Why does anyone have the right to dismiss another person’s dying wish? It’s cruel.

Nobody suffers in pain (a morphine dose is increased to cope, right up to the point where it can hinder breathing already),

Unfortunately, that's pie in the sky.

Nonsense. My husband has just returned home after 3 weeks in hospital after a nasty fall.
If the wonderful staff were unable to keep on top of the pain of two broken ankles, two fractured vertebrae, a broken nose and broken ribs, how on earth would you expect them to cope with the horrendous pain of final stage cancer?

Are you disagreeing with me, or with FranP?
