  To me it’s unethical to let someone suffer until they finally pass.

    That’s a false dichotomy.

    The principle of double effect allows one to relieve one’s suffering with treatments having high mortality rates.

      As a disabled person who does not make enough money to exist, this is how I see it for social programs as well. Keep the sick and injured in a constant state of anxiety and neediness until they finally break and ask for maid. It’s easier to get maid than it is to be respected as a human being.
