This argument has been going on a very long time. Long ago I
read a report on it, and it said there is no such thing as pain
that can't be controlled. They gave England as an example, where
the question didn't even come up.
You see, in England they can give heroin to patients in extreme
pain. That is a big difference.
I don't know if it's true that there is no such thing as pain
that can't be alleviated, but I do know there is pain that can
be alleviated, but the drugs that do it are either illegal, or
so controlled you can't give them enough.
Then there's the fear of making terminal patients drug addicts.
The other fear is, the drugs will shorten the patient's life.
Chose, 6 weeks of extreme pain, or 4 weeks free from pain. Not hard by my thinking.

An anacelephic baby doesn't live long and doesn't suffer.

We give morphine to those we deem in need. And we justify
it on the same grounds as do those in England who give
heroin to patients.

It is not just terminal patients who are drug addicts.
The other fear is, the drugs will shorten the patient's life.
Yeah. That's like saying pot will stunt your growth.
Nobody on painkillers/heroin is going to believe that.

Hit me, man! Hit me! I wanna feel good hoo ha!
In theory, the same could be done with humans. Would
cloning humans for body parts be ethical? I doubt it.
Which is why we should clone neandertals instead.

Except that Heroin is not legal here, yet, from what I have
read, much more effective.

Yeah, but worrying about making terminal patients into drug
addicts is terminal stupidity.

Any patient dying in agony might consider that a blessing.

SMACK! Now behave yourself.

No, repubicans will do just as well.

I'm not sure anybody would want any of John Boehner's
body parts. I mean, the guy does smoke like a chimney ...
