Why don't they try it on prisoners who are already sentenced to die for their terrible crimes. No doubt some of them don't want to live anymore. /sarc
Don’t kid yourselves, this will pass eventually. Nothing ever gets better but things continue to worse and worse. It’s a bottomless pit of depravity and humanity will not be able to lift itself up.
When the state picks up the costs of health care, the state will be more than happy to help you kill yourself, particularly if you are ill and are going to rack of a lot of medical expenses.
Follow the money. This is not about rights. This is about efficiency.
Happens in the US all the time. My father's doctor very carefully told my father how much of his medicine he should NOT take because it could kill him and also told my father that the pills would be useless if be became too ill as he wouldn't be able to swallow them. My father died a peaceful death unlike the agony that preceded it.
Dear Margo - any time you want you can run a garden hose from the tailpipe of your tiny car to the cabin. Put an audio book version of “Dreams of My Father” on and do us all a favor. Just don’t put too much petrol in the tank, I’m sure you don’t want to leave one last big carbon footprint.
“During the consultation, McDonald said that the age limit for assisted suicide consent should coincide with the age when children are allowed to decide which parent to live with after a divorce. Children older than 12 are typically consulted in Scotland’s custody battles, with exceptions occasionally made for younger children deemed mature enough.”
This sounds like he wants doctors to kill young children who are suffering from depression. Even the life of a child is deemed no longer worth it in this brave new world.This is a level of evil that is simply unimaginable and this is coming from an elected official. We can understand why evil can be done out of hatred but this is pure and unadulterated evil done in the name of freedom and compassion. The way I see it, there is no greater depravity than this. This is the very bottom of the abyss.
There are endless medical problems that hurt so much that many people wish they would just die, or are just willing to die. But when the pain finally stops, their life goes on as it should.
Unless their was an “angel of death” handy.
What in the world is happening to sanity?
God help us all and protect us from this culture of death.
Don’t people realize that there’s no “undoing” or “do overs” when a person kills himself?
Little old lady in Auburn, Alabama, ended up bed ridden in a hospital and then a nursing home. She had been very active in the Lutheran Church there and being bed ridden was emotionally hard for her. I went in with some friends to see her and the friend took Communion to her. We read scripture, sang some hymns and then talked after wards. She was feeling helpless until I told her a story I’d heard from a praying woman in Montgomery, Alabama. Seems this woman had a heart for missionaries and would pray for certain ones she knew of by name every day. Well one early morning around 2 or 3 AM, she was awakened with a desire to pray but she didn’t know who for. So she got up out of bed, went to her chair where she sits and reads scripture and prays and just started praying and praying for the safety and security of missionaries and for God to bless whoever it was she was praying for. Well, about three months later, our church had as guest speakers a couple of missionaries who had just gotten back from Africa . . . don’t recall where exactly . . . and the couple told of their mission and about one day particularly when mercenaries came to the village where they were and threatened them and their church members and planned to set fire to their chapel and kill everyone in the village as well as take everything of value. For some unknown reason the mercenaries got into an argument among themselves with the usual yelling and shouting and shoving. Then, without any of the villagers saying or doing anything, just praying quietly together, the missionaries said that the mercenaries looked around and started acting afraid themselves. They kept looking off in the distance as if they saw an army coming down the road. The missionary saw nothing unusual when he looked down the road. Finally the mercenaries decided to leave and took off without firing one shot and without taking anything of value. Well, you can imagine what happened in church. The praying lady got up and asked the date and time this happened and it was exactly the day and time she’d been awakened to pray — only it was during daylight where the missionaries were. Lots of alleluias ensued in church. I told that story to the bed ridden little old lady and inspired her to pray for whomsoever the Lord laid upon her heart. And until she died, she was always praying. The nursing home staff visited her often just to have her pray with them. She was a blessing to all.
So here’s a woman that might have been encouraged to euthanize herself if she lived in Britain. But what about all those people who needed her prayers? What about the blessings that nursing home staff would have missed out on?
Euthanasia is insane. It’s unnatural. It’s like destroying a flower right at the peak of its bloom. Depression can be overcome, but once a person is dead, there are no do-overs.
