Dogs do not have many advantages over people, but one of them is extremely important: euthanasia is not forbidden by law in their case; animals have the right to a merciful death.

This is so true. If you don't put down your pet you're being cruel, if you put down Granny, you're a murderer.
It's really ridiculous. We sit and watch our loved ones suffer, or slooooooly drift into god knows what.several of my oldies have complained at the injustice of this.
our fear of death has turned us into a society or torturers.

Ugg, that's just awful. Let them drift off.worse than that, they will make 20 minute 'heroic' resuscitations on those who are already dying or who have lost all quality of life, robbing them of a peaceful death.
it makes me fume.

CPR is only done on dead people, just saying...
it being hard isn't reason enough to deny everyone, in every case.I'm not going to write a 10,000 word essay on the incredibly complex legal and moral issues that rear their ugly head when one treads this ground. Suffice it to say that things can get very murky; this is not simple stuff.
Noor! are you assuming that i'm window shopping for attractive, muscular, subby boys? that I would alleviate both frustration and boredom by finding someone to humour me and pander to my very fickle whim?? shame on you!
...I may get bored of this. I may not.
I believe in death with dignity and that people should have a choice of being resuscitated.
If you do not execute an "Advance Directive," there will be no choice— healthcare providers are legally and morally duty-bound to resuscitate you (if you are incapacitated and incapable of expressing your wishes).

I suspect that, even in a hospice, the paperwork is required.

Every U.S. citizen should execute an "Advance Directive" ( also known as a living will, personal directive or advance decision— a legal document in which a person specifies what actions should be taken for their healthcare if they are no longer able to make decisions for themselves because of illness or incapacity. In the U.S. it has a legal status in itself ) specifying their wishes. Not only does this make their intentions and desires for end-of-life healthcare explicit, it makes decisions for their family members/caregivers immeasurably easier and provides the necessary legal "cover" for healthcare providers who are rightfully concerned about the potential for the legal consequences of their actions.
