On of my wife’s cousins has GBM IV... found out two days before his daughter was born. That was nearly two years ago... but what hell he as gone through in two years... and I think he is getting closer to the end now... constantly in the hospital with infections and a myriad of complication, he is on so many different medicines he doesn’t even recognize his own children... he is just 32.
They give you “medication” to kill you now? The bambulance chaser should like this one.
Would this be a mortal sin in God’s eyes? If you’re going to die anyways?
I am going to go out on a limb here and lean towards yes. Jesus suffered for us. To not suffer your final hours and die as He intended, would that not be unforgivable? However, we are all sinners and no where close to as Holy as Jesus is. In this life, we can never be.
Wow November 1 is my birthday. Wow so sad, very beautiful woman my prayers go with her. I’m surprised though that the doctor can give her “medication” to end her life. Actually the best way to go is to inhale pure nitrogen. It makes you feel light headed and giddy and you won’t feel anything.
This one is heartbreaking but understandable.
PLEASE stand back and let her implement her decision, Stateist busybodies...
I am grateful that my father chose to live while he could, otherwise I would have lost those last precious weeks with him. He was very brave, even though it was scary to face. This is not a condemnation of those who choose otherwise. After helping to care for dad, I would not choose a premature death for myself if faced with cancer of any kind.
On November 1, surrounded by her husband, mother and best friend, she will end her life using medication prescribed by her doctor
...
Is she suffering now? How much longer would she have if she doesn’t end her life.
And that's the issue at hand. Like homosexual "marriage", Liberals will demand everyone must set aside the moral implications and focus exclusively on the emotional aspect of the equation. That is wrong. Dead wrong. And it opens the door even wider to doing whatever somebody wants as long as it "feels" right.
Again, this is how we continue the process, well underway, of societal devolution and decoupling society from any morals whatsoever. In the end, there is no right or wrong, it is only whatever is right in one's own eyes.
This line of reasoning denies our God-designed and innate moral code.
It is wrong.
Tough
My younger brother died last year - Gliobastoma - 9 months after diagnosis. He’d never had any serious illness in his life.
This is suicide. this is wrong. You do not have a right to end the life that has been entrusted to you. That is playing God.
Gene transfer is a promising approach for fighting cancers including brain cancer.[48] Unlike current conventional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, gene transfer has the potential to selectively kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. Over the past two decades significant advances have been made in gene transfer technology and the field has matured to the point of clinical and commercial feasibility. Advances include vector (gene delivery vehicle) construction, vector producer cell efficiency and scale-up processes, preclinical models for target diseases and regulatory guidance regarding clinical trial design including endpoint definitions and measurements. In one such approach, researchers at UCLA in 2005 reported a long-term survival benefit in an experimental brain tumor animal model.[49] Subsequently, in preparation for human clinical trials, this technology was further developed by Tocagen, and is currently under clinical investigation in a Phase I/II trial for the potential treatment of recurrent high grade glioma including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and anaplastic astrocytoma.[50]
I would check out, too. What's the point of extending one's life to include inevitable pain & suffering before certain death? Because it makes other people uncomfortable? That's their problem & it's none of their business.
Luckily, I have my wishes in writing & a trusted person to carry them out should I some day be in a position when I am unable to make my wishes known.
I will not be Terry Schiavo part 2.
I understand the predicament, I read the other day about a woman who saved her last bullet for herself, when faced with capture by IS, she chose to deprive her enemy of any satisfaction resulting from her capture, she knew she would have certainly been raped her to death.
I have to admit sympathy with those who face certain death and desire to avoid the torture that will ensue, I also acknowledge this issue presents a very slippery slope, the end result being death as a matter of convenience, much the same as abortion, human nature, sinful as it is, seeks out the bottom of the abyss, the never ending path where murder resides.
There are alternative treatments that give people excellent results. There is the Burzinski Clinic in Houston. There are people that have great success with intravenous Vit. C — there is also the treatment of oral cesium chloride. These and many other treatments are brutally suppressed by governmental authorities !! If you know a cancer sufferer, please encourage them to seek alternative treatments vigorously. There is hope !

Difficult rather than wrong?
Very subtle of you.
Being able to choose to go with dignity is less terrifying.”

DEAD
Having watched a friend die of this in the last year I cannot fault her decision.
It is very difficult, and I am not going to judge.
Is it really any different than a DNR decision?
