Miracle do happens but not always. It is cruel to talk about euthanasia. But for most terminal disease patient, prolonging life is like living hell. Sometime human being don't want to let go, it is matter of time the patient body and soul being "wear out". Sometime the patient relative didn't realize the doctor also suffering : the incapability to cure but ability to prolong suffering. While on economy point of view, it is ironic that a well-plan national health care system will prolong the patient life with lots of pain killing practice. While for country with poor health care system, the patient medical condition can destroy the whole family. I will rather opts for the alternative : Give time limited sustaining medication to the patient and dispatch them out of the hospital to enjoy the world. It is better than let the patient die inside the hospital. IMHO : medical are suppose to save life, not prolong suffering. Miracle do happens but not always. It is cruel to talk about euthanasia.
