sophisticated that the period of suffering can be
extended beyond the limit of human endurance.
What's the point of allowing someone a few more
months or days or hours of so-called life when
death is inevitable? There's no point. In fact,

more humane to honor that request than to deny it.
There is no way we are going to come to grips with
this problem until we ...
