This is one of the things that while it’s correct most people react very emotionally to the idea and for a politician it’s better never to talk about it. What they are talking about is very similar to euthanasia that is legal and accepted in many countries. If a patient has no chance of survival it doesn’t make much sense to spend a lot of money in prolonging his life for couple of days. What often happens is that people spend the last days so their lives in intensive care, in coma and on a ventilator. It just prolongs suffering as there is no chance for improvement. What he’s getting wrong is the solution. Instead of restricting care they should implement robust system of DNRs/life testaments. Everyone should decide what type of care they want to receive, doctors should be legally obligated to follow those directions and it should not be possible to override it by family members. A lot of people would still be against it because death is a very emotional topic but at least it doesn’t sound evil.
