After a long diagnosis period where she is bedridden The Doctor discovers she has an extremely rare terminal condition that is currently incurable. Doctors believe with treatment she could potentially live for anywhere between a few months to several years in a degenerative state of chronic pain and intense physical/cognitive deterioration kept alive by a cocktail of drugs and daily medical treatments as her body slowly falls apart. Without treatment she will only live a few weeks. But she doesn't want that. She says the pain felt like being smacked around by wrecking ball and the drugs only takes the edge off it. She despises being uselessly stuck in bed unable to do anything, the incredible pain and the idea of mental decay. The concept that this only going to get worse and a lot worse at that terrifies her. Feeling completely unhappy she instead wants to unburden herself from this world and just die if this is what life entails. The doctors encourage you to ignore her and have the treatments. Fight for as long as you can. Who knows what the future holds? Your insurance covers the treatments. As a minor her views are considered utterly irrelevant legally and the decision of how to proceed is up to you. One of the hardest questions there is too answer and sadly some people are having to make it. What would you do?

MaddenDude-- 12/10/20 6:53:00 AM #14:	This is a poorly designed topic. We literally see these all the time at the hospital. As long as they aren't currently on life support they can go hospice. In this situation I'd agree to home hospice and just have her at home with a bunch of pain and anxiety meds and enjoy the remaining time we have with family. This is not euthanasia. Euthanasia in this case would be actively giving her something that would kill her now.

ScazarMeltex 12/10/20 9:56:16 AM #25:	I've watched two of my family waste away in hospital beds, long past the point of having any quality of life. Especially my Grandma. She had Parkinson's so bad to the point that she could not physically move or speak. Her body was contorted into the most ungodly uncomfortable position I could imagine and she just laid there unable to communicate or move. It was heart wrenching every time I saw her.
