Most of the rest of states use hospice as a way to kill people with morphine. Basically they give the patient as much as they want, and usually stops their heart.

Naturally, medically assisted suicide is illegal in most states. But its wink wink nudge nudge "pain management".

I hear you - as usual, people will do what they need to do in the way they can.

Personally, I wish we collectively recognized that this ‘pain management’ is a disservice to all dealing with those situations, much like handing out medical marihuana cards to recreational users was for actual patients, or women addressing family planning issues in some less than acceptable settings. Alas…
