Crew lost!
Actually, that's not necessarily true, as I can attest to from having a
close relative in the situation. He was in agony, was conscious, but couldn't communicate. "Capt. Mooron" wrote in message ... That person would have to be in a coma to not be able to respond or communicate. CM "Jonathan Ganz" wrote in message ... | Good question. I'll answer that with another one... what about | the situation where, as you say, the person hasn't specifically | expressed a wish to be euthanised, but is in obvious agony | and can not speak, and of course, there is no reasonable | outlook for recovery or improvement? Moreover, what if | that "person" is an animal that can't express its thoughts, but | is just as obviously in pain most or all of the time? | | I am not an advocate of euthanasia per se. I am an advocate | of treating people with respect, especially if they voice their | wishes. | | "Wally" wrote in message | ... | Jonathan Ganz wrote: | For me, the most humane option when one sees a loved one | suffering is to try and end the suffering of that person or other | being.
