As Rae and Cox point out, “Physicians have at their disposal today the means to adequately control the pain of virtually every patient who is terminally ill. . . . Hospices specialize in the art of pain control particularly for the terminally ill. Far too many people die in hospitals, pursuing aggressive care, when they could be spending their last days with their pain under control, their depression (from being terminally ill) being treated, and not subject to expensive and burdensome aggressive medical technology.”
