> People think this is such a winning argument No - this comes from people who have been there, have discussed with the patients and made up their mind. > I've been in them. I've worked in EMS. There's not been a single patient that I've encountered where I thought for a second, "I wish I could give them the option to end their life." Not sure where this was (and EMS is emergency services, right? Not really a palliative dept) - I was a volunteer in palliative care hospitals (with my dog) and spent hours discussing with people who were very sick. many just wished for a quick end because there was simply nothing but pain for them. It was not loneliness or something - just the fact that they were not in control anymore. They wanted to have a choice. > I'd argue it's your side of the debate which could use some more reading... This is probably one reason - some read, some actually go and see.
