I tend to agree. I worked in a hospital 20 years ago and there is no worse way to die than having cancer while being incarcerated by a hospital. I remember one patient telling me it was like being burned alive 24/7 thats how bad the pain is then all the time the patients would be begging me for death, yes, begging me to kill them. No way. Yes suicide is a mortal sin but hell cant be much worse than the stuff I witnessed. The worst of all time was one woman who tried to cut the cancer from her lungs with a pocket knife thats how bad it is.

I’ve read that that treat terminal cancer patients with heroin in some countries. We don’t do that here because we’re apparently afraid they’ll become drug addicts.

I disagree. A right to die,, soon becomes a duty to do so. And the ones who want to fight to their last breath become greedy and selfish. And then “professionals” know they need to step in.

Medical people need to have a single focus of doing all they can to treat and relieve pain. They are not the people who should EVER be entrusted with refusing an available treatment that the patient can afford. Making government the bill payer, makes them the decider of what you get. This is FAR different from an insurance company i do not have to buy from. A company i can sue if they breach my contract.
