[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in healthcare and many of my coworkers as well as friends in healthcare have plans in our heads of how we would end our own suffering in certain situations that would be peaceful. Personally and professionally, I think it's cruel to force someone to live out the end of disease. We don't make our pets suffer. That said, there are so many ethical issues involved I can't see it every being very widespread. [/quote] My dad had a massive heart attack. My sibling is a doctor and she convinced doctors to do the surgery. He was on a vent for a week and struggling before she was willling to let go. He would have been in a nursing home or rehab for months with the possibility of never getting his quality of life back with other issues. She refused to follow the DNR and she and he kept it from me so he had a horrific week of suffering. I don't get why not let people pass in peace either assisted or naturally.[/quote]
