I am really sorry the passing of your father was so distressful. It did not have to be that way. Somewhere between symptoms and diagnosis a decision was tacitly made and agreed to by you, your father, and the doctor to prolong his life at all costs. You have to ask yourself if that memory of those months of agonized life was worth the extra months of life. It is understandable why you made that decision you did as you only had one chance to get it right, with little if any input and help from the medical professions. I am sure if you had to do it again a hospice with a dignified death would have been your choice. I say this with the greatest compassion and empathy, not only for your but also others who have faced a horrible end to a good life.
What do you know of 'dignified death?' Have you seen it? Has a member of your family had a 'dignified death?' Tell me? I'd really like to know the fricken difference between Death and 'dignified death'.
Otherwise just STFU as you have no idea what the hell you're talking about. And you're only repeating the bullshit line of the MSM.

SandwicheGuy’s post sounds like something that would’ve fit perfectly in Aldous Huxley’s novel, “Brave New World,” doesn’t it? Frightening.
As you know, there IS dignity in fighting. My father fought to his last breath. The toughest part was fighting the doctors and nurses who wanted him to give in, just to make everything more convenient for themselves. One of the last things I told my father before he passed was that he was my hero, the strongest person I’ve ever known. Many of us here are survivors ourselves now, too. No one promised that life would be easy!

This A-hole made it personal with his “death-to-useless-eaters” crap. Sarah is a fine lady, and it infuriates me to see her painful memories of her father’s death used against her, to advance the death culture.
Please rip this one to shreds.
This sounds like a brochure from one of the Obamacare death panels.
It is understandable why you made that decision you did as you only had one chance to get it right, with little if any input and help from the medical professions.
How kind of you to give a person permission to want to stay alive.
I'm going to say this as simply as I can, NOBODY NEEDS A DOCTOR TO TELL THEM IT'S OKAY TO WANT TO LIVE!
I am sure if you had to do it again a hospice with a dignified death would have been your choice.
There's no dignity in dying. People who have dignity in life die and maintain their dignity, people who don't have dignity die without it; death itself doesn't convey dignity to a person.
You are simply repeating the culture of death's lies.
I say this with the greatest compassion and empathy,
Kervorkian knew how to smile and sound sincere too.
You are reading from the pamphlet from a death panel, aren’t you?
