But I don't understand the need to become some kind of cheerleader.
This is a decision which should involve her and her family, not doctors, politicians, or even the law, for that matter.
yes, i am not in favor of people being cheerleaders for this. it’s extremely difficult. i’m not pro-death, i frigging hate death, but in the case of my pets, they were old and sick and dying and they had no chance of recovering andbeing out of pain, so death is a release for them, and i know they go back to God, their creator. hurt like hell to do this but they’d have just suffered more and i couldn’t do anything anymore to help them. didn’t want tovsee them go but one day i get them back. if our human loved ones are in the same boat, and they want this, and are actually in the process of dying, shutting down, and it’s a matter of days to the same end, if it’s a very high criteria process, i would understand people wanting this option.
again, i say it appears this woman was not in the dying process, i would not have advocated them doing this to her as she was. she was dealing with the illness, not in the dying process. i would reserve this only for people who ar actually dying.
