My Father was ate up with a painful cancer in a veterans hospital. He pleaded with me to kill him! I told him I couldn't do that. He looked me right in the eye and told me that he would never allow me to suffer like he was. I hate the fact to this day that there was no legal way to put him at rest from that pain! Until you've been in that situation, it's inconceivable that you can even have an opinion. Here I am, saying that to you, Kathleen and not knowing your own experiences But I regret to this day that I didn't help my Father. At least I'd still be getting three hots and a cot!
