Let me see if I've got this right...

Then where would we get the drugs for the bozos in the “media?”

Britain is terminally ill, and they must all be doing hallucinogens.

“The controversial suggestions include using ecstasy and ‘magic mushrooms’ to encourage closer bonding with family members and reduce anxiety in the final hours of life.”
Well everyone in the room would have to be wasted on that stuff for that to work really.....

"...go ahead and let us kill you...we'll make sure that it is a profound experience..."A profoundly wretched experience, to be sure, as the patient -- induced into a state of detached dysphoria on his deathbed -- blurts out decontextualized utterings utterly inappropriate to the family and friends who stop by to pay him tribute.
I would pass a law that would force these junk science types to undergo exactly their recommendations.

'We have the technology to enhance the experience of dying. I imagine dying sucks.
On heavy drugs, it would probably suck worse.
A light buzz might be alright though....

A medical ethics expert has said hallucinogenic drugs could be used to enhance the experience of dying. When the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars...uuug please. Pain management is one thing but hallucinogenic drugs?

"Britain is terminally ill, and they must all be doing hallucinogens."A brilliant metaphor. Spot on.

I remember reading that Aldous Huxley took acid as he was dying and had his wife write down what he was saying through the experience.
I read the things his wife captured and I remember thinking it was very macabre and creepy.

The controversial suggestions include using ...'magic mushrooms' to ...reduce anxiety in the final hours of life. There are quite a few anxiety-reducing drugs. ...lol..and psiloybin - the psychedelic indole found in 'shrooms -. isn't one of them. Timothy Leary checked out while on an acid trip, and from what I read he didn't have the most peaceful sendoff.
I'd prefer a bottle of Old Grandad 114.

Rather like Edward G's experience in Soylent Green. Albeit it was a screen and music playing...seemed he was very relaxed. He drank the poison, probably laced with some euphoric...
