My Mother had a stomach disease, she was too weak for an operation & in pain, the Doctors told us she would eventually die. After some consultation, she was taken to a side ward & given Morphine, she saw her family, then I stayed with her until she died. During that time the Morphine machine kicked in more frequently & I am convinced it killed her. It was the right choice to make & I will always be grateful that she passed in peace. I hope that when my time comes my children will do the same.
Given the choice now, while i`m sane, (No skits, please) I would sign my life away rather than live with endless pain, or Dementia, & I would ask my children to support my decision. I never want to be a burden on my family, they mean far too much to me. You play the cards fate deals you, only you should decide when to chuck your hand in.
A Duty to Die? No. If we accept this we would all end up getting a cyanide pill for our retirement.
