Euthanasia, Let Me Hear Your Opinion?

Euthanasia, Do You Have an Opinion?

During an intense interview with Dr. Jack Kevorkian, he said, “Anybody who’s facing imminent and unavoidable death should be given the choice to die humanely in an acceptable environment. This is self-determination…based on the autonomy of the person’s life. Thus, is Dr. Kevorkian a hero who helps suffering people end their misery with dignity…or a villain who has usurped the almighty power to decide who should live.”

Thousand of people have come face to face with an incurable disease, and for many they know they’re going to become helpless, as well as, the medical cost to their loved one will be great. Historically, this subject is so taboo that to even to write about this subject, resonates a vibration of discomfort, not by me, but for concern about the people who will be reading this article.

It’s similar to trying to tell people they should write a will, a living will and they just don’t want to discuss it. It’s this a big secret. Yes, we will all die someday, just as there is a new bloom of a beautiful rose that shines bright with the shear sight of it. An awesome rose, which will slowly fade in a matter of days, then weather away and die. We celebrate a birth of a new child, even though; this child will grow up and die. The wise words are, “it is the journey that counts.”

We are the only creatures on this planet that is AWARE!…To be aware of this can be a very painful experience, what is the point? Why are we here on Earth, what is this all relating too? We will be gone in a blink of an eye. So why is medicide (Dr. Jacks, word) in special cases so illegal? There are a few states now that have euthanasia now, legal with a terminally ill patient. They can decide the time, once the pain becomes too hard to bear. The only real issue here is a personal issue, a choice, not a courtroom battle or a religious forum.

Now, imagine a person that has Alzheimer’s disease, there is a summit of no return, when you will never recollect anyone close to you, you will develop into a person too difficult to handle and when it become to demanding on your family, you then are dispense over to strangers to care for you in a sad and strange home. If, you know the pending out come of this nasty disease, you can plan ahead before you disappear. It’s like you see fog up ahead of you, over time the fog get’s closer and closer to you. When you start to enter the fog, it becomes hard to see, and sound seems to be coming in all directions. Then you get lost in the fog, and disappear, never to be seen or heard from again. You died in that fog, you lost who you are. Why would anyone want to put their family or themselves through this?

All I am doing is weighing and lumbering in this hub and asking questions, to nudge you to think about this subject. To make a wise comment in this great debate of the ages, SUICIDE, is what many call this. So, why are we bothered so much about what this? Some strangers’ choice to choose his/her time of death? Why is our medicine in the stone ages? Why an adult human being in sound mind in body being told they are breaking the law if they want to die? Dr. Jack, talks a lot about using their good organs to save lives. Life of the people who want to live and who are healthy, where a new organ can bring a quality of life back to them.

We have all lost loved ones; some have affected me in such a profane, way. I have watched friends and family with the worse cancer, fight so hard for life. Why, when the outcome is inevitable. Why do people what to live, even in when their last few months, by taking Chemo, this is so toxic and causes them to be deathly sick? I am talking about quality of life. Every person can’t live to be 101 years old, individuals who do live that long, make it on the front page of the news paper.

Finally, I want to convey my curiosity over this area under discussion, and why so many countless people call it a sin, why is the state implicated in our personal planning of our lives. What is it that makes this topic so heated? Don’t get me wrong, I am all for life, however by writing this hub, it gives me an opportunity to think out load, I am a straight shooter and when I get a brain wave, I like to get answers, to be honest I am perplexed.
