Ate himself to death.
Euthanasia Party.
Thought this was a thread about the Rats.
A party is how it starts. In a generation, it will be more like, ‘You are hereby ordered to report to your scheduled termination event.’
Let’s ask Dan Laramie how he is doing right now? That would be very informative.
Jesus told us how the rich man was feeling. I guess Dan is probably going through the same thing, wishing someone would go back and tell all the “friends” at the euthanasia party how bad this decision was.
A real friend tells the guy that life has more than just momentary discomfort. How many more songs could he have wrote? Maybe a book on living with diabetes and amputations for people who also were suffering? Visiting schools in a wheelchair and telling them that life goes on and there are still goals to achieve and joy to be had?
But no, his legacy is telling them that life holds no meaning if you do not have four perfect limbs, so kill yourselves and do the world a favor.
Not really God’s plan for people but he will allow people to make their own choices with consequences He clearly spelled out for all who care to know, whether they agree with Him or not.
Contrast this guy choosing to kill himself rather than live without limb(s) vs all the people living without limbs, born without limbs and living a life full of purpose and meaning.
Or the apostles and early church members who for choosing Jesus and His call on thier life over their self or their profession or possessions etc, martyred in all sorts of horrible ways vs this guy has a “I don’t want a limb cut off so kill me instead party”
So, let me ask you, my dear readers, to ponder: If invited to such a “party,” would you go?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Would there be free food and beer? A chance to mock the nearly departed for being a wuss? Maybe a chance to tell him to knock off this idiot idea or spend an eternity in Hell?
Sure. I’d go.
Blessed by Satan.
I can’t say watching someone I love dying I would cheer or applaud. That I would appreciate they’re out of their pain... OK, yes. But cheer and applaud? How odd.
In the name of justice and to assuage the morally-confused we should consider renaming capital punishment as a “euthanasia party”.
Exactly. This guy could have taken charge of his life and with sensible care would have been fine. It all boils down to diet and exercise. I have Type II and I am on a low carb/no carb diet and I am now walking 3.5 miles a day six days a week. That is what you have to do.
This guy probably did nothing to help himself and totally depended on a ever increasing regimen of drugs and dosages to live.
So instead of talking care of himself he did nothing and allowed his disease to progress to the point where he was. So for him he choose death rather than admit his own responsibility for his predicament.
How do you know he had type 2?
Life imitates art.

Since he had it since childhood he certainly had type 1. It is an auto Immune disease and has nothing to do with eating. At age 68, he was indeed fortunate to have survived as long as he did. He had already had one amputation and all of his organs were failing. Not sure I wouldn’t choose the same in his shoes. Self righteous ignorance suits you well apparently.
See my post 16.
It won’t take a generation, My FRiend. At the most, 5 years. Probably closer to three.
Yep.
I never said he had Type II, I said I had Type II. From the article I would say he had Type I. Same thing goes though, diet and exercise. Mary Tyler Moore the actress had Type I and watched everything her whole life and made into her 80’s.
That guy could have done the same.
