Death and Dying

If you stop eating and drinking when you have a terminal illness that won't get any better you will die naturally, instead of dying from the cancer or the complications etc.
 
I wanted to discuss conscious dying, and making the choice to stop eating and drinking.
(If this is too personal, just slide on by...) Do you know someone that is contemplating this?
I just got back from a lecture on Death and Dying. So I guess I could say I'm contemplating advanced directives and how to make life easy for my family when it's time.


this is a good tool to use

Suicide is not a sin, Skye.

Only imperfect men and women think so.



suicide will bring you more pain and sorrow and nightmares

than when you were alive


take my word!
Have you committed suicide? Pardon me, I'm being sarcastic.


fuck off scum

I am being sarcastic too
Bye bye.


what sort of human being are you? why are you telling people is ok the end their lives before their time?

why?

that is a terrible thing you are saying to your brothers and sisters


so yes! bye bye to you and to your sick advise
 
what a ......!@#$$% ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
Suicide is a NO NO

no
no no!
 
Forcing a dying person to eat or drink when they have no desire is abusive.
 
Skye is shackled. I hope like hell nobody relies on her to ease their passing when it's time.

when it comes to the last hours of their life ok


not years or months before
 
This point is one skye doesn't understand:

There is a strong general medical consensus that withdrawal or withholding of treatment is a decision that allows the disease to progress on its natural course. It is not a decision to seek death and end life.Euthanasia actively seeks to end the patient's life.
 
Who are you to decide what is best for someone else, Skye? Huh?
 
There may be persons on the board that have lost a loved one to suicide. I'm thinking that it is not right to tell them their loved one has certainly gone to eternal fire.

There's an excellent book, Many Masters, Many Lives that talks about a psychiatrist with his patient and the experiences he had when he hypnotized her and the patient actually went into different lives and spoke a variety of languages although she was not a highly educated person.

What was most interesting was the patient's experiences between the lives. She learned lessons from the Masters, often quoting the Bible (which she didn't know) and having the souls rest before returning to earth in a new body but the same soul. The patient always had the choice if returning to earthly body or learning her lessons from the Masters. Quite a read, can be read in one day.
 
Thank you Jackson. I lost a family member to suicide.


and so you are advising everybody here to commit suicide too? if they are sick or something????
 
I'm having a discussion about when it's appropriate to allow a terminally ill person to die naturally. Skye I think you've decided to be hostile about it. This is not a discussion on the topic of suicide.
