I have made the choice to put many animals to sleep. It's the kindest thing you can do for them. I also believe it is the kindest, most loving and unselfish thing you can do for a human also. Especially people who are terminal and in so much pain and have no quality of life. And if it is by their choice who are we(general we) or the government to say they can't end their misery?

In 2002, my Pa had a stroke, which threw him into Alzhiemers really bad and he didn't have any control over his right side. Then he started to aspirate on everything that went into his mouth. His flapper quit working and everything was going into his lungs. He's always said he didn't want to linger like his brothers did and not know he was even in the world for 20 yrs. They offered a feeding tube and we declined and we decided to pretty basically let him starve. Sounds cruel, but it was the only legal way to put him out of his misery.

I like many of you, have watched friends and family go down hill and the only comfort they had was morphine and hospice. Praise God for those folks, I don't think I could be around people day in and day out that I knew were terminal and keep my own sanity. So yes I believe in what Dr K does and no I have seen the documentary.
