There's a big difference between being chronically ill and the actual dying process. The final process can be quite manageable with the right amounts of Morph and Midazolam, it can be an amost a spiritual experience (and if you weren't spiritual before the Morph, you certainly will be after).

I wouldn't want to wish a long and undignified illness from which the only release is death, on any-one.
