No,euthanasia is not legal in Switzerland, only assisted suicide. In the Netherlands euthanasia is legal, along with the former "Dutch" lands, Belgium and Luxembourg, the only countries in the world.
@livinglegend1187 why the fuck do people like you feel the need to write immature shitty wit comment like that? you don't understand the situation he is in, i expect he's sat up there thinking, good riddance.
i have all the respect in the world for that guy, and i hope you contract the worse possible disease, ebola would be great for you, die you cunt.
@GAMErsRULERZ123 what's this shit? Mind your own business dude, Euthanasia is not equal to your statement at all. Go and read the rule before going through euthanasia. I believe in sin, but I also believe that there are circumstances that we have to be the sinner for the better world
if you belive authanasia should be legalised in the uk go to epetion.com and search legalise authanasia and sign the petition. any petition that gets over 100,000 signatures will be discussed in parliment so thumbs up this comment so we can change the law. it onlyt takes a few seconds and it can make a diffrence
@robertwilsong The epetitions site won't let me sign the petition because I'm not a resident of the UK. Anyway, good luck with that. I think euthanasia is a wonderful thing.
For the record, I am a Republican Christian, and I don't blame this man for ending his life. To my knowledge, nowhere in the Bible does it say you are committing an abomination by committing suicide if you are suffering and have a terminal prognosis.
And I want to stress, I am VERY conservative and VERY Christian. I just believe people should have the liberty to make this difficult decision.
Personally, I believe in an ancient jewish zombie that symbolically died for my sins so I could telepathically live through him. And if you don't? I'm gonna persecute you.
i think chronic illnesses and terminal illnesses are just as bad as the other one...except one actually has something to look forward to...the other one should cruise through life suffering forever
PENSA EM SE SUICIDAR? PARE; PENSE; REFLITA... LEIAM PARTE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 E 7
PARTE 1: “Sua vida não tem valor”. “Ninguém se importa com você”. “Mate-se, e todo seu sofrimento vai acabar”. Será que pensamentos como estes têm sondado a sua mente, ao ponto de fazê-lo pensar que nunca mais viverá dias felizes?
Muitas pessoas, não conseguindo mais suportar a tristeza, a depressão e o vazio de suas almas, acabam chegando ao ápice do radicalismo, ao darem cabo de suas próprias vidas.
Outras, levadas pelo desespero, quer pelo término de um relacionamento, ou devido a uma forte crise financeira, pensam seriamente em tirar suas vidas, como se esta opção fosse a única solução. A última porta a ser aberta.
No entanto, o que essa pessoa não sabe é que, acabando com a vida, acaba-se também com a única oportunidade que ela teria de verdadeira solução para o seu problema.
Pois, é somente quando se está vivo, que a pessoa tem a chance de ser ajudada e ter sua vida transformada.
Eliminar algo finito e com prazo de validade, como é o caso do nosso corpo, não é pior do que ter algo eterno, como é a nossa alma, sendo levada ao pior de todos os sofrimentos: uma eternidade sem paz, literalmente.
Se o suicida raciocinasse, jamais pensaria em se matar. Isto porque seu poder de matar diz respeito apenas ao seu corpo e não a sua alma.
Se uma pessoa arrancasse sua língua, ficaria sem falar, mas continuaria vivendo; se lhe vazassem os olhos, ainda assim estaria vivo; se lhe arrancassem os braços e as pernas, mesmo assim sua vida continuaria, porque sua alma ocuparia o restante.
Isto é, o ser humano tem poder sobre o corpo físico, mas não sobre o espiritual. Ele pode fazer o que quiser com o seu corpo, mas com sua alma, nada pode fazer. Nem ao menos, tocá-la.
É nisso que as pessoas, que pensam em se matar, deveriam refletir. Se elas acabassem com sua vida, isto é, com seu corpo físico, para onde iria sua alma, já que ela é imortal?
