Been there, done that...I have had the experience of watching someone waste away, even had them ask me to provide them a length of rope to end their misery. At the risk of trivializing this issue.. may I say this.. Lets say you had a horse that worked tirelessly for years, plowing fields, hauling wagons, etc. Now lets say the horse is too old and feeble to enable it to do the very things it was born to do.. Like us, it has lived a long and useful life.. so is it worth the cost to feed it anymore, the time to make its last days more comfortable? Chances are the horse doesn't give a damn, it's tired and lived a useful life, and as a sentient being is ok with the life it's led, and is ready for eternal peace? Who are we to deny them everlasting peace? Ok so people are not horses, and horses are not people, but why should we deny anyone of their right to rest after a long and fulfilling life? Apologies to Stam, as I am sure this may have brought a tear to his eye.Willllbuuuurrrrr!!!!!
