I agree with everything you said and you really have made a great statement concerning the process of death, which I have witnessed several times. I think we were questioning whether morphine could be given in high enough doses to speed up death as opposed to being therapeutic to ease the pain and anxiety during the transition from life to death. But this is really a great comment on the process. My daughter has worked hospice for over 10 years and we have had many good discussions on the process of death and medications used...

My hardest was the death of my beautiful 39 year old sister who died of breast cancer in '92. She looked like the worst concentration camp inmate you could ever imagine...that was hard.

I have seen at least 10 births and I have to say those are usually more joyous occasions. God bless you...have a great day...
