[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do you have POA? If she is (appears to be) of sound mind you can't sign her up for anything. And hospice won't force itself on her no matter what you say.

If she is going to die and has a terrible quality of life, and if a surgeon will do the surgery, why not let that happen? if she dies due to the procedure she is just dying more quickly, and without all the [b]heinousness of end of life palliative care[/b].[/quote]

I'm sorry to ask as I'm not familiar with this. I thought hospice was to be comforting and certainly less stressful than (unnecessary and expensive) surgery for little to no quality of life, and possible contraction of Covid, MRSA, etc.

Are you basically saying that it's more humane for her to die now (let's say not from the surgery but through euthanasia if that were possible). You are saying that in not so many words. That she should die in the surgery so why not euthanisia. ASking the hard questions because we are approaching this too. [/quote]
