I agree completely. I think most times it is easier to die, then to watch a loved one suffer then die. I have not seen a person dying in front of me, but I did have a dog that was in my family for 14 years. This was a big issue in my family because no one wanted to put him down. He has been in pain for over 4 years and my parents just couldn't handle putting him out of his misery. He had the hardest time just standing up. I did not know what to do. If I reported it my parents would have known it was me because they knew how I felt, they would know it was me. He died a few days before christmas. I still feel guilty that I didn't do anything about it. I mean don't get me wrong, I loved that dog and I would have hated to put him down. But it would have ended his suffering years ago.
