Thank You! Those who haven’t seen what this disease is have no clue about what they would do.

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.

I agree with you. My mother was afflicted with that disease and it was a horrible existence for her the last few years. She prayed to die. May she now RIP.

I wish a study would be made of the commonalities among people that get it have. My mother was the picture of health and I believe that she wouldn't have lasted as long if she hadn't have been so healthy before it struck.

If you don't believe that life is a gift from God, it would be easy to do what that doctor did.

My mother and I both believed that life is a gift, no matter what the condition.

Actually I’ve seen the disease quite a bit during my 25+ years as a hospice nurse.

It’s very unnecessary to knock yourself off.

As a matter of fact, there’s honestly NO situation that I’ve yet to see that makes suicide necessary.

Hospice and palliative care fills that void well.
