Has anyone taken a pet to their vet recently, and was told that their pet would need to be put to sleep? Why then, do you think, we do so much less in this country for terminally ill patients?

I'd like to know if you think that this is a moral, or spiritual decision.

What makes me ask this question, is that I have viewed life support removed from people who are completely aware of what is going on. They were allowed to die, suffering.

In a case where the patient is alert and aware, would it not be kinder to place this person into a medically induced coma before removing life support?

Please give me your views and, I will be sure to check back often.
