I saw both of my parents die from cancer. My father died from pancreatic cancer, slowly suffocating while fully conscious. You could see the terror in his eyes as he struggled to take one more breath. My mother died after four years of being completely disabled due to paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration, again slowly suffocating to death. I think it is barbaric that we let people go through this when there are alternatives. What's the point of living a few more days so you can go through a horrible agony?

This is changing, however slowly.
