Re: Assisted Death
Margaret, I have witnessed effective pain relief, and palliative care being given......and with compassion and dignity too.(anyone who has used or witnessed the services of the hospice would attest to this.....I have even seen similar care being given on my own ward....helped by the skills of the pain control and palliative care nurses who came out from the hospice)
But not everyone wants to go down that route.......especially because it relies on the loss of independence......and for some people this is untenable
