I caught on to your sarcasm and agree.
I think that terminally ill patients should be able to have all tha painkillers they want. Sure, they are addictive. But at least they can live out their days in comfort.
I remember was back in 1969, my beloved mother was days from death due to colon cancer. I was begging the nurses to give her a painkiller, and they refused, saying "Oh, it hasn't been four hours yet - we can't give her a shot, she may become addicted". Barbaric, it was.
