Who says these people are suffering, there are many drugs to make patients comfortable. What the hell these so called workers in the caring profession are thinking when they can dictate when people die.

It is beyond contempt considering people pay all their lives for a service only to get kicked in the teeth at the end by some stranger supposedly their to maintain life.

As said in the article there are markers that a body is entering the final stage of life, everything begins to shut down...how can that be reversed or prolonged without causing more suffering, what person in a caring profession wants that?Ethically it's the right thing to do, but getting that message across to relatives will be hard.
