My mother-in-law spent her last 3 months blind, bed-ridden and in pain from bed sores. She stopped taking any medication in the hope it would end things and perhaps eventually it did...but she hung on for two months after making that decision. I don't think she "enjoyed" her time.
I don't know who you're quoting...but who cares what they would do? Every single person deserves the dignity of being allowed to decide for themselves.
Mini awe I'm sorry :hugs:
I've heard too many stories of people who had to watch loved ones suffer slow painful deaths to ever be against the right to die.
