I watched a program about people dying in Palliative Care. It showed how they deteriorated and finally to where they were on their death beds. They lay there - sometimes for days, struggling to breathe, with the death rattle in their throats. It was painful to watch, and I can't see how anyone could watch and not see that allowing this seems very much like torture. If this were YOUR loved one, how could you watch this? Do people really believe that we need to 'go through Hell' to get to Heaven? Can we watch the people we love, going through torture, and feel this is okay?
I'm not talking about Euthanasia for any situation other than this one - the struggle for breath that's slipping away, with NO CHANCE for recovery ...
