I agree with you that people need to make their wishes known and document them long before there is need for it.
You are incorrect to associate a dosage of morphine with induced death. Morphine is an appropriate medical choice for those in sever pain. You do not say what the underlying diseases were that your father and uncle suffered from. To blame pain killers just says that you ae still angry at their deaths and have not come to terms with the mortality of us all. Often family members want to blame the medical personal or the mdeicine given when that is not the cause.

I beg to differ with you. My father died of stroke, my uncle of cancer. I have come to terms with both of their deaths. I am not angry. I simply believe they could have lived longer were it not for the morphine.
