A life well-lived, a death journey unexpected : Comments

By David Swanton, published 6/11/2015

Thousands of Australians have procured and are procuring their illegal drugs, just so they have the option of dying before their pain and suffering becomes unbearable.

I am currently in hospital with terminal lung cancer I have maybe a couple of weeks left.I am not religious in the in the formal sense but l suspect there are forces beyond the those understood by science as I have had a number premonitions that have come true in my lifetime.

As far as wishing to depart early goes I like the option should be available but I am disgusted by the idea people should be encouraged to go early fo economic reasons.

Hi Warmair,

I wish you the best of luck. If you do go - I don't know whether this is good or bad news - you will probably see a lot of us there with you, sooner or later.

Thank you for your contributions. Think of the good times.

Joe

Thanks you for your kind words. I don't expect anything beyond this world but I fear for what man, will do this world. I have enjoyed the exchange of ideas on this site even when I strongly disagree the opposing views.

For Warmair and others

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

These words come from Someone who never lied

Whatever the arguments, the fact is that the overwhelming majority of the population supports voluntary euthanasia.

Among the terminally ill, opinion is divided. Some prefer to let nature take its horrible course, others want to end their own suffering and the psychological suffering of their loved ones.

Death is not democratic. Neither is it moral. I've known absolute arseholes who have died suddenly and peacefully, and I've know lovely people who have been subjected to deaths that are beyond belief in their sustained torture.

Voluntary euthanasia gives us all some control over the manner of our own death, whether we wish to take advantage of it or not.

Why it's still being refused to us as a basic human right is anyone's guess. I believe it all comes down to politics. If the current leaders of the world - i.e. the US, UK and EU - were to officially sanction voluntary euthanasia, then lapdog countries like Australia would leap-frog all over themselves to pass the legislation required

Q, is it a coincidence that communists want to mercy kill older conservative voters & lower the voting age to younger communist voters?
