mugofcoffee says: I would like to choose my own death, instead of being bound by the social non sense... In this country, you'll get it when somebody powerful figures out how to make a lot of money from it. Me too Mug....but I wonder when us Indians will finally see things this way....our Supreme Court currently doesn't think the right to life given to us by our Constitution includes a right to death....if that makes any sense..... In a recent landmark case in Australia, a paraplegic won the right to starve to death - not a nice way to go, but he saw that as his only legal way out. I sense some more dramatic cases coming up because a lot of us are appalled at this denial of the right to a peaceful exit. Old and damaged people know when it is time to fight and time to say "enough is enough". Why do we take away dignity from those who most deserve it? "NON-VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA" The Next Station Stop On The Death Train To Hell [An ethical adviser to the British Medical Association has firmly backed non-voluntary euthanasia for patients who are too ill to ask for death. Professor Len Doyal, an emeritus professor of medical ethics and a member of the BMA's ethics committee, writes in the new Royal Society of Medicine journal Clinical Ethics that dignity in dying sometimes means that doctors should kill their patients.] The 1973 U.S.A. legalization of Abortion was the first step on the Slippery Slope of the Solution to the Malthusian Problem of how to best implement "Herd Control." "Death with Dignity" came next. Now with a world populati... In "Soylent Green" they had suicide clinics. And who knows if death is a bad thing? That's a mere assumption. No doubt, the fear of death may be awful for some, I'm sure, but nobody knows about death itself. There's a 50 / 50 chance, it's something wonderful! Well, there's actually, good, bad and *nothingness* to choose from, so there's really only a 33.3% chance it's something bad. I see death, as having a ticket to a concert, yet not knowing which band's playing, until I get there. It may rock! It may not. But we're all going to the concert sooner or later. It's exciting! It's worrying. It's scary. It's an adventure! It could be whatever! Death is such a terrible taboo, yet I don't ... I would like to be able to choose to check out with dignity early, if pain or suffering got to be just too much to bear. For sure.Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night = 4) document.write(''); // --> Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And lea... The dignity in life and in death IS the most important thing for an individual, than the so-called norms of the Govt.The individual should be the best judge of his/her circumstances, taking into account the health issues, the monetary situation, the support system and the works! It's better to be dead rather than ending up as a vegetable, depending upon others, or to be stranded in the streets suffering from ill-health, without any means of financial support system at the old age etc etc. I wonder when was the last time the Govt has ever bothered about our individual life situations that gives it any right to be bothered about our individual death situations... The dignity in life and in death IS the most important thing for an individual, than the so-called norms of the Govt.The individual should be the best judge of his/her circumstancesYes, mugofcoffee, I agree. In 1977, age 40, I was sentenced to 65 years in prison, essentially a death sentence. After three months in prison, the loss of freedom became intolerable and I began a fast-until-death, preferring to starve myself to death, rather than to be incarcerated.
