[Nowhere Man]

Typical un-named source anti-hospice materiel from a group that advocates prolonging life no matter how much pain the terminally ill patient is enduring.

Let them experience the pain for 24, or 2400 hours, then possibly re-evaluate their position.

Well, it is wrong to hasten death, from what I understand when I listen to Art Bell and George Noory when this topic comes up, for some people, this is part of the life experience and even when this is cut short, it can affect the Afterlife. I can't prove it one way or another but I leave these things up to God. If I may borrow from another religion, there is a belief in Buddhism where "all life is suffering until one achieves Nirvana," a state of total bliss and lack of want. Again, perhaps this is part of the process. Coming back to Earth, bringing about death faster is a slipperly slope to promoting it in the future.

I think a human being in the horrible pain of terminal bone cancer should get to decide.

A few years ago, a brilliant surgeon I knew was diagnosed with such a cancer. The pain reached a point where no drugs could control it. She invited everyone to her own wake. She had an incredibly wonderful party. We all got to say those benevolent things we usually reserve for someone's epitaph, but in this case, she got to hear them while she was alive.

That night, she took an overdose and passed away peacefully, avoiding about a month of intractable pain.

Is suicide wrong? Sure... but in this case, which is NOT a typical hospice case, who knows?
