By saying that I guess you mean that you end up becoming just a number and not a name at all.

In the end we are most likely born to this life in order to die away from it as well.

Does it possibly happen in two different ways?

What happens in the meantime? Are we supposed to learn or experience something while we live? Should we make any conclusions at the final end perhaps?

What a shame for possibly living a long life. Guess what you may have learnt and experieced during the time you were alive here on this earth.

Most UK Hospices allow patients to pass away in peace and dignity. NHS hospitals do not.

This is a suck justification for allowing a patient to die in peace instead of being hooked up to machines.

One cancer patient who had suffered a heart attack and been put on the LCP had all his tubes and drips removed, including hydrating fluids, on the false grounds that he was dying.
Once his horrified family realised what was going on and took steps to guard him in order to ensure he was nourished and treated, he recovered and lived for another month.
A whole month. WOW. A cancer patient that is in intense and constant pain lived a whole month longer. We still don't know how long this patient would have lived without the tubes and fluid pumps. I assume it was a miserable month for that poor patient.

Herein lies the problem. People assume length over quality when it comes to life. If you are terminal and in excessive pain there is little that can be done for a patient than make them comfortable in the final days. Its clear that the family insisted on fighting until the end. This is a suck justification for allowing a patient to die in peace instead of being hooked up to machines.

Well, it had to happen I suppose......

.....What next? Over time, reduce the age so that those that do nothing for the benefit of society, are put to sleep?

Care? No, Welcome to "Logan's Run"