Será mesmo que os problemas do suicida afetam somente o seu corpo? E alma desta pessoa que quer se matar, aonde vai parar? Com toda sinceridade, não creio que vá para um lugar de remissão, descanso, ou de preparação para outra suposta vida.
Então, por que acabar com o corpo? Será que, acabando com a matéria, a alma ficará em paz?
Eu tenho uma sugestão: Se você pensa em suicídio; se estas palavras são o retrato do que você está vivendo neste momento, então, experimente fazer um pacto com Deus. Seja sincero para com Aquele que é o criador de toda a vida. Diga a Ele que, se de fato existe e é real, então, que mude sua história para a vida ou para a morte de uma vez!
PARTE FINAL 7 Se houver sinceridade nesse pacto sua vida nunca mais será a mesma. Creia nisso, e você, sem sombra de dúvida, encontrará a paz que tanto almeja! ESTE RECADO É PRA TODOS QUE PENSAM EM SE SUICIDAR! PARE... PENSE... E REFLITA... LEIA TODAS AS PARTES QUE ESTÃO ESCRITAS DESDE A PARTE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 E 7
I'm glad that they're showing complex cases. The first case is a little more cut-and-dry, but the second case gives the viewer a lot to think about, especially when it comes to the wife's personal choice.
The fact that we can "play God" can be proof that there is no God. Or it can mean that our ability to help people was his intention all along. But there are things we do with such power that lean me toward the former. I don't think he'd let us play his game.
She loves her husband more than her children? @_@
Wow....HOW SELFISH!
In cases such of extreme suffering, I would say that assisted sucide is okay. Not for anything else. I think the Dutch law is something the entire world should model all further legeslation on.
Thats the point of this video! It doesn't matter whether or not you support their decision. They have the right to decide when and how they die if they so choose to. It has nothing to do with you or anyone else.
@emywem100 I agree... but if they didn't have kids, I wouldn't encourage them, but if I knew them, I would accept there decision, but not if they had kids I wouldn't encourage it at all and I'd be 100% against it.
I don't know if I would ever have the strength to go through with something like this, I'll never know unless I get put in that situation though.
What I feel would be more upsetting is one of your parents doing this, especially in the case of the woman who could live a healthy existence but is abandoning her children.
He makes a very good point about technology playing the role of god. Organ transplants and other medical treatment, no scratch that all surgical and medical procedures are all effectively playing God. I never thought about that before.
That woman disgusts me. Her poor daughters. Shes basically saying that they aint worth staying alive for. Disgrace. ... As for the man, ive got nothing but respect for him, no point in suffering just waiting for a guaranteed death anyway. Might aswell go pain free and happy in your eyes and in your loved ones eyes.
IT IS NO ONE ELSE'S BUSINESS WHETHER SOMEONE CHOOSES WILLINGLY TO DIE! LOOK AT THIS POOR MAN! IS THIS A WAY TO LIVE? If he wants to die and end his suffering, why can't he? No on is playing God you fools. Worry about your own pathetic little lives, and not the lives of other people. You have clearly NEVER suffered like this, nor have you ever known anyone who has. So you're ignorant. Therefore your comments are irrelevant and you need to go f*ck off. Thanks bye!
How is helping to save a life playing god..trying to create life separate from natural processes is playing God..not trying to save one. God gives us power to save but only God can save from the death of sin
This has me at tears, he was as courageous as an Army Ranger but man, I can't imagine the difficulty with this. He deserves respect and understanding.
In a weird way, I personally think that the old couple has to be the sweetest thing I have heard. Her husband is dying and she doesn't want to be on this earth without him. so they will be in heaven with eachother sooner than later. she cant bare to live without him. If that isn't unconditional love, I dont know what is.
@IWantToTasteDirtyx3 Yes, it would be sweet, if it wasnt for the fact she has 2 daughters that are now going to have to lose BOTH their parents! This woman doesnt love her daughters enough to stay alive for them, to see them have kids, to see her grandkids grow up...
