Don't know about that, Ron-- but there's a big difference between
euthanasia and palliative care, as practiced in Hospices for example.
Actually, there really IS a need for doctors to learn how to relieve
needless end of life suffering, as those who saw the Bill Moyers' PBS
series,"On Our Own Terms" can recall.   But golly--at present I really
really hate to say anything "nice" about Senator B.  !!!!!
