Your only against this if you have never had a loved one in your arms dying with PAIN as their organs melt with cancer from within, one by one, day by day by day by day. The “end” does not happen quickly in many cases it takes days and days of living hell.

Worked in the hospital for years...Nursed in my own home a mother dying of multiple myloma, that took 6 weeks and a father dying of leukemia years later...In the hospital if the doctor is worth a damn, pain killers are given even if the amount needed hastens death...Mother was on 3 pain killers and she never complained about pain...Only took my dad 3 days and he was not the type to linger. I had injections for him from the doctor....I worked oncology from time to time...All patients were properly given pain medication. The pain comes from the family having to sit by and watch.....
