Your experience shows just how low doctors can go. First of all, there are plenty of pain medications out there that could have relieved your relative's suffering. Why didn't the doctor deal with it? Second of all, the doctor obviously ordered the resusciation in spite of the DNR order because he wanted more money. You think that there aren't doctors out there that won't 'off' someone if the money is right? Nah, you can't be that naive.

A local docotr was recently sent to prison for indiscriminately prescribing oxycontin to get patients hooked on it and continually needing his services.

Doctors are human, but I no more believe that doctors are waiting to rake in big bucks in assisted suicide than I believe that cops wait in excitment for an opportunity to 'off' a suspect at the most meager provocation. It happens, but it is the exception.

I'd much prefer to take a final dose of medication at my time of choosing than endure the pain and wasting away that chronic illnesses often bring. Let me and my family prepare and decide when the time is right.

For those who would murder for profit, the law doesn't stop that now for those truly motivated.
