All people on this earth are entitled to decide how they will pass into the next realm when it is clear there is no other alternative. Keeping someone alive just because you can doesn't make it right! Doctors/Governments/Pharmacy have no business telling us how to die, they spend too much time already telling us how to live! If I was in Jill's situation, I would want the same... God Bless her and let her suffer less, not more.
Great couple, but they shouldn't have been asked to make decisions that weren't theirs to make; these should have been made by the doctors, who clearly recognised the futility of CPR and ventilation, rather than burdening Phil. A shame too, that this vital bit of Advance Care Planning was instigated by a private company and not Jill's GP or respiratory physician, who would have the benefit of a therapeutic relationship with her. Hope it all goes/went well.
