Yes indeed. This happened several years ago, but still relevant....my cousin had breast cancer that metasticized to her bones. She was on a controlled morphine drip. She was terminal. The bloody doc took the drip away because he was afraid she was abusing it and might become addicted. She died in horrible agony. I, too, worry for the legitimate users who would suffer every day without a pharmaceutical aid. Hmmmm...maybe this is planned - a lot of countries are allowing voluntary euthanasia. I would imagine that some would opt for this, if the pain became unbearable. A form of population control?...weeding out the old and useless cripples sucking precious resources? I don't mean this derogatorily...I am one of those old cripples with a knee awaiting replacement.
