Clearly I’m trying to have a rational conversation with a child.
Go back to your mothers basement and google natural dying process.

Sorry Lil Flower,

You don’t make any sense.

Your hubris doesn’t help.

You seem quite committed to euthanasia in any and all cases. Why?

I don’t mean to, or want to trade insults. My original post was quite pithy, I acknowledge and I apologize for that.

My point, though, is valid and I don’t know that you are understanding it.

You are conflating issues of eminent death with concomitant organ failure with quality of life issues that many families face, when there is no issue of eminent death.

Very often, and I think it is the norm today, there is pressure to “just let him/her go”. This is often couched under the palliative care umbrella.

Yet supportive care such as a simple feeding line in to the stomach can end the issues of pneumonia and poor nutrition that age related dementia patients have. These patients can live years this way. It’s quite unobtrusive and simple and does a world of good for their physical health.
