Lethal doses are not medicine, they are murder
THERE EXISTS IN CONTEMPORARY CULTURE a certain Promethean attitude which leads people to think that they can control life and death by taking the decisions about them into their own hands.…What really happens in this case is that the individual is overcome and crushed by a death deprived of any prospect of meaning or hope. We see a tragic expression of all this in the spread of euthanasia-disguised and surreptitious, or practised openly and even legally. As well as for reasons of a misguided pity at the sight of the patient’s suffering, euthanasia is sometimes justified by the utilitarian motive of avoiding costs which bring no return and which weigh heavily on society. Thus it is proposed to eliminate malformed babies, the severely handicapped, the disabled, the elderly, especially when they are not self-sufficient, and the terminally ill. Pope John-Paul II, —Evangelium Vitae §15
Well you can thank Big Pharma that you cannot easily get Cannibis oil which is curing cancer right and left.
I have told people for years, “if you want my help with your recreational pharmaceuticals you have come to the wrong place.”. I suppose by extension I would say if you want my help with euthanasia you are mistaken, that is not what I do.
And I will say this, I flunked “Death and Dying” because I started the second of a two question essay on the test with, “Sometimes we treat our pets better than we treat each other”. Having seen my mother die of cancer when I was fifteen made me consider things like euthanasia. The experience of subsequent decades taught me to know better. If there is one profession that demands total integrity it is “physician”. If you can’t commit to that, please, for God’s sake, do something else. Your life will just be hell and so will everyone you interact with.
