That has to be an expensive way to meet your demise, I would think. Three months it took. Three months of constant care and monitoring. I presume this was done in a hospice. Most are not cheap. Maybe some of the costs would be covered under certain insurance plans. I do not judge those who do this. It is their life and their family to be considered, not mine.
My mom died from ALS and chose to stay at her home with her family until she could pass away on her terms. Her doctor prescribed her sedatives. He was very careful in choosing his words on dosage. He explained to my mom that with a compromised pulmonary system that a few too many of the sedatives would halt her breathing. He made sure she understood that.
Ones final exit is a very private matter. Dragging it up and down the media streets for public policy debates is not where the matter belongs.
He died at home. He was a county sheriff so I assume the county paid for it. Of course he had hospice care.
I’d do it if the alternative was to lie in bed gasping for air 24 hours a day.
My brother was put in a coma and died within the hour. I’ve always wondered about that one.
