re: #72 HoosierHoops

I’d rather die in comfort at home a little earlier, than in pain, hooked up to a machine.

That is a tad simplistic isn’t it? When my mom died of cancer she passed in hospice.. My dad simply could not take care of her properly at home and a nurse visiting once a day wasn’t going to help that much…
Thank God for the Counseling the family receives from heath care professionals.

I agree, it is, and God bless the hospice workers. Here’s the 60 minutes story on the issue, and it’s a eye opener. End of life care was once a bipartisan issue, but the far right messed that up.

60 minutes.
