re: #52 avanti

In the real world, statistics show that a big percentage of heath care goes to extend life days or weeks in the terminally ill. Many times those days are spent in the hospital hooked up to machines. It’s the reason I supported voluntary end of life counseling. I’ve written down my wishes in the event I would need it and I choose hospice care at home over extraordinary efforts to keep me alive a few days longer in intensive care.
Heath insurers already make those kinds of decisions every day.As medical science advances, it’ll be possible to keep you alive on a machine well beyond when you had any real quality of life left. I’d rather die in comfort at home a little earlier, than in pain, hooked up to a machine.

I up dinged you because I understand.
However I had my Mother die in my home and believe me it would have been easier on me and her if she had died in a hospital. So I will pick hospital if I have any say in it.
