[quote=Anonymous]Hospice uses morphine to deal with pain - when you have 6 months or less to live, no one is worried about addiction. They do not use morphine to hasten death. At the very end, they use morphine to make breathing less labored - families often misinterpret this as hastening the end. Catholic and other proliferation medical facilities and nursing homes, allow hospice to come in which is a strong indication that they are not hastening death. As far as the 6 months to live - that is somewhat elastic. People are often still alive at the end of 6 months and are usually eligible for a renewal of hospice.[/quote]
