Did some volunteering at some old folks homes and a hospice.
The hospice had people who were literally trapped in their own bodies. Bedridden and unable to move their arms, legs or even speak. They communicated yes/no by monotone grunting(two for yes, one for no.
Person was fully conscious and aware. Just unable to act on the outside world.
That's so horrifying. People who oppose euthanasia are sadists, extremely stupid, or both.
