Betcha most won't be cancer patients soon. From earlier this month and Oregon...

Be very careful with advance directives, folks.

Hopefully the lower house in OR won’t pass it. OR is now totally controlled by commiepukes.

Much of this is cost control and to eliminate the burden on families.

My personal opinion is we have gone to far when treatment is nothing more than keeping a ‘dying’ body alive. ......by this I mean the individual is in the ‘last stages’ of dying....Extreme measures can also sustain the body far beyond the bodies actual ‘death’.

I had a family member who refused to let my brother die....his body swelled up from all the fluids until you could not hardly recognize him. It was a terrible cruel thing to do to him. I’m glad I was not there.

On the other hand my mother went through the dying process and they made her quite comfortable along the way without completely loosing her ability to communicate....I was with her when she left this world. It was difficult to stand by but not unbearable.
