Falling thousands of feet wouldn't be so bad, good fun really. Lots of people pay to do that.
The only problem is the last few feet...

My mom suffers from MS, has done for 26 years. Can't walk, can't cook, can't shower herself, and lives a life controlled by when someone is available to help her on an off the toilet.
I quite often wonder how much worse it'll get before she has no quality of life whatsoever - having endured a body slowly rebelling against her almost her entire lifetime, anyone who would deny her the authority or ability to make a descision on whether or not she wanted to live can gladly fuck off.
There is a difference between not wanting to live and actively wanting to die. But with an ever-increasing ageing population, these our issues that we need to FORCE into the forum of debate.The Power Of The Riff Compels MeComment

We are America we are light years ahead of the game....bro ...man.
There are many organizations set up, but until you have helped a family member thru it. I guess you wouldn't know..?
If you have perhaps you haven't done that in America...no harsh, i'm just say'n//
This is the confusion you get when responding to a objectivley incorrect statement written as if it was a issue of concern.. by the thread creator...dude...Last edited by thome; 02-22-2010, 06:00 PM.Comment

I don't support the term Euthanasia, at least as it's defined here.
This implies medical people have a responsibility to help a person end their life.
Not acceptable...medical people should be used for life-saving measures only.
If a person really wants to die, they should have their family steal enough potassium chloride to inject in them or their IV to stop their heart. Leave the doctors, nurses, and profiteers out of it.“If bullshit was currency, Joe Biden would be a billionaire.” - George W. BushComment

You don't seem to undertand what euthanasia is.
It is a deliberate intervention undertaken with the express intention of ending a life, to relieve intractable suffering. So the example you give would be euthanasia.
Your simplistic idea completely misses the whole debate. The family you describe could currently be charged with theft and murder, some people think that is unjust.
Your libertarianism doesn't work here because with no government/legal framework how do you distinguish between the family member who murders or the one that does it out of love to end suffering?Last edited by Seshmeister; 02-23-2010, 07:45 AM.Comment

Relieving suffering is a noble idea, but the medical establishment should have no part in that if it results in deliberate death.“If bullshit was currency, Joe Biden would be a billionaire.” - George W. BushComment
