[Lord Nikon]

equally the Hippocratic oath states to 'do no harm' - it could be easily, very easily argued that keeping someone alive in constant pain with no chance of reprieve from that is doing them untold emotional harm and that the kindest least harmful solution is to let them elect to end the suffering. We wouldn't let an animal go through that torment but we do it with people every day. DNR should NOT be the only means of escape from it.
