Reply to Family Dynamics and Doctors' Emotions Drive Useless End-of-Life Care. Surveys repeatedly indicate that nearly all people would rather die peacefully at home, yet painful, long-shot treatments remain common, and efforts to reduce usage have failed by Wagamaga

My dad died of ALS. He spent his time at home, and through Hospice, he was able to choose the day he gave up living. We were able to have family and friends the day he chose to remove the trach.

I was able to care for him for 6 months before he passed, by recreating an ICU room in his home. I gave him what he gave me, love, respect, and the care he deserved.

This wasn't how it would have been in a hospital. We should have the choice when a terrible illness or disease takes our lives, slowly and painfully.
