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.

Exactly ...
“But purposely euthanizing a human being is wrong.”
Again, not being disrepectful for your opinion, but if it’s ok for the family pet to be relieved of their end game pain, maybe I want that option too. My Grandfather recently passed and he was begging the family to let him go, it was time. 20 years of parkinson’s might convince all of us. The big secret is that hospice allows for this by skipping the death inquiry.
