>>One can easily chose to not have medical care....purposefully taking ones own life is a waaaay different story
It’s interesting that people who say “I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees” or “I’d die for my brothers” or any of a dozen courageous saying about sacrificing your life will act like choosing to avoid a painful and humiliating form of death is wrong.
There is no greater love .....
How can you not see the difference between sacrifice as opposed to the self centered act of suicide
Good post. It’s easy to criticize someone when we aren’t in that position. I’m against suicide but I can’t honestly say that if I was suffering incredibly that I wouldn’t choose to refuse prolonging my life.
My friend’s Mother died from ALS. Before ALS, she was a funny, spunky woman, full of life. Before her death, she was just a suffering shell of what she used to be. Her real self died before her body died.
I wouldn’t wish that kind of death on my worst enemy.
