Assisted Dieing,

[day worker 296]

I said as much to my mum yesterday! My dad's memories are ruined with the images I've got of him wasting away in the living room! I've agreed to renovate the house for sale and I'm really not looking forward to it as I know it's going to stir it all up again! Pancreatic cancer is untreatable and if I was to get it knowing now what I do,I'm pretty sure I'd finish it early as to spare the family!

people should have that option but who gets the job of putting them to sleep

some sort of dispencing machine,then its on nobodys head,funeral directors connected all done same day,take a bit of the grief out of it after all your getting your last wishs carried out,probs 20yrs from now be 1 in all big cities,

Easy for me, if you want to go, then go but do it properly, especially for your nearest and dearest. Watching people die slowly and painfully is hell...

Laws need to change and religion needs to back the feck off..!!

Spot on .......

I have wAtched enough people fade away in pain, I find it baffling that the law has never. Even amended to allow assisted suicide. I had this talk with my mother after her mothe passed from cancer, she said if I ever went that way will you help me to go? I said yes, and if I need to one day then I shall, whatever the consequences

They need to let them die the way that's right for them, not for us, it's heart braking to see someone go down hill, to a point where they want to die, but it's there choice, there life and we should respect there wish, this world is too full of dogooders,

Larry they take their own meds where possible!

yeah I watched someone dying an taking morphine and was thinking is that there to help or send them on there way

Every termanly ill cancer patient is given morphine in ever increasing dosage until they die,it's said it's for pain relief but i know about opiates and how they work and i know 100% it ain't for solely pain relief and if there's any doudters then how many folk they knew that were dieing have died just after the doctor or nurse has been to give them their jabs?...

I think your absolutely spot on. How many times have you heard of someone in hospital for weeks/ months and then suddenly the family are called in and the person dies in the next few hours.

Not that I'm saying that's a bad thing....when it's time it's time.

The last few months of my grandads years were not great...he had bone cancer and he was in pain. I had to syringe morphine into his mouth on the days it was to bad.

I'm sure he would have given the go ahead to slip away peacefully if that option was on the table.

It was tony nicklinson who really got me, I'm sure you all know who he is.? Well he wanted right to die.

 

I remember watching him and his family after he fought for his right to die to no avail, it completely broke my heart, you could see the fecking emotional pain all over his face - he couldn't cope being paralysed anymore. That poor man starved himself ended contracting pneumonia.

 

I don't know why it was this person in particular that struck me, but it did. And from the day I saw that mans face, I said I would back anything to do with this.
