And that's just it. Up to now, you could have someone screaming in agony from pain (GF is a hospice nurse so I hear about this kind of thing a lot actually) but the minute they do something to end it, their beneficiaries get screwed. The ins. cos. will automatically deny all claims because it was a suicide, so the patient and all their relatives get to sit around and watch as the person gets pumped full of Adivan and morphine and suffers horribly for weeks or months. All because our politicians have written the laws to suck up to holy-rollers and insurance company executives.
As said above, I'm glad this is starting to become a foreground issue and that common sense is finally starting to take hold.
