    My Baba has been in the hospital for a little over 5 weeks now with lung cancer.  I had gone and seen her on a sunday and she was up and talking, not alot but she was still talking and was able to sit up and eat her supper.  By monday evening she was not eating or drinking or barely talking.  My mom said they are giving her morphine every two hours and has not woke up know for over 24 hours.  What form of quality of life is this it is like she is dead already, maybe morphine does take away some of the pain but she does'nt know where she is and keeps screaming out for help.  If you ask me Morphine has made my Baba into a vegetable.
