“Is there not a cause” in Oregon for those of us who believe in the sanctity of life?

It ain’t “suicide” if someone else is involved

I thought the record was set by the people who voted for Zero in 2008.

Thanks CHRISTIAN DIARIST.

Well Oregon is really a good progressive state. Abort the babies, shame the old people into suicide, and aid and abet the queers, freaks and perverts. Are Oregon and Washington State wanabe Californicates?

They probably filled out 20 mail-in ballots each just before offing themselves.

I've always said suicide is the only logical conclusion for a dedicated environmentalist. That's why I know it is a mental illness because they largely don't kill themselves. They just expect you to die, not themselves.

As a life long Oregonian, I reckon at least 50% of Oregon citizens came from California. They say they came to escape California, but in reality, they brought it with them. I went to a party once where everyone was asked to state where they come from. our of 23 people, only 3 were native Oregonians.

So sad for you. I think most of Europe will be saying something similar in the near future as they learn Arabic, carry their prayer rugs and sink back into the 14th Century.

I must disagree
I have witnessed my mother die horribly and painfully due to cancer. She knew it was coming to an end as soon as she was placed in hospice under dr’s orders. “Nothing more could be done” we were told. She begged myself and my brother to end it. Not very many pain meds were available as she was allergic to most of them-they might kill her ya know. Three weeks! My mom was a tough lady, yet I would be jailed, labeled as not god fearing, or worse by some if we gave into her wishes. I believe god will judge me for letting the woman who in pain brought me into this world, suffer as she did.
I’ll be damned I guess if it were me, because I’d do it myself before I ever get to that place. That certainly isn’t sanctity of life. That’s ordered torture on a human being what she went through. Not everyone gets the death they want and nobody gets out of life physically alive. I had nightmares for months about that.
The hero’s who take a bullet for loved ones knowing they are going to perish are judged the same? Anyone ever witness a tramatic car wreck where bodies flew and were crushed but lived for 10-15 min? I know for a fact they were asking it to stop. What about my living will? I’m a DNR and an organ donor. I will give my last bit of time on earth to possibly help others. Someone will have to make the call when the Dr asks what time is it. Who are any of you to judge me? But if you must judge these actions people take or want to take staring down what’s coming, then i’ll judge you. For shame!
Again, I disagree
BTW I’m going through cancer now. And god willing i’ll beat it down like a rented goalie!

Put your sufferings at the foot of the Cross. Give them to God.

These people who commit suicide in this fashion have lost hope. I can see that you haven’t.

God bless

There's a famous physicist, Percy Bridgman, who killed himself in the terminal stages of cancer:

Bridgman committed suicide by gunshot after living with metastatic cancer for some time. His suicide note read in part, "It isn't decent for society to make a man do this thing himself. Probably this is the last day I will be able to do it myself."

I did, I left it there fair and square.
I don’t think of what i’ve seen very often until I see posts from an author with one side of the story. I don’t want to candy coat what I believe, yet I know for a fact there are instances where humans will beg for the end. Especially if they know what’s up for them. There are many people on this planet that can and will make any person beg for the end, if they so choose. Torturers comes to mind. The victims should not be judged.
I pray to god, and for my family, and to/for our human condition.
Good night, Salvation
