"Strong case" for assisted dying.
its such a emotive subject.
with so many chances for abuse, or incorrect interpritation of feelings.
if a conclusive way could ever be discovered id definatley be all for it.
i watched my mum die over a period of around 9 months, from complete and great health to grasping her last agonising breathe.
no amunt of morphine could alleviate her pain, she was unable to comunicate simple thngs like needing the toilet, mostly paralysed, and in such pain she was constantly crying, weeping for weeks at a time, apart form the ten mins or so after her i.v morphinr had been adminsiterd.
was the mosy horrible scenario to watch and feel totally helpless to help the person whod done so so much for me during her lifetime.
had she chosen to die at earlier stage idve missed her short moments of clarity, where she looked me in the eye, and said she loved me so much. these clear moments last literally seconds but touched me.
i imagine her condition is no where near the most undignifying painful way to die, so cnt imagine how others in worse positions may have felt, truly just wanting the best for people they loved.
who knows?.....

I often wonder what those last few hours actually accomplish and when the syringe driver doses are increased enough to reduce distress and pain it would seem a good point to end it. The "double effect" does often hasten things and I know a lot of people are pushed on their way by a generous dose.

It was when he suddenly woke up and asked for water, his body was trying to fight what he was doing to it I do agree with the idea though following councelling that is. Surely it's best to do it the most humane way with people around you to deal with the aftermath rather than to cause yourself more trauma and mentally scare those that find you?
