Rodger Winn ought to DEMONSTRATE for us what this means ~ just give him some pills and a bottle of pristine mountain water ~ he chugalugs it all down ~ we’ll be the judge of whether or not it works.
I know of a woman who bragged that she sat by and watched her own father being killed because he had Alzheimer’s. People were shocked at her attitude, and she was surprised that everyone didn’t praise her for it. Later, she became her mother’s care giver when her mother developed Alzheimer’s. When her mother died, she was very quiet about the circumstances. I’ve often wondered.
I’ve noticed that people who support killing off vulnerable people usually have personal reasons for that support.
This is evil.

Please everyone, Pray for Oregon. It may well be the most messed up state in the Union.
I am not a supporter of euthanasia at all, but I’ve been grappling with a difficult question lately.
People are living longer with today’s medical care, but not necessarily healthier. In many cases, it seems that we’re just spending money to keep people with irreversible medical conditions alive another week (so to speak).
I mean, what’s the point of living to one’s 80s or 90s if you’re in such poor condition? Some enjoy excellent health into their old age, but all too many don’t.
If living to 100 means that I’m senile, have poor mobility, bad hearing, or anything like that, and can’t enjoy life or contribute anything productive to society, forget about it. I’d rather just go at 70 of a quick heart attack or whatever.
People who are mentally impaired are not able to make decisions regarding life and death. This is wrong from every possible perspective.
My mother is very ill. Congestive heart failure, other complications, etc. She has made it clear and in no uncertain terms that she wants her DNR enforced. No ventilators for assisted breathing either. She’s only 66. She’s a nurse and spent the bulk of her 35 plus years working with the elderly. She has seen literally hundreds of terminally ill patients waste away over the last few months of their lives and wants no part of that for herself. She’s of sound mind and made her preferences clear. Who am I to act against them? Still, this is a struggle.
Not only do they want the slippery slope, they want the great leap off into the abyss. But they want it for others, not (just) themselves.
So, government assisted murder, in other words? Hasn’t that been tried in places like Germany and the USSR. I think China practices this..
