I understand. Your choice, but that's an easy one to make
when you're not in pain... for example, I've had experience
with someone who had two choices.. either be conscious
and screaming or unconscious from the meds. With the latter
choice, you can go for a while that way, but then the body
tends to deteriorate pretty quickly. Not much of a choice.
Also, at one point, they couldn't give him more pain meds,
because they were afraid it would kill him.

Not from what I've seen. It's easy to say pain is a now concept.
It's another to either be in the now for weeks/months on end or
watch someone wither away who is.

My point was that medical science advances. Given that, I would choose
pain
over oblivion.
