‘I’m far more traumatised by the images of my dad dying a “natural death” – pale and thin like an Auschwitz inmate in his hospital bed – than of my mother drinking barbiturates and dying 20 minutes later.’

Lady, you have this completely backwards.

Of course, as usual, those who play God leave out the most important piece of information: that one day very soon they are going to have to give an account to the true God.

Yes, the dying process can be ugly. This solution, however, is repugnant to the enth degree. I love how these people whitewash Nazi philosophies. They even have the gall to use Auschwitz as the example.

Please. This was an individual’s choice, not the state’s. I’d make the same decision.

Without government brainwashing, I think she’d have made a different choice. In the past, a few people committed suicide under these circumstances, but not with the support of friends, family and country.

“she was haunted by that image of Mum retching on the barbituates and had nightmares about it.”

Yeah, that was such a better way for your mom to go. No wonder you are having nightmares, girl!

The right to life is God-given and therefore UNALIENABLE.

The word unalienable has its roots in European property law, and it means that not only can’t something be rightfully taken from you, you have no right to give it away. It belongs to the Sovereign, you see.

At least that is what Americans believe to be part of the basis of our liberty.

Americans who haven’t utterly abandoned the basis for our free republic, anyhow.

REad on Progressive Supranuclear Palsy,,it was a better way to go, the thirty seconds of retching.

This woman was grown, her decision was hers and not mine or yours. She will face whatever she has to face after death. She was not coerced.

Death is so like final? No one has to preach to me about
horrors of disease.Suicide is a coward’s way out. Life is once and no matter what happens
there can be joy among suffering.

Those of us who have a faith in God believe life is a gift.
Were not mere vegetables or animals.

The culture of death ALWAYS seems to believe that they are the ONLY ones who have ever had to watch a loved one suffer a painful death, this is patently FALSE.

If there is any doubt left whatsoever about the role of the media -- that of a propaganda delivery system -- there's no excuse for it.

My question is, why does everyone still stay so tuned in when they know they're being programmed?

This was an individual’s choice, not the state’s.

Only if the individual believes that they are God.

I’d make the same decision.

That is very sad.