I just can't stand to hear her say " I love my children, but I love my husband more.."...what kind of mother can say something like that? If my mother said something so incredibly hurtful to me i would never forgiver her...I'm a mother and I have 3 young children...never in a million years would I EVER do something like this to my children...and tell the whole world that I would rather die than to be with them...
why does this woman make a point of telling people that she loves her husband more than her children? it's like royal tenenbaum always introducing margot as his adoptive daughter...it's pointless in the context of the conversation and makes you seem like an asshole...just say I love my husband too much to live without him...well supposedly she died of cancer and he didn't kill himself, so as awful a fate as cancer is, I guess the joke is on her ultimately
@manifestgtr I don't know how Betty can she say she loves her husband more than her kids. It's a different kind of love. I love my cat in a different way that I love my parents.I'd like to know why he didn't kill himself if his wife has died.I thought they said they wanted to die together so how come he is still alive? Agree with you totally
People who are as well as that women annoy me, People are dying and begging and praying to live and she is giving her life away. I despise women who say they love there husbands more than there children. She is just afraid to live without him.
@elesha76 you do know 50 years is a very very long time, it's perfectly understandable that she wants to go with her husband. Yes it may look she loves him more than her kids, but she has been with him for far longer. Most relationships do not last for that long.
@elesha76 so you have noticed her fear of living without her husband. if this turns out to be an unbearable pain. what speaks against wanting to end it.?
While this is a very sympathetic portrayal, and it puts all the philosophical and practical reasons for supporting and opposing euthanasia into a great deal of human perspective, he shouldn't put blame on any one group. This is a very complicated issue--you are talking about helping people end their lives, and I would venture to say that it is more than just Christians who have trouble with that idea. People who struggle with where they stand on it shouldn't be demonized as cruel or stupid

@gabby374950 I agree.Craig needed help in doing what he did but that couple could easily do the job themselves. He wants to die because his quality of life is suffering and for the love he has for his family.As for the couple,why don't they just put their heads on a railtrack?? That would kill them easily enough. R.I.P Craig,you brave,brave man
@TheAlienFan That's a stupid question-- it risks maiming yourself instead of dying, traumatizing the family, who would have to identify the mutilated remains, traumatizing the people who are driving the train, making a big mess, wasting taxpayer money on a huge emergency and police response-- it helps no one and is basically the most horrible, wasteful way to handle something like suicide.
@NaturalGrace Not really what I meant. That couple are well capable of ending their lives without going to Switzerland. The man said he would go to a gun range for a year to learn how to handle it then they will shoot themselves.How hard can it be to blow his brains out?
Tough for me to watch as I was diagnosed with ALS 3 months ago. Already I am in a wheelchair and my arms are very weak. I don't think I can face the final stages of being fed through a tube in my stomach, breathing through a vent and paralysed and unable to speak. I expect I will do like Craig and check out early under my terms. The drug used by dignitas can be acquired easily enough.

@latinluigi No, he actually bless his sickness, because thanks to it he had the oportunity to concentrate on mental issues about the universe and forget about body/materialistic issues.
@GhostWritersDragon it's risky if you don't know what you're doing. in the early days of assisted suicide in the usa (led by dr jack kavorkian - a much-undervalued proponent and practitioner of assisted suicide), even a fellow doctor visited dr kavorkian because he was worried he would make a mistake and leave himself even worse off. plus its far easier than attempting to acquire painkillers of sufficient strength, and then commiting suicide yourself while sedated.
Mr. Ewart was a rational and brave man. It must be hard to make the decision he did. And to go to the trouble of letting themselves have a movie out of this difficult moment--thank you, Ewart family.
Not talking religion here. But I've been a paramedic for 17 years. That is NOT playing God. It's the ability to save a life that keeps us going. It's because we care about people in general. Regardless of race, ethnicity, religion ect... We do what we do because we like to do it. This guy wants to talk about religious people "playing God" only because he's never done it. I cannot imagine this guy in Heaven right now because of the things he said and implied before his death.
