Every one of these do-gooders who tout how immoral it is would be begging for the morphine overdose once it's their turn to suffer in agony waiting for the end. Nothing worse than watching family suffer and not being able to do a thing about it..

Well Christianity doesn’t, but it’s mentally easy to do a one size fits all

Why not let government decide when life is not worth continuing? Let’s just mandate that all persons 65 and older must be terminated? It would save a lot of money on SS and Medicare and get rid of all those GOP voters. If you make assisted suicide legal, the Government will regulate it and in the end determine when it should be applied.

I agree with most of what you say....the problem is, people will take advantage of the law and terminate unhappy people, injured people, etc....

It will end up nasty, I promise.

Yet we're willing to do more to ease the suffering of animals that are terminal than we are for humans who are terminal.

When I can no longer care for myself or drive to the store then I want to be able to check out.

If someone is considered terminal by multiple medical professionals, it's the height of cruelty, selfishness and insensitivity to force them to slowly wither and to force their family and friends to have to bear witness to such a needless allowance of degradation of life.


Damn sure is. Take something like Alzheimer's. At a certain point someone with Alzheimer's is so far gone that it's cruel to them and their family to keep them going.

This presupposes that the value of human life is measured by convenience and pleasure. As soon as you are a burden, it’s better to be killed.

I have doubts about whether morphine can really eliminate the pain. Not in my experience with it.

Slippery Slope?
quote:

Medical assistance in dying (MAID) has been available in Canada since 2016 and is set to expand in March 2023, extending eligibility to those with a mental illness.

Bill C-7 would allow individuals seeking MAID to apply solely on the basis of a mental disorder. Prior to the bill’s passage, MAID eligibility was based on having a “grievous and irremediable medical condition,” according to a report from the Canadian government on the practice.

Creighton School of Medicine professor Charles Camosy said Wednesday on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” the bill would allow “mature minors” to be euthanized by state doctors without the consent of their parents.

My daughter suffered with an earache once. Perhaps we should have killed her instead.

I don't think so. It may be a reasonable decision and it is also legal in some places. But moral? No.

The government can’t be out of the process, or I might determine to put YOU “out of your misery”.
