The Right to Die

[hitch0403]

God’s Kingdom—A Government With No Corruption (‎2 occurrences)
(Matthew 4:8-10; John 14:30) Even when Jesus was being tortured to death, he was so determined to maintain his integrity that he refused a drug that would have dulled the pain but might also have left him without full command of his senses.

I think we lose fact that Jesus cried out to his father,"why have you forsaken me"This shows the pain and suffering must have been great.

If one is suffering to that point God would understand drugs used as medicine for comfort would be justified.A gun to ones mouth and blowing your head offf.......i dont think so!!

Wow what a touchy subject to talk about. Too touchy to say really. Your judged anyway.

[dwiley11]

that is a dangerous slope

I really have mixed feelings.  It certainly seems like the humane option for folks that are already dying.  I just hate to see the government get into such a personal matter, one way or another.

i think everyone who is terminal should have the right to choose when they die.  my aunt by marriage has ms.  in the 10 short years that i have known her she has gone from a woman who was able to care for herself walk talk eat to a woman who has to sit in a motorized chair in a nursing home she is only 52 she can barely eat can barely talk cannot use her hands or lower body at all.  she has chosen to no longer do any medical treat such as the next step of ventilation and tube feedings.  this is her right she has made the choice and i commend her on it.

i believe people don't have the right to terminate their own lives. it is suicide. God says so.

This is a touchy subject. I think it is a personal choice if you are terminally ill.

People should have that right considering how unguaranteed life can be. Living on is ideal but living a life in vain to some is pointless.

OK, I am Catholic so for the spiritual way of thinking, God is the one that decides when you should go.  As for the personal decision it is your choice, if you want to terminate before God takes you then that is your decision and you will respond to your maker when you go, but I do not agree with the Government trying to tell me what I can and cannot do, the same goes for abortion.

The Right to Die law is a great idea and people should have the right to end their discomfort.

[champak97]

Each person has the right to choose if he/she needs to end their life due to terminally ill conditions,

[clickers]

Well it's a decision that should lye in the hands of the individual. Keep in mind if someone pulls the cords from your tubes etc. they cause your demise because it was not involuntary.

i think it's only right if the person will live a life of great pain should have that choice!

[gaby_ro_2004]

Every person has the right to choose.

i think if thats what the person wants or would want then its fine,,,,,,
