Personally I would prefer lots of morphine or stronger drugs, but then I am not a believer. |

I agree with you, we should be able to say enough is enough. When a horse breaks its leg, it is put down immediately no matter the value of the horse and yet humans are left to suffer. Again, I am very sorry about your wife. |

A relative of mine living in Florida was diagnosed with end stage pancreatic cancer. She decided against chemo. Her doctor would not prescribe medical marajuana for some reason and I found this rediculous. Someone obtained and gave her the medical marajuana. She seemed so much more comfortable and even happy on it. She even lived longer than the doctor said she would - don't think he ever knew. Be your own health care advocate, do research, try different things, and don't be afraid to switch doctors.

Even with the provision, it will become a slippery slope to routine euthanasia, exactly like we do with animals. We are not animals. As I look back on all the pets in my life, I realize that the majority of those lives ended with euthanasia, and I can't honestly say for certain that none of them were for my own convenience. Our last dog was merely very old, and probably merely suffered the same arthritic pains we all feel all the time. He was on a lot of pain meds. He seemed very sad and tired of living, but I have often wondered what his answer would have been if I could have asked him if he wanted to die. He adored me, and I worry that his answer might have been that any pain was worth another minute with me, just holding his head. If we do this, we must go into it knowing that it is a slippery slope. We must resolve to prevent it from ever becoming anything like the 12 horses killed at the Kentucky Derby this year, for merely having an injury that required more money to fix than the horse was worth -- or even like the involuntary release from pain that I gave to my dog Shiner. |
