I also know this happens...for it happened in my Family. A loved one was dying of emphysema and was in great pain. The Doctor stated that more morphine would cause this person to have even more difficulty breathing and may cause death. NO ONE wanted this person to suffer anymore. Of course the decision was to alleviate the pain... thus the consequence of that was death.

For those of you who can't accept that it is better to die than to suffer in pain... God be with you when you don't have any other choices left and you are in agony.

Why are people so afraid to die? We all will do it someday... just let me die with dignity!!
