Because it puts greater importance and urgency in making pallative care better. Terminally ill patients should not be suffering in the way they do.
I wonder when the medical world is going to focus on preventative medicine in the same way they do reactive medicine.
Oh yes, when it make the same money.... silly me.
The danger in universally accepting or advocating euthenasia is that it will decrease the importance of making pallative care better, and could lead to situations where sick, old people consider suicide, so as not to burden their families.
But this is a sensative issue. We all hate seeing our loved ones suffer.
I'm so sorry to hear of your cousin MagiK.
I hope he finds peace.
I've lost two relatives to cancer.
I've also had Morphine for extreme pain. I'd hate to be on that and not have it work...
