This is a common subject at work since we have a pain management unit and theref
ore we have lots of trashed people.
I don't think anybody has objections towards putting people out of their missery
, but they have objections about... external interference.
This is fact: a lot of medical decisions are forced on people these days. They b
ing you a grandpa and you can tell it is the nephew and son and aunt calling all
the shots and if grandpa does not want to do something they press and press and
press until he yields.
Professionals are pissed off because they are getting euthanasia requests for no
thing burguers and they need to waste half an hour telling people and their rela
tives they are not signing for an euthanasia over an sprained ankle. Specially b
ecause that is half an hour they could be devoting to people who actually needs
medical services.
Opposite is also true, there are lots of relatives pressing in order to have gra
ndma subsists in a morphine sustained zombie state that everybody else knows is
inhuman.
