Yeah, a guy who tried to start the debate on whether we should kill the disabled at their request has nothing to do with a case where a disabled woman was supposedly killed at her request. Nope, no connection there at all...
That logic escaped me too!
‘Yeah, a guy who tried to start the debate on whether we should kill the disabled...’
I understand why you hestitated to use the correct term in this debate.
‘Disabled’ is hardly an accurate description, and I suspect you knew this when you choose that particular term.
We both know he was about terminally ill patients that are forced to suffer horribly for long periods before finally dying.
If I had a disease that was incredibly painful, completely debilitating....I honestly don’t know what I would personally do in such a situation. There are those that will survive you to consider, for example. In my case its my wife.
Should I bankrupt her completely so as to endure an agonizing ‘end’ months, maybe years in the future?
Nobody can answer that complicated question for anyone else.
And the Federal Government has no business being involved.
As for my original comment, sorry Kervorkian had nothing to do with that particular case. Its always been my suspicion there was ‘foul play’ at work.
I do think the family, after suffering through all of it, would be better off ‘moving on’.
But thats also a personal decision, isn’t it?
