Fana McCloud Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 But well, if they choose not to be cured,right, but then do not ask for an easyroute. I hate when people want it to beeverything easy. Sure, you are in greatpain, and you can not be cured? Okay,we can put you to sleep if you wish.If you CAN be cured and do not want to,well, it is okay, but then do not ask tobe put to sleep.Well if people shouldn't have things easy, then maybe we shouldn't even be here talking - the Internet just makes it too gosh darn easy to communicate, after all. We should all be using smoke signals instead. Seriously, if taking the easy route doesn't directly harm someone else, why is it such an issue with you?

We should all be using smoke signals instead. Seriously, if taking the easy route doesn't directly harm someone else, why is it such an issue with you?In other words: When you canbe cured, all that is left is non-physicalpain, should you have that.Therefore, we return to the situation"I want to suicide because I lost bla,bla,bla...ect." I have already stated myposition on that. Do you have a condition -which regardless of painful or not, does notallows you to live life to full, and can not be reversed? - Fine, then you can ask to beput to sleep.If you have no physical pain at all, or havea disease/situation that DOES have a cure/solution,and after applying it you WILL get better, then itno longer becomes a 'will get worse' solution.Fell free to use the raiload tracks, jump from a highplace, ect.And I do not consider the Internet an 'easy' route,to be honest, because I have an USB modem whichis as slow as a snail sometimes. LAN runs way faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, not all opinions can be resolved to something rational that respects peoples' individual rights - sometimes you just have to agree to disagree. This is probably one of those cases.And I do not consider the Internet an 'easy' route,to be honest, because I have an USB modem whichis as slow as a snail sometimes. LAN runs way faster. It's still WAY easier and faster than non-technologically based methods of communication - personal handicaps in the area of your Internet connection notwithstanding. XD You don't even need a LAN to get good speeds, you just need an ethernet based modem. The fact that ISPs seem to be pushing USB modems left and right while also advertising "blazingly fast speeds!" makes me facepalm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably one of those cases.No idea what you are trying to callme with that. Yes, I am not 100%leftist. I am NOT 'Democratic' (Ithink I already stated that before).To be honest, this is issue is, to me,broken down to this:1] A person has a dissease or situation which is unsolvavle in the long term.2] The person request the right to die.3] I grant it.Where this chain break? In point 1]!If THERE IS a cure, then the 'automatic'deal is to be cured. Euthanasia is fine for'no-go' situations, but when YOU CAN getbetter, the best choice is to get better.The person who does not want to get curedis no less than the emo who does not wantsto live anymore but has no illness at all.If they do not want to be cured, fine, butthis is no longer a 'no-go' situation (becauseregardless of your chooice you CAN be cured.)

Euthanasia is fine for'no-go' situations, but when YOU CAN getbetter, the best choice is to get better.The main sticking point is that you presume to know what is "best" for another person, and would have your will enforced upon them (that is, prohibiting euthanasia to someone whose condition is by your definition curable), when what they want isn't a detriment to anyone else. I think that a person should be able to choose for themselves without others interfering. That is what I was implying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I was implying.I mean no offense,- but as I see it - choosingto not be cured from a curabledissease (that in the long termwill ensure in periods of pain),to me it is just simple, blatantstupidity. Everyone has theirown choices, even being a dummy.BUT that does not means that Ilike it when people act like dummies.In this case, if a man/woman/other beingdoes not wants to be cured, KNOWING thatsuch dissease CAN be cured, and if not curedwill result in periods of pain, I see it as - repeatingmysef - blatant stupidity. It is okay to ask forthe death 'deal' if you are in need to, because I donot want any citizen to suffer from a non-curable/non-reversable situation. But when that situationis reversable, then the best course of action isto reverse it. If you choose not to, fine, but thendo not come crying later when the pain is toomuch to bear.

It just depends on the person and their situation. I don't like it when people act like dummies by my definition either. But if they only harm themselves in the process, they can be as stupid as they want in my book. Doesn't mean I won't make fun of 'em though. XD But I wouldn't dream of infringing on someone's right to conduct their own lives (and deaths) according to whatever makes THEM happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully welcoming Euthanaisa willcause the death of many in easiersituations, when just taking a little time toovercome them is enought. Letting peopletake it if they choose not to be cured isfoolish. Everyone has the freedom to doas they wish, and an alternative must allwaysexists. That is it - AN - alternative. Whenthe choice someone takes is obviously foolish,however, then they see the foolish resultsof their actions.Same situation: the hand is close to a hot pan.If know that keeping it there will result inlater pain, so why not remove it? But it is okay, ifchoose to keep it there, fine. But when laterpain comes, it comes, and a fool has been a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
