        He can barely breathe. He's taken all steps to prolong his life but he's basically suffocating. You'd have him suffer?

        He didn't say "turn off the machine", he said "euthanasia".

        I see. So it's better to just let him suffocate over a period of days then. Because that's what was happening.

        There are always choices other than murder/suicide.

        the fucking hubris in telling a dying man that “there’s always another way?” That’s boss-level self righteous bullshit.

        Dying is awful. My heart aches for him and his family regardless. But there is never justification for murder or suicide. Never.

        again, you sound like you’ve never had to watch a loved one waste away slowly and painfully with zero chance of recovery.
