I figure natural law will be declared a “hate crime” before too long, sadly.

I spend some time in nursing homes, and repeatedly see patients "on hospice" who are no way ready to die, don't like or want their "hospice girls" who do nothing significant for them, and who end up being taken off hospice care when they stabilize and defeat their six month limit on life.
More than once I have laughed with them about how they "fooled the experts."

As the health care proxy for six elderly relatives let me suggest something to everyone: spend a few minutes and discuss how you wish to die. Because its going to happen.
The folks that work in hospice are angels on earth, and they will help you navigate this course.
And, if you are letting another relative carry this burden for you—and you know who you are—then shut up with your opinions. Get involved or move to the back of the bus. Visiting hours at the funeral home are not the place to have this discussion.

I believed that the increasing doses of morphine were the REAL cause of death of my best friend in 1985, after a long and tragic fight against cancer.
The nurses at the hospital told us before we left for the night (which I did not want to do) the precise time her death would occur.
I have been sickened by this realization which I did not catch on to for a very long time, because of my frantic sorrow at that time, just as I have been bereft that I had to leave her there with noone ... because I was in a strange city in a different state, having been called by her husband as she had wanted me with her, and in the fog of that city, I was with people who never knew her as I had and they chose to go and wait in some kind of vigil at her house.
I could not join them and chose being alone. Besides the sudden death of my husband, nothing has affected me as deeply as that knowledge, that she was "palliatively" KILLED!
