4. I didn't answer your poll becaue none of my responses fit.
I agree with you that something should hasten death once a decision has been made to remove life support. Perhapse that morfine drip could be a little stronger than usual.

I am a little afraid of abuse of any power like that though.

It seems to me that if a law wre written to authorize euthanaisia, it would have so many restrictions and requirements, it would be useless in application.

I will tell you, there are hmmmm, accidental overmedications made in hospitals all the time and just never documented. I don't know if your sister would admit to this or not, or even if she knows, but it happens.
