Would you rather have a beloved person with chronic and/or terminal mortal pain:
4% be opiated to drool point
69% be medicated but alert
4% deny meds. Suck it up!
22% other: see comment

I agree with that 100%. I'm asking about your feelings, though. But yes, an adult human with the capacity must have ownership of their care!
Me too. I phrased it poorly but people got the gist ;-) Every adult deserves choice over his or her care and the right to change your mind!

Oh NO! Are you the Suck it Up one? You're forgiven. I just don't have a way to reset your vote! :)
Replying to @axel
Haha - it's okay Alex - I'll factor that in to the results. "Minus one vote on the Suck it Up answer" - there we go, all fixed.

I do too.

For a loved one: their choice. For me... sometimes I just wanna die. I selected option 2 but haven't found medication that can do...

Whatever they want - if were me, medicated but alert.

Loved one? I would want them to have whatever condition they'd prefer. Myself, opiate drool crust on my chin! 😂😂😂

Support the decision made by the person. Everyone has different tolerance levels for pain. Respect the other person's needs.
