   最怕那時候連去拿pill的力量都沒有。

I don't really concern my own pain (of course no pain is a bonus), but I don't want my family seeing I suffer in pain and make them more pain and sad. Watching loved ones in pain is more painful.

To me that thought is scary that someone "deserve" the help if he/she will have contribution later on (i.e. valuable to the society or simply put it has 有利用價值), and someone without value should not have the resources for help? 佢哋後生嗰時都有交稅個喎。

Grandpa lingered a few months before he died. Although I wasn’t in HK at that time, my family members all suffered. But grandma died peacefully in her sleep, I hope I can die in my sleep too.

That's so easy.
Just get a few pills from the doctor.

I might think about it if there’s no other way to stop suffering/pain, but the doctor has to guarantee that it’ll end my life (just a wild thought).

somewhereintime, sorry to hear about your in-law, I hope he’s not suffering badly.

I should start planning for my end-of-life expenses, hope that it's still affordable when it’s my turn to go.

Actually he is doing fine, eating a lot, well, for a 85 yr old man.
3 meals from Hospice, plus   I cook congee for him everyday,
just  labour of love , Double  Beef Broth with beet, kidney bean and herbal
Then 10 ml.  Bird's nest,
Chinese medication included Korean Ginseng and Conyceps  $90 a daily dose
So with the expense at the Hospice, it costs $6,000 a month.
He wants to buy an electric scooter and is anticipating to go home.
Of course no one tells him where exactly he is staying at, he thinks he is
in rehab.When my uncle passed away, he finished supper at 9:00 pm, got a stroke and
drifted to sleep at dinner table, his family sent him to VGH, he left the world
before midnite, with a smile on his face.
That is very fortunate, no suffering at all.
Hey, don't worry about yourself, you have long way to go, unlike me.

Those who disagree with my view are so remotely detached to the rising cost of healthcare in developed countries.

Let me give you three choices:

1) put 100 kids out of school
2) keep a 70 years old guy who has terminal cancer alive for 3 more months
3) save 5000 african children from starvation

I haven't done the math but I think all 3 choices have the same cost

you can only pick 1, which one would you pick?

I hate people who think everybody deserves a piece of the pie when there's only so much resource in this world

The world has been in free fall in the last 20 years or so because so many people living in the happy land are so oblivious to the problems in this world.
