Having had other friends die of terminal illnesses, I know that Felos has his cause and effect mixed up. You stop eating because your body is dying. You don't stop eating to make your body die.
And this whole Hospice thing has me really riled up. My mother wasn't accepted into Hospice until the day before she died!!! The same thing happend to a woman I worked with, her husband wasn't admitted either until the day before he died. How can you have a non-terminally ill person living at a Hospice for 2 years!!
And finally, my best friend is a social worker who spent many years working at one of the top geriatric hospitals in the country, and she assisted 100's of patients in doing up living wills. My father is a very healthy 94 but she was telling us that he should get a living will because , at least here in Connecticut, I would not be allowed to make any life and death decisions for him because as the only child, I would have a financial benefit he died!!!
So how can a man, who would have obvious financial and personal gain, be allowed to kill his non-terminally ill wife, who is living in a hospice!!! How can anyone with a minimally functioning brain not see the evil and illegality in this!!!
Sorry to be preaching to choir here I've just had these thoughts in my head ever since finding out about this case. And November has been a bad month ever since my mother died.
