Such a difficult decision for those who suffer through the dying process. I personally would not choose this because of my Catholic faith. I feel that today, with all of the pain meds to keep a patient comfortable, Hospice availablity along with Palative Care in many medical facilities, the patient can pass away without suffering, along with dignity, surrounded by their loved ones. However, I do understand that people who have different beliefs than I do have the right to make their own choices.
