Sounds like a bit of a backwards god.

Pissed up, coked up bully giving it the Billy big bollocks. 

 

It’s at times like that it takes every ounce of restraint to not want to see the cunt raped and murdered when he’s inside.

Picked on a tough guy as well? Of course not. Six years is a fuckin disgrace for that.

[Rico1304]

Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Everyone has to look into their own soul on this. There is no right and wrong answer.

 

My pa died of cancer. I hoped he would survive even when he went into hospital. A few days before he died, I saw him naked from the waist up, his body wrecked and devastated. My pa didnt have a body builder's frame but he wasnt flabby either. He looked like one of those poor souls you see in the concentration camps when they were liberated at the end of the 2nd world war.

 

I would have gladly ended my pa's sufferring there and then. When I got home I just broke down and cried like a baby seeing him like that.

 

So yes, I would agree with it, just not a blanket policy. it has to involve the family.

Yeah my dad was the same at the end with cancer. Carers were bathing him, which was so out of character for him as he was very private and old school.

I’ve probably said it before but I see it like abortion.  If you don’t want to have one then don’t, but that shouldn’t stop someone else having access to it.

I've been reading loads of stuff about suicides and particularly the golden gate bridge suicides after watching a video (I think it was Bruce or maybe Yorkshire) posted on the Bridges thread. Shook me to the core watching it, seriously makes you think about how deep and dark in your mind mentally you must have to be to take your own life. Its right to try and stop suicides, out of the 30 or so survivors who have been spoken too who jumped off that bridge only one went back and did it again. Apparently when your feet leave the bridge you get that moment of clarity you've been searching for. 

 

Not sure how relevant that is to euthanasia but .... I don't know.

After watching MrsDs older dad deteriorate and more recently my nan, we've got an agreement that if the quality of our lives drops we're taking a one way ticket to Switzerland

Euthanasia is a procedure done under supervision in a medical facility. It's a far cry from jumping off a bridge.

I know what it is. 

[Scooby Dudek]

I agree that people should decide if they wish to die. I get annoyed by what I see as disingenuous statements from the anti lobby. "People shouldn't be bullied into taking their own lives" etc. 

I don't know of a single person who thinks once the law is passed people should be able to be bullied or coerced in it. Very strick and stringent regulations will need to be put in place and the pro lobby believe this as much as anyone.

Has there ever been a more 3 Stacks post on the forum than this?

 

Never change, Stacksy.  Never change.

[Lee909]

I'm honestly not sure. 

 

I agree it should be the individuals choice. Not sure I could go through with it. I know I wouldn't want to be stuck in a bad position, waking up as I did in hospital with the only movement being my fingers and rolling my head to the left I know I couldn't live my life like that. But actually going through with ending things I don't know. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

A person with a terminal disease should have a choice and as long as a process is followed so its left with no doubt this is the wishes of that person then why wouldn't you allow it. Is there pleasure in watching a person suffer. 

 

On a different note I remember listening to a radio presenter saying he's been troubled about death ever since a psychic told him "DO NOT! go towards the light, it is a trap"