If you think there is a god and that god is omnipotent and omniscient, then every illness and disease, every death, is according to God's plan. And doctors and paramedics etc. stop or delay death. I think that's what he meant.
"I cannot imagine this guy in Heaven right now because of the things he said and implied before his death."
@TwinSmoke You theists will never realize just how offensive it is to believe that anyone could be justified to suffer the torments of Hell. Not even Hitler deserves such a barbaric and cruel state of being. An infinite punishment for a finite act can and never will be justified. It's unfathomable to think that you Christians actually believe you have the moral high ground... Pathetic.
@MontegoFilms Not pathetic at all. True Christians try to live higher on the morality spectrum than athiests. And if you don't believe in God, I promise you that one day, in this life or the next, you will. But I'm not here to preach or try and bestow my theology on anyone else. We could argue about this all day for years and it will still not change my beliefs. Nor will it change yours.
@TwinSmoke And your beliefs may not change (which I find sad,) but my beliefs are susceptible to change, and they would change in an instant if you would meet my standards of evidence. Also, there's a difference between preaching and arguing. I'm perfectly content if you are arguing for your case, but do not worry, I will let you know when you start to preach.
@MontegoFilms So are you asking me for proof that the big bang theory never happened? If you are, I have a ton of proof. And if I can prove that the big bang theory is flawed in all kinds of ways. Then how is it that you think we got here?
@TwinSmoke Craig brilliantly conveys the inconsistencies and hypocrisies found within religious people's reasoning. Just because you cannot connect the dots does not falsify his analogy. Taking someone's life is playing God just the same as prolonging someone's life. (This is by using your own logic if you were to remain consistent) By the way, your last comment has stripped away any respect I would have had for you.
@MontegoFilms Ok, this is the internet. Your thoughts on respecting me mean absolutely nothing. I voice my opinions the same way you voice yours. And you're right. Taking someone's life is playing God. Saving a life however is not. God gave us the gift of life and the intelligence to be able to save it.
@TwinSmoke His reasoning is that Christians believe God has a plan for everything, and that includes when people die. If we interfere with God's 'work' it is considered heretical and therefore sinful. It is quite clear from text found in scripture that Yahweh has a problem with suicide, and so suicide is forbidden in the Christian theology; punishable by eternal torment in Hell of course. Most US citizens are Christian and therefore most US citizens are against giving people their right to death
@MontegoFilms If God did have a plan and made sure we followed through with it, that would enter the realm of free will. Something that God swore not to interfere with. As far as eternity? The scripture states that God can send you to hell for a billion lifetimes. Do the math. If everyone lived to be 100 years old. That's a hundred billion years plus everyday is a thousand years. It would come out to hundreds of millions of trillions of years. That's a long ass time.
@TwinSmoke There are verses in the Bible that explicitly describe that Hell is eternal, and not finite as you have just suggested. Regardless, can you think of any act committed by a human that is worthy of being punished, by way of torture, for a billion lifetimes? (Please answer that question.)
'True Christians try to live higher on the morality spectrum than athiests.'
I would disagree that Christians are following a higher 'morality spectrum' than atheists or anyone for that matter.
@MontegoFilms Absolutely. Hitler, Stalin, Saddam Hussein, any idiot that kills himself while killing others. There are plenty of reasons why there is a hell in the first place. I mean, if you think everyone goes to Heaven automatically, that would be like putting Adolf Hitler and Mother Theresa on the same level. IF you are a murderer, rapist, thief or whatever, you will have to eventually answer for that.
Christians do have a greater morality. They have rules to live by. Athiests do not.
