may he rest in peace. So sad that we do not make these end of life stages less stressful. Hospice and respecting folks' wishes as to ending the pain. Not everyone wants to be hooked up to machines and dragged along painfully to the bitter end. We need to respect wishes on this and pass laws that allow mercy (PAS), imo.
