When Did Hospice Become Evil?

So Sister has spoken with Doctor about Dad. He said Dad's body is breaking down, but since his mind is still sharp we can't put him on hospice. We can't just tell him, "Go home and die." That has never been my understanding of hospice. My understanding of hospice has always been that it was about focusing on quality of life and providing spiritual, emotional, and physical comfort during the dying process. I guess because Dad's mind is still sharp, he doesn't need any of those things.

Sister still isn't speaking to me. It seems that if we don't put Dad on hospice, he won't die. I will be very surprised if he lives through this hospitalization. I don't want to even think about what his death will do to Sister.
