I thought about this yesterday. What's wrong with society? Why do they insist that people die a long, painful and drawn out death?
Yeah, It's "natural", but going out on "first class" shouldn't be a crime or something suspect. I respect other peoples choices. If they want to stay alive as long as possible, hooked up to respirators and morphine pumps, leaving just a husk of their former self, they have the right to choose that, but it's not for me.
I don't want to be scared, disabled or experience pain, when my time ultimately comes. Is that so hard to understand?
MAID (medically assisted death) should be available to anyone who fill the requirements. A dying person should have access to professional medical care. Forcing people into breaking the law, shooting themselves, hanging themselves, is a barbaric practice, and what if you do it wrong, and end up in an even more difficult spot than you were before?
Society is really lagging behind on this subject, ethically speaking. It's not humane or progressive at all to force people to suffer needlessly.
As the euthanasia groups say, people who have access to a first class ticket out of this life, end up with less anxiety, and they even live longer.
Personally, I don't want to become a dribbling, hairless, disabled skeleton. Dying is hard enough. Why extend the dying process for as long as possible?
