When a pet gets sick or hurt and is living a life in pain without hope of recovery, we euthenize them. Only WA and OR have "Death with Dignity" laws for the terminally ill.
I held the hand of a friend of mine who is terminally ill with cancer and in tremendous amounts of pain...but worse she hates that she's a burden and seeing the emotional toll that is put on her family. She wants to end her life...she wants out of the suffering.
I've said it many times, if I'm ever in the same position I'm gonna be vaping a whole lot of "medical marijuana" and checking out when the pain gets more then I care to live with. Thank you WA State!
