Now you know,so you won't have this excuse in the future.
Could you please give me Saturday's lottery numbers?
Yes,I could,but I won't. You're too snotty.
It has been proven that providing terminal patients with enough painkiller to make them comfortable restores their will to live.
Try to sell this HorseHillary to people who don't know better. There is a level of pain that can only be defeated by sedating the patient to the point where he don't even know what he is,much less if he hurts. People this heavily sedated have no idea if they are fire,much less if they want to live.
Legalized euthanasia is not the answer.
It IS a answer to people who want it,and who have no desire to bankrupt their families while putting them through a living hell,all for no good reason other than to satisfy the religious prejudices of others.
Revamping the archaic narcotics laws that allow the DEA to destroy any physician that they accuse of "overprescribing" narcotics to terminal and chronically in pain patients IS the answer.
I surely can't argue that the above IS ONE answer,even if it's not the only one. Who the hell cares if somebody in severe pain who is dying becomes addicted to the drug? What possible difference could this make?
Heroin is the most effective pain reliever ever invented, but its use is no longer allowed in legitimate medicine becaue of "War on Some Drugs" dementia.
Well,to be fair,I think it was banned from use long before the current insanity became so prevalent. I THINK that prohibition may go all the way back to the "Reefer Madness" days of the 30's.
Euthanasia is only the answer for people who love death.
This is a political/religious stance that has nothing at all to do with reality. Nobody loves death,and there is nothing to prevent healthy people from comitting suicide any time they want. The problem is with severely ill people who are in severe pain who no longer have the ability to do this for themselves,and who may be forced to suffer against their will due to these archaic laws. Euthanasia shouldn't be forced on anybody,but it SHOULD be a option for any terminally ill person who wants it. This is the ultimate "personal choice" issue.
