If suffering is this wonderful gift in order to get into heaven, then why bother to treat people at all? Let's just shut down all the hospitals, kill all the doctors (painfully, so they too can benefit from suffering) and just let nature run it's course in all matters.
I have never said that we should not do what we can to stop suffering or pain. On the contrary, I feel it to be one my primary goals in life. I have simply argued that killing the person whose pain we cannot control has nothing to do with dignity. It has everything to do with mans' inability to cope with pain.
