Then you had better start lobbying for a change in the laws. You cannot deliberately take a person out no matter how dire their circumstances.

Doctors can bend the law by using a bit too much morphine at times, but their license is in jeopardy.

There does exist a "DNR" which allows a doctor to avoid any treatment to prevent death, but, if the patient will continue to exist on their own............nothing legally can be done about it.