@TwinSmoke It wasn't exactly what I asked for, but I'd like to see your arguments discrediting the big bang theory. If I find that they are of any worth, I'd recommend sending an article for peer review. As for Hitler, Stalin, and Hussein, I posit that neither of them deserve an infinite amount of punishment. Surely you can see the injustice of condemning a finite act to an infinite damnation. Do you know how long an infinity is? The googolplex would not even fill 0.01% of an infinite's domain.
@TwinSmoke And talking about Mother Theresa, you are aware that she became an atheist in the last few years of her life? So according to your own Holy Book, she IS in the same level of that of Hitler.
You are right when you state that atheism has no moral basis to offer. But it doesn't because it shouldn't. Would you expect a moral compass from your non belief of unicorns? No, of course not, because that would be silly!
@MontegoFilms I don't know where you get your information from, but Mother Theresa was a nun all of her life and she died as a nun. She was NEVER an athiest. That statement within it's self is just ridiculous. If she was an athiest, she would have been kicked out of the Catholic community. But she wasn't. So that imformation is terribly flawed and fictional.
@TwinSmoke If you are at all into reading, I suggest picking up Teresa's 'Come Be My Light.' There are a series of letters written by Teresa herself, where by you will find quotes like... 'Where is my faith? Even deep down… there is nothing but emptiness and darkness... If there be God — please forgive me'
and..
'Jesus has a very special love for you, [But] as for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see, — Listen and do not hear'
@MontegoFilms Every SINGLE person that is religious questions their faith at some point or another. There's nothing unusual there. But this is the reason that Mother Theresa died as a Christian. And this is documented if you'd like to look it up. But once, Mother Theresa had an exorcism. That is the ONLY reason the Catholic church has not made her a saint. But if you can show me proof that she was an Athiest, I'll admit I'm wrong.
@TwinSmoke There is no question she, at the very least, questioned her faith. But what do you call a person who looks for God but does not find him? Seems to me, as unbiasedly as I can infer, that she was an atheist the last few years of her life. She may not have liked it, but that doesn't change the reality. According to her letters, she died with her doubts. Even if you still do not accept that she lost her faith in God, ponder this...
@TwinSmoke Does a person as ethical and loving as Teresa, who devoted her life to serving the poor, deserve to be tortured and tormented in a lake of fire for the rest of eternity? Not because of some terrible deed or act like murder, but because she did not presume the correct set of beliefs at the time of her death?
@MontegoFilms Have you ever even read a single page of the bible? Because it says specifically that if you do not beleive in God, or if your in some kind of tribe and never even heard of him, as long as you live your life the way God wants you to, then you shall inherit eternal life. Don't believe me? Google it.
@TwinSmoke If you're theology is correct, and the letters written by her very self legitimate, then she is without a doubt suffering insufferable pain at this very moment. Do you think this is right. Do you see any shed of morality in this supposed reality? (Don't ignore this question)
@TwinSmoke I will argue that we don't derive our morality from God or religion, but that we achieve it from other mediums, as the social species that we are. Whether you realize it or not, Christians and Atheists get their morality from the same place.
@MontegoFilms We do derive our moral being from God. Even our human laws are based on the bible. It's always been that way and it always will be. Alot of the earliest humans found had spearheads in their ribcages. That's what we call progress. Although humans still kill humans on a daily basis, it's hard to imagine us ever making it past the jurasic period.
Absolutely wonderful video, and awesome commentary by Craig, especially regarding the right-to-die, which I'm an avid supporter of, as an Administrator of the Final Exit Network forum (Arysyn). I could comment alot about the specifics of this video. However, Craig said it best as he did. Everyone deserves the right-to-die, and Craig was a great speaker for it, especially in this video.
Anyone who has lived through a family or friend enduring a painful illness death will agree with euthanasia! I only hope they make it legal in more countries and is available to more people
It is the individuals choice. If you can kill an unborn fetus how is it wrong to kill yourself? We're all going to die eventually, some people are open to facing it sooner and on their own terms. I don't blame these people for not wanting for their families to suffer or to feel pain. I don't know if I could do this myself but I should have the right to do so if I please.
