No, I don’t want to artificially prolong life at all beyond feeding and giving oxygen. The hospice people I’ve been aware of basically pull the plug (so to speak) or increase morphine to hasten death. Where death is imminent, I believe in making the person more comfortable. It has not been my observation that hospice workers restrain themselves from hastening death.

It has been mine.
