Hospice allows you to continue to live, comfortably, for the last days or months, sometimes years, of your life. They give you pain medication, so that you are comfortable. Your family can still see you and be with you. You can still live and spend time with your loved ones. In some cases, euthanasia still happens. In the state of Oregon (USA), assisted suicide is completely legal.
