Back in May we approached this subject with relation to dementia but we never began a separate thread.
I'd really be interested in hearing people's thoughts.
I cannot for the life of me understand why we treat human beings in a far less humane fashion than we would a domestic cat or even a farm animal.
The insistence on keeping people breathing when there is no prospect of improvement in their outlook is causing horrendous bed blocking in the NHS and daily battles between local authorities and the NHS.
Why don't we consider the alternatives? Why are we insistent on having our loved ones around even just to watch them humiliated and suffering?
Not an easy subject I appreciate but then difficult discussions are far more interesting and informative than those that are completely polarized before they even begin.
I'd like to see the option myself. I cannot understand why I am not allowed to have it.
