When I originally started this blog, I wanted to discuss physician assisted suicide. I think it should be more readily available in certain circumstances and it should be their decision not the family or government.
I do not think it should be available to those who are not terminally ill.
When the quality of life becomes non-existing and each minute is unbearable why not? When each moment spent is excruciating why not? If an animal was suffering we euthanize if we choose not to we are called cruel and inhumane. But It's okay for humans to suffer?
Could I make this decision for myself or a loved one? I don't know. My condition is not terminal but I do have considerable pain. My pain is controlled with medication. And because of my belief in God termination of my own life is not an option. But I see and have seen the end of life because of terminal illness.
Because I have seen many illnesses run their course I think those suffering should have a choice.
If you read my last post then you know I have a loved one with a terminal illness. Uncle R has liver cancer, his kidneys have shut down . He is suffering but is being medicated to ease him. He was moved to a hospice on Monday, he was only given a couple days. I have asked God daily to take him home. He's still hanging on. I pray the medicine keeps him comfortable until his spirit leaves his body.
May God lay his loving hands on our family during this time of grief.
