Incredibly so
My uncle Klaus died last year from long term bowel cancer. By the time he died it had been in his bones for nearly six months and he was in agony every, single, day. He asked to be given an overdose of morpheine but no one would. So instead he spent his last months as a shell of his former self, unresponsive and not quite all there.

Stupid ethical laws. he could have been saved so much pain and indignity.
