Physician-assisted suicide death

Dr. I clearly has some issues with humans determining how and when to complete their life. There does come a time for many severly debilitated persons with unrelievable suffering to decide to move on. Death is certain. When ongoing life becomes unbearable, why not embrace the inevitable. Right now, statistically speaking, I got 40 years or so more, and I’m on the whole pretty happy with the whole life thing. But that could all change in the blink of an eye.

So if one chooses to embrace the inevitable, why should they have to use the somewhat blunt instraments available to the public? Handguns, messy and sometimes difficult to come by; poisons, often quite unpleasant effects and inconsistently effective; other means might endanger the public (jumping off things, driving into walls etc.) Quite possibly a moribund person might be incapable of effecting one of these mechanisms. Thus the rational for simple, effective and humane means available for the dying.

That there is a symantic change suggests the group wishes to start a language war similar to abortion (i.e. ‘pro-life’ vs ‘pro-choice’. Because what real american is anti-life or anti-choice?)

By mentioning sin, I suspect his reasons stem from his religious beliefs.

As far as a suicide being a selfish act, I think it’s selfish to resort to blunt tools in your own home and leave it up to your “loved ones” to find you and to clean up the mess. What kind of person does that to their friends/family? If suicide/euthanasia for the terminally ill can be justified, surely “doing it right” can be justified as well.

euthansia is euthansia no matter how you say it,abotion is baby bashing, its not my place to tell people what they can or cannot do but lets at least call it what it is,whether you withhold treatments or actively administer or precribe meds for this purpose, it is what it is, whether you do a prepartum procedure to end life or swing it by the feet as has been done throughout history, lets not think its anything but what it is and be honest to ourselves and our society,as this harms those left behind ie relatives or parents, when they realize truely what has actually happened,so lets not mince words, it does more harm than good
