‘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.

“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!

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?

I struggle with this. On one hand, I believe that an otherwise healthy person committing suicide is wrong on many levels and I believe it to be, at minimum, an affront to God.

On the other hand, if asked "whose life is it?" I would answer that it is mine. If I were facing a progressively more painful (physical, emotional, metal, psychological) end of life situation, I don't know if I would take my life, but certainly the option is there and mine to decide while I have still the mental facilities to make that decision. I would not want someone, family, friend or stranger to take that decision away from me.

Some argue that we treat our animals more humanely when we euthanize them rather than force them to endure whatever pains they may be suffering until death finally takes them. Yet, we often force a dying human to endure until death and/or treatments that won't cure them, but merely prolong their suffering. Who is being helped?

I read a House quote posted here yesterday that more or less said, "We are all dying, some more quickly than others." I don't watch that program very often, but that quote helped me find some perspective in dealing with all that's happened these last 18 months.

“on the day she was diagnosed, she told me of her intention to commit suicide”

wow,. I would have gotten a second opinion, esp where this is Britian - where the NHS is a bit, well, terrible.

For those who do not believe in much beyond this world, suicide is a viable option. It is a materialistic response.

A few years ago, my father passed away after suffering horribly from untreatable cancer. I grieved horribly, but I know that he is now with his Creator. Had he taken his own life like these people, I would not be thinking of him quite so positively. Suicide is a grave error. It is shocking and tragic to most people except those who are so far gone, they they can no longer understand.

I'm ambivalent on this one.

Seems like a hard death.

Paralyzed with no movement or means to communicate is terrifying.....like Awakenings or Johnny Got His Gun....

I've been primary care coordinator over the deaths of both my parents....dad from cerebral megaglioma and my mom from colon cancer that went everywhere

they died as well as can be expected but it's still tough stuff....even under the best circumstances..to leave someone conscious yet incapacitated and maybe in a panic raises questions for me

Curious, the statement — ‘Since it is illegal in Britain, those who choose suicide have to cut their lives short early, as they have to be healthy enough to travel.’

It is all so wrong. Life is not ours to take, not at the beginning, not at the end.

The whole family visited my dad to say good bye when my father decided to end his life because his legs had given out and he couldn’t work any longer and at age 92 who’s to deny him his wishes.

He just refused to eat or drink anything until he died 2 weeks later.
