Well yeah, I can agree with that. Sometimes palliative care involves increased dosage of pain medication.

Sometimes palliative care involves increased dosage of pain medication.

And so long as this is done gradually and properly the patient will develop a tolerance to the increased dosages and not die.

However, the point still remains that some of the people who Kevorkian killed suffered from depression, which is not physically painful and generally treatable.

What a depressing subject. Just went through this last year two times with close friends.
