Nutrition, eating, and serious illness

I can't tell you how many idiot aides I've caught, whispering "Those awful doctors and nurses want to torture you. Here, let me give you some water", undermining the process and prolonging the whole business of dying.
I have had 2 family members commit suicide because there was no way out other than that. They were very ill. It kills me to think that they had to do this. It was either this or a very slow death that some wanted to prolong. It still haunts me how they died and that our society let them commit suicide

I'm so sorry. Perhaps some day we may extend the same courtesy to humans as we do to our pets.

If you are talking about the elderly, they don't want to live if it reduces the quality of life . It really sucks getting old and losing your mind and mobility. Do you know people who really want to live like this....no you don't.

Thank you. I don't think we will though. I just don't get it.

Sarah Palin deserves an apology, which she will NEVER get from the scumbag libturds...
Utter nonsense. You should try pulling your head out of the sand and living in reality for a while.

I can't wait until one of our resident LWNJ's mother or father will be subjected to a death panel decision to pull the plug and "take the pill". Will they still love obama the next morning?
That's nothing, just wait until folks are targeted for their political affiliations with indefinite delays for treatment, intentional misdiagnosis...like the IRS targeted O's adversaries... oh there are so many possibilities.

Nah, that could never happen either, right?
