Dying with Dignity

IN response to Brent Wright (The Examiner, September 19). Firstly, my heart goes out to you your late father, your mum and family for the needless suffering. Secondly, anyone who cares or has an ounce of humanity would not want to see anyone suffering. I am sure many die alone this way instead of with family surrounded by love and with dignity. A person is born with solely their own mind and body and should have to right to make whatever choice is right for them and their loved ones. The saddest thing is in this world they feel it is inhumane for an animal to suffer (which it is) but a human being  is not given the same rights of end to suffering.   I support dying with dignity, the only reason I can think of that this is not in practice is the medical costs would be stopped and no one can gain financially with cruel, senseless ongoing treatment that has no hope of ending in a healthy life.
