and she was too frail for another surgery. My husband had Alzheimer’s and I cared for him during the entire 10 years it took for him to die at age 75. More later if this story is visited by others.
Thanks for posting.
