The right to die is a debate that could run forever BUT unless you have actually been in that position & lived through it it’s easy to make sweeping statements & even easier to quote documentation from the Net .

So you’re saying this wasn’t you, having a dig/baiting me ?

YES I am !!

As I said it wasnt directed at anyone.

The topic of this thread is an awful place for anyone to be & the reality of it for the person & the people left behind is awful.

Now please don’t ruin somer’s thread with your nonsense.

Wasn’t I the person who added the documentation from the net and make the “sweeping statements” (as you claim)? If not me, who were you referring to?

It was a comment meant in reply to the nature of the thread Blossom

It is easy makes statements & quote from the net  when you aren’t in that situation. Dealing with the reality is a totally different matter!

If you want to take EVERY word I type personal to you then fill your boots  …. you really aren’t that important so please dont flatter yourself.

Now please back off & stop trying to trash a damn good thread.

Interesting posts from gerry and arc. Blossom, you just to very firm conclusions far too quickly. I’ve often said that there’s something called giving the benefit of the doubt. Just because you were taken for a ride by someone unnamed and taken for a ride bigtime, doesn’t mean that everyone here is the same. We’re not all goody goody two-shoes, but nor are we all trolls and tricksters.

Interesting post Skep…very interesting.

I make points on my personal experience re “terminally ill”, and all you see is me jumping to conclusions regarding a person  who posted who is obviously a baiter/wind up merchant?

Did you read my posts here and did you read Arc’s in reference to me ?

As for being taken for a ride by an un-named person, what can I say….

To claim the above you must know much more than what has ever been typed in main or been said by me … actually to claim  the above, you must be the one taking the person for a ride …or somehow involved in it; it’s not something you can judge on snippets of information.

Just for you again Arc, as you seem to have missed them first time around.

Well if the suffering becomes too much and I no longer have control over my own life (as in there is no way out),  why not?

I’ve witnessed terminally ill with both my parents …. and believe me, they were both very bad trips…..for them….and me.

I don’t have any children and no longer have my parents, so perhaps it would be easier for me to decide.
But then again, if I still had my parents and had children not sure it would matter; at the end of the day it’s my life and the end would be still the same, with it being terminal…it’s just a matter of weeks/months.
Pain relief is fine, but when you get to the point where morphine and sedatives interfere with your everyday life, I find it’s just a waiting room to death.
Watching someone slowly waste away is a horrible experience; you’re helpless and so are your loved ones.
It’s something I would not want to put anyone through.
Dignitas is a lengthy process, I presume, so one would have to be in the early stages of terminal to be able to decide on it.
I think the law should change; we should have the right to choose to die if we’re in a terminally ill condition and it should be done at home, possibly with a similar method that’s used by Dignitas.
I also think a law should be passed regarding life support on a machine.
I think we should  be given the choice of this beforehand (leave something written), in case anything happens to us ( if we were no longer able to decide if and when it should happen).
