“And to make it sound like hospice workers want to kill everyone is outrageous.”

Not to be disrepctfull, but that’s funny! It’s kind of their job. Have you ever seen a hospice worker trying to cure anybody? I wonder if they would get fired if their patients got better?

A hospice worker's job is to care for terminally ill patients. It is not their job to hasten the process. I'm sure there are some who do, just as there are doctors and nurses who do.

My opinion is that if the patient is unbearable pain, then he should be given an appropriate amount of morphine. Morphine should never be overdosed to hasten death, but if the patient is in so much pain that the appropriate amount of morphine to help with the pain could be dangerous, then you take that chance. But purposely euthanizing a human being is wrong.
