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
I have a condition I don’t even know the name of.
I sometimes enter a state of total paralysis somewhere between sleep and consciousness. I feel the pain of whatever position I am in and am semi-aware of all that is going on around me but cannot move a single muscle or change my state of awareness.
I can be screaming and flailing inside trying to change my position or condition but to no avail. Only an external stimulus, a very loud noise or someone shaking me, will bring me out to full consciousness.
I have found myself in the state described many times for anywhere from a few minutes to near two hours. If diagnosed with a disease that would eventuate in such a condition I would seek to inflict sufficient trauma to this body that it would release my soul to whatever my God has awaiting me on the other side.
Far be it from me to decide what is right or wrong for anyone else or for anyone else to decide what is right or wrong for me.
Curious to follow this thread but will have to wait until after church.
