Who gets to decide when and how we die?

[gipper]

If we were to out and look for fentanyl, wouldn't that end your life?

Euthanasia is complex beyond the scope of this column, but its essential question deserves attention: Who has the right to decide when and how we die?

Christian says suicide go to hell?
The religious often accept the principle, as well, deferring to their perception of the will of God, even if it means enduring prolonged suffering.

n fact, the Canadian Minister of Health’s recent annual report notes that among the reasons cited by patients who chose euthanasia, only 58% mentioned “inadequate control of pain.” Eighty-six percent said they prefer to die because of the “loss of ability to engage in meaningful activities.”
Euthanasia, sometimes called mercy killing, is the ending of a person’s life who is terminally ill and suffering in pain. It is different from assisted suicide, which refers to a physician assisting the person in ending their life.
Euthanasia is more commonly performed on sick or injured animals, as euthanasia for humans is illegal in the majority of the United States. As of June 2021, the only jurisdictions that allow this procedure are Oregon, Washington D.C., Hawaii, Washington, Maine, Colorado, New Jersey, California, and Vermont.

Euthanasian should be the law of the land in the US, but with conservatives on the SC would never go for it, because they believe in heaven and hell.
What zealots.

If only all the unvaxxed were murdered as you desire, there would be no need for furthering your eugenics fantasies.

Smh, and the vaccine doesn’t stop you from getting covid 19

What’s your point?

The point is we don't know if it's the vaccine, or the long term affects of getting over COVID that are causing problems. I have friends that developed cardiac issues right after getting COVID. So to rule out the virus itself as something not to be concerned about is short sighted. Those who blow it off as just another virus may be very very wrong.

How do we know that getting COVID doesn't have long term consequences? Some believe ok I'm over it, it's all good. Growing evidence on long term effects is real.

The TV says so, so it MUST be true, right?

One of many lawsuits>>>

Since 2007, fatal fentanyl overdoses in Virginia have risen by nearly 1,600%, from just 48 in 2007 to more than 800 in 2018. In the same period, nearly 10,000 Virginians have died of a heroin or opioid overdose, including 5,700 from a prescription overdose, and nearly 3,500 from a fentanyl overdose, all while Teva/Cephalon made huge sums of money from its fentanyl drugs.

Attorney General Mark R. Herring today filed suit against opioid manufacturer Teva Pharmaceuticals, USA, Inc. and its predecessor, Cephalon, Inc. for engaging i

Occam's Razor, my friend.

I have a friend who has to have dialysis three times a week. I don't know what dialysis costs, but I know it's insanely expensive.

If my friend had not taken that pill for her alleged high cholesterol -- the pill that destroyed her kidneys -- that dialysis center wouldn't be making all that money off of my friend's poor ravaged body.

It's called keeping your revenue stream healthy. It's just good business.

No vaccine has ever claimed to prevent infection altogether. So saying "the vaccine doesn’t stop you from getting covid 19" is what's truly pointless. Not their purpose.

Why, liberals are freer, euthanasia should be the law of the law, but Christian's zealots won't let it.

I was being snarky. It doesn't matter if someone is a "liberal. Like everyone else, they're subject to God's laws, whether they believe it or not. They're born, they live, and at some appointed time, they die. And to end one's own life is no different than murder, in God's eyes.

But we're talking to proggys.

Their body, their choice. Isn't that what they always say?

That's the "original sin" of pride. The Devil was the first one who thought he had a bigger dick than God, and he tricked us into believing we did too.

I'm just telling it like I see it.

Your right to life is unalienable. You can kill yourself, but if someone else attacks and kills you, that is a criminal homicide. “Physician assisted-suicide” is just murder and its practitioners should die in prison.

Primum non nocere. Deliberately killing you is malicious harm - you cannot pretend that prescribing something to kill your patient is trying to well-intended with the risk of harm, the intent is harm. That is not medicine.

How can it be malicious harm when you give the doctor permission to prescribe or give you a lethal dose of medication?

That would violate the doctors Hippocratic Oath. As early as the fifth century BC, those who practiced medicine took an oath to the gods of the day “to ground their practice in service to the best interest of their patients.” The Hippocratic Oath included its vow: “I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan."

The AMA's Code of Medical Ethics even states that a physician must not participate in a legally authorized execution.

The Hippocratic oath is not legally binding.

But how is allowing a patient to end the torment of pain and suffering doing harm?

Is it less harmful to force a person to live in excruciating pain?

Suffering, torment, and pain are only temporary things we go through in this world. They can be eternal in the next one.

Bottom line of the leftist vermin, i.e. "modern doctor" -- "Can I go to jail for it?"

Enter the hypocrisy.
"Temporary" harm.
"They done changed it."

Killing is permanent and severe harm. Always.

That can’t be gussied up.

Is it less harmful to force a person to live in excruciating pain?

Not allowing someone to get legally murdered is not “forcing them to live.” They are alive and that isn’t a bad thing nor the fault of others, other than arguably their parents, but still not a bad thing to be concerned about FAULT with.

If I give you permission and request you shoot me in the face, and you do, the police will arrest you and put you in prison for murder.

Permission is irrelevant. You are not allowed to attack me. You are only allowed to use force like that in self-defense.

I have a condition that is often called, colloquially, by some of the people who have it, "the suicide disease" because it's so painful that a shocking number of the people who have it choose to end their lives rather than live with the pain.

My belief system tells me that I do not have the right to end my life, and that doing so would risk my ending up in what some folks call hell.

How can I delegate to another that which my belief system would not allow me to do myself?
