Fortunately, doctors can still fiddle around the edges. My 96 year old grandmother went into the hospital last Thursday. After some tests it was concluded she would have a couple more months with rehab or maybe a couple weeks without. We decided to just have her loaded up with morphine and she passed on Sunday surrounded by her children. The morphine didn't kill her, her heart was mush, but it likely knocked some time and suffering off the end. It's unfortunate that we dont all get to die so gracefully. I dont forsee euthanasia ever being legal in the US given the absurd response to medicare requiring just basic end of life planning with a doctor.
