Re: Sira890
Mac,
Morality and ethics aside, I've always found it curious that we're willing to give our furry friends a release from pain, but we won't do the same for people. I hope someone will do me the great favor of giving me a shot, when I'm on my last leg and in pain.
Thanks for reading

A sad story, Sira. What is happening to Gracie is what happens to us as we get older. The 'getting put down' part may come in a few generations.

I wish your mother peace of mind for her tough, loving decision.
It's the kind thing to do, and I hope everyone concerned lets her know that.

It's all very sad. I've been through this with our cats, all of them truly members of the family. It is always a struggle between reason and (ultimately selfish) sentiment, but compassionate reason always ought to win out, which dictates that you do not prolong their suffering...
