Shortens life - drivers can contain a cocktail of drugs twice /three times what you believe and before a blink of an eye your loved ones are gone. This happens even whebnt hay are free of pain, and just bed ridden I have first hand experience. I am not lying, I wanted a peaceful and dignified death for my father when the time arrived - but these people decide and you have no say in the matter. Be sure you are ready before accepting pallitive care!!! It is wonderful if you and love one are ready

Thank you very much, my grandma is now 95 years old and she's fine!
I hope she keeps on to be fine for a long time.
We are leaving in South in France, she continues to walk in Pau in the Allées de Morlàas (1,5 kms long) and sometimes on the Coteaux de Jurançon (fine wineyards;-)).
Thanks for posting.