I respect that people believe in God, but this has NOTHING to with religion!! It is fair that people choose assisted suicide.. Try to put yourself in their place, instead of talking about bibles and so on!
@shorteylove i agree. if your religion forbids sucide, then don't commit suicide. but don't assume that your religious convictions should be applicable to those who don't share them.
Mother suffers by carrying her baby for 6-7 months and outmost pain at delivery. Some say single cry is equal to a month of suffering. but we here today, generations after generations coming. no mother complained her rest of life, but enjoys by seeing her baby
Human life is a just travel. Just you get on, continue journey and get off. As easy as it is. It is not eternal. we are not here to live forever. Thank for Allah what has been granted, See happiness in others, enjoy from it than becoming selfish. One who suicide for the sake of this world, will enter hell according to Islam.
where is this world going? God please save us!!! people are making everything legal,, what is really left...tell me!!!....do these people have assurance of where they are going?? or it is better to go where you dont know than suffering??...have you ever had of a saying adding salt to an injury??....
just pray that the people of this world should get an understanding!!!!
Go preach Allah to people who actually care. You should get a more realistic hold on what pain and suffering is with an illness like this man in the video is going through. Your religion and your culture goes to great lengths to hide people with illnesses from the public so please, do not preach to us about being more spiritual: "Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing.". . f'ing hypocrite.
@OneHumanity1 WHAT THE FUCK. Did you hear this all from a book or something? Tell me, do you believe EVERYTHING you read in a book?
The only evidence of allah is in your book. (quran)
Open your fucking eyes and take a look around you, you religious moron, people are in pain everywhere. ALLAH IS NOT HELPING THEM IS HE?
Its perfectly ok for people to Kill themselves for allah isnt it? Lets say... flying into the side of tall buildings? Take your religious bullshit where its actually wanted
Switzerland is not the only country where euthanasia is allowed. In The Netherlands the law is more developed, I believe it has the most developed euthanasia procedure. Mayby a documentary on the Dutch euthanasia law would be more informative then this one clinic which only is there to make money and not to receive common understanding from the Swiss people. The Netherlands have embrased their law. We have a culture where it fits in, the Swiss not.
@nagoldpa the others look like they are suffering but Crarg Ewert did not look like he was suffering, he looked very peacefully falling asleep then died in his coma sleep. by alinarria "Eutanasia" video by sondestinos "Mar adentro-Final" by pokovarios1 "ramon sampedro (derecho a morir)" You can see the difference of the others with their eyes rolling around. Was the first drink that Dignitas giving for his belly making the difference that he had a very peacefull death . 5*

Death is actually a gift for the suffering, the only way to escape thier pain
and torment. Dying is not a punishment or a forbidden process that must
be avoided at any cost.I believe Death is a gift that can be used by anyone
to move out of a failing body in hopefully into a Beautiful Transformation.

Isto é, o ser humano tem poder sobre o corpo físico, mas não sobre o espiritual. Ele pode fazer o que quiser com o seu corpo, mas com sua alma, nada pode fazer. Nem ao menos, tocá-la.

CONTINUAÇÃO... PARTE 5
É nisso que as pessoas, que pensam em se matar, deveriam refletir. Se elas acabassem com sua vida, isto é, com seu corpo físico, para onde iria sua alma, já que ela é imortal?
Será mesmo que os problemas do suicida afetam somente o seu corpo? E alma desta pessoa que quer se matar, aonde vai parar? Com toda sinceridade, não creio que vá para um lugar de remissão, descanso, ou de preparação para outra suposta vida.

CONTINUAÇÃO... PARTE 6
Então, por que acabar com o corpo? Será que, acabando com a matéria, a alma ficará em paz?
Eu tenho uma sugestão: Se você pensa em suicídio; se estas palavras são o retrato do que você está vivendo neste momento, então, experimente fazer um pacto com Deus. Seja sincero para com Aquele que é o criador de toda a vida. Diga a Ele que, se de fato existe e é real, então, que mude sua história para a vida ou para a morte de uma vez!

