It’s interesting to me that the same people who would applaud this effort I assume would support human euthanasia or abortion.

Not sure of why all the downvotes. I guess they don't like the truth about themselves...

Having compassion and a heart is why the 19th should be repealed?

You should take her fly fishing. She'll love it.

Emotionally anthropomorphising a bumblebee and giving it human traits? Yes. Real life isn’t a Disney movie.

She is not anthropomorphising a bumblebee. She is seeing it for what it is and allowing it to have a low stress final 2 weeks of her life. In no way did she dress the bumblebee up, or treat it like a child. She made an enclosure for it, fed it sugar water, and allowed it to climb on her.

The issue is that you can't discern between the two. There's a whole range of emotions between stoic and naive, and you seem to be unable to experience them.

I'd say maybe you're the one who shouldn't be able to vote.

He would give stoics a bad name. The core of stoicism is not being affected, good or bad, by things outside of one’s control; it is not a lack of emotion or feeling. She saw a helpless insect and decided it was within her control to improve the final days of its existence, and that doing so would bring her joy and fulfillment. There’s nothing anti-stoic about that behavior. His concerning himself with her behavior in this instance is actually anti-stoic.
