Yes. I am a physician and have watched people in the terminal stages of their lives. I also watched a parent die in a hospice. It would be best, if possible, to be able to die at home, with dignity. This is not always possible, and can be hard on the family, but when it is right I think this is better than dying in a place you are unfamiliar with.

I agree with that. If you can have the proper care and have Hospice come to your home to administer...it is much friendlier for the patient to be in his/her own environment with loving family and friends there with them.
