terminal cases should be able to enjoy all the morphine they want or need until that or the disease takes them.
I don't think assisted suicide should be an option for healthy people.
I would agree with you, except that morphine isn't the greatest idea if the patient's vital organs are already in a state of compromise. That'd do a number on a sick person's liver. Which, to be fair, presumably isn't among top concerns if they've already got 1 foot in the grave ๐ข
and I hope nobody believes assisted suicide should be made medically/legally available to anyone & everyone who felt they wanted to die.click to expand

In my belief system, I think people should be allowed to kill themselves for any reason.
Why do they have to be terminally ill?
Maybe they don't like life, maybe they just don't desire to be around any longer ... it's their life, they should be able to do with it as they please.
I would kill myself. I have no fear of death.

Living isn't more important than death.

Living isn't more important than death.
Not really sure what you are insinuating.
One cannot exist without the other.
Living and death is part of life.
Feelings can change, sometimes it doesn't.
If someone wishes to die, why not grant it?

They shouldn't be allowed to because..... "The sun will come out tomorrow............"
Feelings of despair today, may be feelings of joy tomorrow.
Captenn think about this scenario.
You are in Syria, your best friend gets hit by a mortar shell up his ass.
He is cut in half, all disemboweled with intestines all burnt and exposed...pretty much has no chance in hell to survive.
You see his extreme pain and distress...he looks at you and begs you to shoot him..."kill meeeeeeee," he whimpers.
Instead you turn around and reply with
"Fight through it mate, you never know the sun will come out tomorrow."
Pat him on the head, walk away feeling powerful.
Yup, good logica Cap...you are now supporting torture.click to expand

Hang on. We are all going to die. Sooner or later. Is suffering involved in most cases? Probably.
Should we sign up to kill ourselves SOONER to minimize suffering?

At the very least a person should be allowed the dignity
to end a life that has become insufferable.

Allowed the dignity... how does that translate to you?
Are you saying that they should be able to go to the doc and
get a prescription that will kill them?
That doctors should legally be able to do so for patients, on demand?
Just looking for clarification.

The scenario you are painting is quite a bit different from what is being discussed here.
Thanks for playing along, though.
The painted scenario is very in tune with what is being discussed here...
"Assisted Suicide"
Anyone who has witnessed relatives suffering through terminal cancer would agree with assisted suicide law.
It is a HORRIFYING thing to see and HORRIBLE way to die.click to expand

Yea...
I guess
Being a Capricorn you know that sick people pay more than dead people.
Just saying though.

if people started having the choice to off themselves for some of the expensive diseases of today.....I bet you we would start seeing some cures real quick.

Dude, we put our dogs down for these reason, yet we can't give people that individual choice?
Why? Thank makes no sense to me.

If it was an individual choice, it wouldn't be "assisted".
Individual choice in suicide:
1. Insert gun into mouth.
2. Pull trigger.
All done.click to expand

I've seen terminal cancer suffering, and I disagree with assisted suicide laws. So no, not "anyone" would agree.

OMG how retarded is your argument? By this logic... then you can also hold the person who sold the gun and the bullets responsible for this persons death.
And not to mention this is about death with dignity, not I accidentally only shot out half of my brain and survived.
But you don't even address the point here. Why is ok to put down Fido? WHY?click to expand

Posted by CapTenn
Wrong. Unless, the person committing suicide tells the gun dealer, "Hey, I'm going to blow my brains out with this gun." In which case, no sale would be made to the suicidal person. Poor example.
As for part 2 -- Don't miss. If you want to die, there are many, many ways of making it happen without asking someone else to "help".

You would prefer for me to die than a dog, because you disagreed with something I typed on this waste of time message board?
Seek counseling, weirdo.
Yes I do. You know why? Because you think you're something special and you value your life over some otheranimal, you conceited selfish pig. I never heard a dog say I'd prefer for the human to die instead of me. No, thanks to their ignorance (and thus disregard to their own life) they're actually the ones saving lives.click to expand

Let us be honest, you guys don't even know terminal cancer is.
You are clueless.
With terminal "brain" cancer dying naturally means INTENSE suffering everyday with pain becoming increasingly worst and daily episodes of crippling migraines/seizures until finally death.
It will anything but learning experience laying on grass by the baseball field on warm summer afternoon listening to the birds waiting to die.
You will be on your knees vomitting blood, pissing yourself without any energy left to ask for another glass of water.

If they ask for assistance, then I think it should be considered only in terminal cases.
Regardless terminal cases should be able to enjoy all the morphine they want or

The weak, ill and dying are a 'burden' on society, financially-- and you can't just kill them.

Save your wisdom Monty
That guy admits to hating being sober
*Intoxicated ramblings*
Where is the wisdom in saying that a cancer patient is a poster child for social agenda?
It is idiotic....
I don't recall seeing that she held a big meeting with Barack Obama at the Wrigley Field and saying,
" Hey, I am opting for suicide so you could stage another terror attack...and I need attention, cool?"
Society is interested is interested in stories like these because they are touching, powerful, and people find them as a trigger for their lives as they reassess THEIR family lives.
Thought of losing a 29 y/o to "brain" cancer is sad tbh at least for a normal human being...

@Montgomery.
You are making the same "hospice" argument which has proven to do nothing with Euthanasia or Assisted Suicide.
Instead doctors pump patient full of morphine and leave them hanging until further notice.
It takes MONTHS before person dies under palliative services.
Plus it is proven to be counterproductive as even large dosages of opiates are not enough to fight the pain instead they create MORE agitation.
Lol.click to expand

1. Here in Belgium we don't have the same healthcare system as in the USA. Insurances don't matter all that much. Still we have a law for adults and for children... If anything for that matter they'd have you live longer, so they can charge more. The money's there. No problem. We have a system for that. Where's the fucking greed in that?
2. When they tried to pass the law for the children there was a lot of opposition from the Christian Democrats. They were in the government.
So please explain to me why in a country where insurance doesn't matter all that much and half the government disagrees on something they pass a law out of greed by insurance companies and the government.
Please step out of you narrow little world and look at the rest of the world, see what they're doing and why. This has nothing to do with greed but with basic human rights and dignity.

No shit-- it's an excellent platform for pulling heartstrings (manipulation).
Thank you for spelling it out for everyone.
Idk what the fuck the rest of that is-- terror attacks aren't exactly 'social' issues.

That euthanasia should be considered in terminal cases isn't a 'hospice argument.'
You disregarded that part, as well as my point.
Again.
You said "terminal cases should enjoy all the morphine they want."
