“I give up. The world is doomed.”
We must never give up or the world WILL be doomed.
Inform everyone you know and PRAY.
no, in palliation you relieve pain, even though it might depress respiration, and that could hasten death.
This is allowed in Catholic ethics, even to the extent of “terminal sedation” where you put a person into a coma to relive the pain.
In hastening death, you adjust the dosage to kill.
The difference? I’ve had a couple patients who, once we relieved their pain, got better...
This country is deserving of the judgment God is going to pour out on it some day.
It is nice to have faith. I don’t. Humanity is doomed.
For every 1 person trying to make the world a better place, there are at least 1 million making it much much worse. It’s amazing that civilization lasted as long as it did. Extinction is long overdue.
For all we know, God changed his mind, gave up on this world, and moved to a different universe.
Nope.....we are the weak ones that give up on God. He never gives up on us!
I think that this is just the “sorting of the wheat from the chaff.” Hang in there, Soothe! We are being tested!

That is a really good point. What you describe is a dangerous attempt at palliative care.
Euthanasia is the deliberate attempt at painless killing with the objective of causing death.
