It is stupid
The choice should be given. Some people don't want to die - that's fine. But to force people to live in agony is plain cruel, on both them and their families.

My grandfather is slowly dieing of cancer, although he doesn't show it. One of the hardest thing he's had to do was ask us, when the time comes for him to be moved to hospital, is to help him with certain drugs so he can go in peace and with his family around. This has, unfortunatly caused a big rift between my dad and one of my uncles because they don't want him to go like that. We had a good long talk about it - he's 87, happy with his life and doesn't want to cause my grandmother any more pain then she has to go through. It's really a choice that should be given to people who wants it.

I don't understand people who want to keep someone alive
against their wishes. I am sorry for the pain you and your family are going through. I do hope someone is able to listen to your grandfather's wishes.
