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.

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.

And just because you believe it does not make it so. I hope you never have to go through the type of pain associated with both stroke and cancer. The body goes into shock and starts shutting down when the pain is sufficiently great. Treatment for pain is needed to provide the body a chance to recupperate ( as much as it can).
