My mother-in-law is in the last stages of Parkinson's Disease. She can barely swallow melted ice cream and liquids. She is at home under the care of my wife, a full time live-in caregiver, and we now have Hospice care. The Hospice nurses are very understanding. She is still being given her Parkinson's meds, we have changed pain meds to relieve her pain, but we will let her die as naturally as possible.

Will we give her something to push her over the edge? Not only NO, but NO!
