I voted
as it is a per person bases...
What would one call assisted suicide, is the person of right mind, and can they really make the right descion...
I think back to cases of people in car accidents, for the first while they may be willing to die, but should one help them??? Also in cases of finding out one has cancer.... I know a woman who lived 35 years after first cancer bout and had 7 children, she lost both breasts, one at a time two years between, lost her one leg in three sepearte operations, other leg went to the knee, then she was three years in remission, then had bowl cancer, and a brain tumour was operated on and survived three more births and 15 years then had skin cancer and last child, then a year later had to have tubes and ovaries removed and part of stomach, she lived 10 more years free of cancer and then got more bowl cancer and her lungs.... she held her first great-grandchild and 10 grandchildren.... she died amazing in her sleep.... heart attack....
So, I am really
in this case.... I worry that hubbies that want to get rid of their wives that are sick would say they were just assisting in their suicide also parents with children that are terminally ill...
Just really concerned like most other things in life that it could be taken wrong or to the extreme....
I do however agree that feeding tubes should not be forced on a patient that is dying to prolong their life.... sometimes when it gets to that point I feel an extra shot of morphine would be better.... let them die in peace and with a little dignity....
I know I would not want to live in a veggitive state also, so I hope that my man would be caring enough to help me say goodbye if ever there was a time that I could not speak for myself...
That is why I am so
