We are forbidden to murder[01] Once one discards that
commandment, one is entering *undefined* territory.
One should not expect decency in *any* actions outside
the boundaries of the sanctity of life. This means that
one *cannot* expect a swift painless death, that one
will receive the “right” fatal chemical, that one won’t
be tortured, etc. ad infinitium. in-fines no limit.
[01] self defence and legal executions are a different
subject, OK?
I was being sarcastic...you see, the “assisted suicide” movement often seduces the proud, but more often it is done because the person feels like a burden on their relatives...so when the relatives agree, they’re stuck with their choice...
If it was done for the patient, he would have slowly fallen asleep and died a few hours later. Many suicides even would change their mind if they didn’t have a “caretaker” holding their hand and encouraging them to relax and die....Because it was done for the relatives and the TV , the guy essentially wasn’t even given the last chance to change his mind...he had to be “hurried” along, so he died painfully.
I was pointing out the symptoms suggested this coercion part.
Like abortion of retarded/disabled kids, the propaganda is that the kids would suffer, but the real story is that the parents do it because they don’t want to be burdened (often they are frightened by medical personnel to chose abortion by medical personnel who exaggerate the problems, not the blessings...).
