Euthanasia.
This is a subject that is not too nice to talk about but it applys to us all. Euthanasia, What is wrong with giving the pills to a dyeing person to decide for themselves what they want to do. Giving them a right to choose. Would god have given us the powerful drugs to kill pain if we were not able to use them. Given the opportunity many will choose not to do anything but it would be a comfort to them to know that they can.
If only the Doctor and the patiant knows about this how can anyone else force anyone to do anything. The person would have all the tests twice over to double check that what they were suffering was terminal if the suffering was to be such as they would lose all ability to do any thing but suffer they could be asked then by the GP. in private if they wish to take home the few pills that would end this, they can say yes or know and will be told when is the right time. Leaving it in the patiance hands.
