What I despise most is the pseudo-moralistic underpinnings of the movement. Disgusting.

On the contrary, home hospice allowed my terminally ill father and brother to die in their own beds, with their families by their sides, not hooked up to fruitless IVs in a sterile hospital.

You judge an entire, worthwhile process by one abuse, and that's not fair.

So very comforting to allow those we love to die without pain and suffering, isnt it? Comforting for them (I guess) and for those whose lives are inconvenienced by approaching death. Americans as a whole avoid the whole subject as it make them uncomfortable.

Plain and simple: Hospice can no longer claim the higher moral ground that it eases the sick and dying (we are all dying). When so many chapters are hooked into insurance providers and euthanisiacs have infiltrated their centers and their boards, it is time for an overhaul or better yet, a complete investigation of the inner workings.
