<< A doctor's duty is to get her out of her despondency, not snuff her out. >> I agree with you on this. There should be controls. Even with controls, I will admit that our system doesn't always work well. But, someone who is at death's door should be allowed their wish of a kind and compassionate exit. Are you totally opposed to this? << Mr. Barry, I hope when you're an old geezer laying back in a hospital bed and a figure appears in the doorway, you don't have to wonder if that person is there to help you or to kill you. >> We have to worry about this today, whether young or old, because of how badly our government has messed up our health system. OTOH, I hope that by the time either I or you are ready for our trip to Heaven, someone is there to help open the door for us.
