"That's exactly why there have been such great strides in palliative care in this country and why we need the Pain Relief Promotion Act."

Did you even read my post? There came a point at which no amount of medication relieved my father's pain. AND I was giving him just as much as I could without killing him!

I feel for you, I REALLY do, it breaks my heart EVERY time I hear such a story, but it was your fathers decision, if he lived in Oregon that is, otherwise he did NOT have that option.

If I was in that type of condition, I would certainly not want to put my family through such hardship, and I sure as heck wouldn't want to go through it. I have that choice here in Oregon, and to have people tell me that they want to take that choice away, even though it IS constitutional, and an individual choice, just pisses me off!!

Your morality is yours, if you think that Death with dignity is wrong, THEN DON'T DO IT, BUT, do not force your morality on me, it is MY choice, and to have that option is another way for doctors to show the compassion they must feel for patients that are terminal.

Lord knows that I would be VERY thankful to my doctor for allowing me that option!!

I am glad that you support it, and feel sick about those that would force their morality on others through the federal government.
