Do some hospials (In America) secretly put peoole to "Sleep" if they think they are better off?

After hearing some vetinarian stories, it made me wonder if this may have been the case with my grandpa. Made me question all hospitals. For humans and pets
I sure don’t know, and I’m sure some will disagree, but I was having a conversation with a friend just yesterday, in which I mentioned that dying animals get treated better than terminal patients, which are left to suffer till the very last breath. I’d rather be put to sleep, than suffer so badly, but only for us who want that option. I have worked in a nursing home and have seen so many suffer so badly to the very end. It was so sad. I feel if they had had the option to stay and suffer or take a shot to peacefully slip away and go home, they would have chosen the latter. I know I would. I don’t see that lingering on makes any sense.

They end some people's life early to harvest their organs. It's quite possible they terminate the elderly to reduce costs.
@curiosi Which is why I will never be a donor--as they can't take my organs.

@Elandra77 While you are safer, they will call your loved ones after you have passed and try and pressure them into allowing it.
@curiosi I know. I have already spoken to them. People have died just for their organs which are worth more to them than another's life.

i assure you that that scenario is highly illegal. thanks to a serial killer nurse called Charles Cullen, the laws protecting medical workers from scrutiny have been changed. before they were changed, hospitals did cover up known events, because their hands were tied to stop these individuals, and it was they who would end up liable. just in case, never leave a love one alone in a hospital. profit over humanity is still the American way.

I read about a guy who got arrested for killing 20+ life support patients at the hospital he worked at so that he could revive them and impress female nurses he worked with. most of the patients died because he couldn’t bring them back though. total human garbage

Officially, no; however, as Isadora05 mentions - numerous individual nurses have been found guilty of essentially mass murdering hundreds of patients because they felt the person would be "better off".

I've heard they'll double up on the morphine of cancer patients when they can do nothing else (because they have irreversible damage from the chemo) especially if their insurance and savings are depleted.

I think only psychos do that or there wouldn't be people legitimately argueing for legal euthanasia.
Like killing them? Probably. Or you mean actually putting them to sleep?
They have to have consent.

Anything is possible.
