I thought I’d made it clear from my very first post that I do not approve of assisted suicide. I was promoting hospice care which is using palliative treatments with “comfort drugs”... so that a dying person does not suffer greatly...allowing them to have a quality in what life they have left ...in a dignified manner...with loved ones at their side.

Thank you for clearing that up, I couldn’t agree more (as long as it is true hospice care and not the ones that seem to be trending toward euthanasia through dehydration and starvation).

But don’t the pallative drugs contribute to their death? I’ve always wondered. (My husband’s death and Terri Schiavo’s death)
