Are yall sure Adams was not being sarcastic?
If he was being sarcastic then he better set the record strait soon or else he’ll lose a few fans.
In it he specifically said this: "...I don't want anyone to misconstrue this post as satire or exaggeration. So I'll reiterate. If you have acted, or plan to act, in a way that keeps doctor-assisted suicide illegal, I see you as an accomplice in torturing my father, and perhaps me as well someday. I want you to die a painful death, and soon. And I'd be happy to tell you the same thing to your face..."
He is unhinged, in my opinion. It may be grief, it may be rage, it may be anything, but I believe some part of his mind has crossed a line. I don't know squat about him, so I don't know anything other than his satire and sarcasm in his professional work. If this is his normal viewpoint (maybe verified from looking at his non-cartoon opinions he may have expressed in his blog or in interviews) I would say he needs professional help. If it is not, he is overcome with grief.
In either case, he is not in a healthy state of mind...it sounds extremely corrosive to me. Is this the kind of viewpoint he has advocated his entire life, or is it something he may look back months from now and regret writing?
I bought a book written my him years ago assuming it would be humerus, it wasn’t. This man has a bitter core that is bent hard to the left.
He is capable of being sarcastic but his hate for the right is real.
Yes!
It is quite clear he is serious.
What Scott unwittingly exposes is HIS discomfort with his father’s suffering.
It is HIS OWN DISCOMFORT HE SEEKS TO TERMINATE.
Did his father ever express a desire to stop treatment?
Yes, I have watched loved ones, who were terminally ill, suffer at the end.
(notably, cancer and ALS)
It is a great opportunity for prayer and faith.
(and, yes, I have personally survived cancer)
