Death with dignity... we should be just as humane with people as we are with our pets.

I am glad for you, that you've never had to watch someone die slow and ugly over many days. I have. It's the worst thing I've ever experienced.

Beg whatever gods you believe in that you never know what it's like to smell a loved one rotting while they slowly drown in their own fluids. That you don't watch their fingers blacken. That you're never there for those moments of confused semi-lucidity when they beg for help that isn't possible.

It is impossible to experience that horror without feeling a sort of shame that you're letting it happen. You wouldn't inflict it on a stranger's dog. You'd shoot it because that would be kindness.

It was my brother's wife in my case. He was only twenty seven when her organs went into failure.
