Hodar: And I have NEVER expressed this desire in any manner, way, shape or form.
Riiight, you have never expressed an interest in having a third party "help" someone commit suicide...
Hodar: (about your pet)....So, realizing that the most humane thing I could do; was to ask the vet to use the smallest needle he had...
and
I also think, that if I am paralyzed - and I request help in a suicide; that anyone who is compassionate enough to grant my wish, not be thrown in jail for murder.
I’d consider it a act of mercy if the policeman (who cannot get close enough to rescue me) were to fire his weapon to kill me. Others can decide if you have expressed a desire to expect someone else to do you in.
Hodar: Please have the courtesy to NOT credit me with things I have neither said, nor implied. I promise I will show you the same respect and courtesy.
And then you go on and accuse me of wanting to force someone to undergo Chemotherapy.... sigh...
Do you understand the idea of diminished capacity? Does it matter to you that many people near the end of their lives become incapable of making rational choices? Or that depressed people also suffer from diminished capacity? Should we try to help them overcome their obstacles or just throw them out with the trash? Is that the loving thing to do? Well, at least it gets them out of our hair and lets us collect our inheritance, doesn't it?
You can do whatever you want with your life. Just don't ask others to either help or approve of you killing yourself.
So, in your view; If you are able to pull the act off all by yourself, that's fine. But if you are helpless, then I guess God meant you to suffer.
Maybe you will be blessed to experience some of the same 'compassion' you are so willing to dispense upon your fellow man.
