What a fucked up world

[Edbear]

Agree with you Ed, maybe not for the same reasons as yourself, but strictly speaking the guy isn't dying. His quality of life is utterly deplorable, and I have no doubt that one way or another his life will come to an end peacefully in the near future...and someone will end up in court as a result...

It's not hard to see the potential in this. I have been in the position of wanting to die once. No doubt others have too because of severe and unrelenting illness. It is a complex situation and who knows what he has been thinking for so long? How could anyone not have empathy for him?

Yes, I do believe in the sanctity of life and have been involved in situations where these issues have had to be addressed. It is not an easy problem to deal with and we do have ways of helping people cope that work for many patients.

However without knowing this guy personally and what he has gone through to reach this point we can only comment in general terms. Suffice to say no doubt we are very grateful not to have to face this issue ourselves at this time.

Yeah, but that's only 'cos you're a soft cock who can't handle any pain.

You have zero understanding of this guys quality of life.

You're talking through a hole in your head.

Again.

Or is it Pandora's box?

Unfortunately... but I guess that's why they won't open the door, just in case someone gets hurt. He/She asked me to kill her/him and as it is legal I did, prove otherwise? or someone who is depressed wanting to have their life ended? or kids being bullied and instead of killing themselves they can guarantee their death by getting a professional to do it (depression?)? No doubt there's quote a few more reasons... but in the case of those who have had their quality of life absolutely shattered and really don't want to have to deal with it, I see no reason why they shouldn't be allowed to.

Flame on...

it will come to pass eventually wether it is called euthanasia or assisted suicide. There are enough numbers out there that want to have a say in how they go, how they preserve their dignity when wanting to end their life.
sanctity of life, bollocks
this is an individual decision, and should be treated as such.
this fellow clearly has had enough, and should have been given his will


this reminds me of a little story some years ago about a nice 70+ year old lady getting a tatto to make sure her wishes are respected.

You are one sanctimonious motherfucker.

Lol! For someone who has never met me or knows diddly squat about my life you sure seem adamant you know me absolutely. It must be so good for your ego to stroke it as vigorously as you do but in reality all you prove is that you are a .....

Flame on...

He's a sad case, we should pity him. He can't see himself.

While this case is a bit different for the most part the legislation is unnecessary as for the terminally ill there are medical options.

For this guy those options are not available.

Fair enough. Know this about me.....

I have been affected personally and deeply by suicide and while I still cannot fathom the hows and the whys, I will never deny the right.

For a religious man you have such a short sighted view of life.

Technically we're all terminally ill.

tell this to my mother who literally starved to death.
for the terminally ill there are no options available other then morphine, and often that is not enough.

we have no problem killing the unwanted, for greed, or for resources etc. we - society have a problem with the fact that some people might not want to live anymore....but for what its worth, society, you me and the others usually don't have to live the lives of these people, so what gives.

Fair enough. Know this about me.....

I have been affected personally and deeply by sucide and while I still cannot fathom the hows and the whys, I will never deny the right.

For a religious man you have such a short sighted view of life.

If you had any personal knowledge of me at all you would have no option but to change your opinion. But then who would you be able to ridicule and give all your red rep to?

[Katman]

You're not that special Ed. There's no shortage of people who deserve red - you just deserve it more than most others on here.

Your fascination with your rep speaks volumes.

Don't resort to rep Katman - Ed should be publicly ridiculed for our collective entertainment
