The problem to be solved in this case is unnecessary distress and pain about one's inevitable death.

  And how do you solve that

    One common solution is the hospice system. There's no silver bullet for any of this and it's a bit irksome see so many comments treating this like a "5 whys" exercise

      And what is hospice but pumping someone full of morphine and ativan until they die?

      I can tell you from first hand experience that while the hospice system is certainly better than nothing and has extremely helpful and useful aspects, it's also extremely expensive where i live and the only "spiritual" assistance available is through one specific church, as far as i was aware. Sure, she had a moderately comfy bed and assistants that came to drain her bags and talk but she was still terrified and constantly drugged up to keep from freaking out. Any tool that has even a chance of helping retain sanity and humanity in such a trial is worth researching and communicating. These psychedelic drugs provide a service that simply cannot be achieved with any hospice system, anywhere in the world, ever. To actively advocate against the dying beings allowed to feel peace is inhuman, incomprehensible, and if i weren't certain it was pure naivety, evil. Psychedelics bring peace to the dying. What harm is that? That's what you're arguing against