PARTE FINAL 7 Se houver sinceridade nesse pacto sua vida nunca mais será a mesma. Creia nisso, e você, sem sombra de dúvida, encontrará a paz que tanto almeja! ESTE RECADO É PRA TODOS QUE PENSAM EM SE SUICIDAR! PARE... PENSE... E REFLITA... LEIA TODAS AS PARTES QUE ESTÃO ESCRITAS DESDE A PARTE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 E 7

The fact that we can "play God" can be proof that there is no God. Or it can mean that our ability to help people was his intention all along. But there are things we do with such power that lean me toward the former. I don't think he'd let us play his game.

@GhostWritersDragon it's risky if you don't know what you're doing. in the early days of assisted suicide in the usa (led by dr jack kavorkian - a much-undervalued proponent and practitioner of assisted suicide), even a fellow doctor visited dr kavorkian because he was worried he would make a mistake and leave himself even worse off. plus its far easier than attempting to acquire painkillers of sufficient strength, and then commiting suicide yourself while sedated.

@TwinSmoke Craig brilliantly conveys the inconsistencies and hypocrisies found within religious people's reasoning. Just because you cannot connect the dots does not falsify his analogy. Taking someone's life is playing God just the same as prolonging someone's life. (This is by using your own logic if you were to remain consistent) By the way, your last comment has stripped away any respect I would have had for you.
MontegoFilms 1 year ago
@MontegoFilms Ok, this is the internet. Your thoughts on respecting me mean absolutely nothing. I voice my opinions the same way you voice yours. And you're right. Taking someone's life is playing God. Saving a life however is not. God gave us the gift of life and the intelligence to be able to save it.
TwinSmoke 1 year ago
@TwinSmoke His reasoning is that Christians believe God has a plan for everything, and that includes when people die. If we interfere with God's 'work' it is considered heretical and therefore sinful. It is quite clear from text found in scripture that Yahweh has a problem with suicide, and so suicide is forbidden in the Christian theology; punishable by eternal torment in Hell of course. Most US citizens are Christian and therefore most US citizens are against giving people their right to death
MontegoFilms 1 year ago
@MontegoFilms If God did have a plan and made sure we followed through with it, that would enter the realm of free will. Something that God swore not to interfere with. As far as eternity? The scripture states that God can send you to hell for a billion lifetimes. Do the math. If everyone lived to be 100 years old. That's a hundred billion years plus everyday is a thousand years. It would come out to hundreds of millions of trillions of years. That's a long ass time.
TwinSmoke 1 year ago
@TwinSmoke There are verses in the Bible that explicitly describe that Hell is eternal, and not finite as you have just suggested. Regardless, can you think of any act committed by a human that is worthy of being punished, by way of torture, for a billion lifetimes? (Please answer that question.)
'True Christians try to live higher on the morality spectrum than athiests.'
I would disagree that Christians are following a higher 'morality spectrum' than atheists or anyone for that matter.
MontegoFilms 1 year ago
@MontegoFilms Absolutely. Hitler, Stalin, Saddam Hussein, any idiot that kills himself while killing others. There are plenty of reasons why there is a hell in the first place. I mean, if you think everyone goes to Heaven automatically, that would be like putting Adolf Hitler and Mother Theresa on the same level. IF you are a murderer, rapist, thief or whatever, you will have to eventually answer for that.
Christians do have a greater morality. They have rules to live by. Athiests do not.
TwinSmoke 1 year ago
@TwinSmoke It wasn't exactly what I asked for, but I'd like to see your arguments discrediting the big bang theory. If I find that they are of any worth, I'd recommend sending an article for peer review. As for Hitler, Stalin, and Hussein, I posit that neither of them deserve an infinite amount of punishment. Surely you can see the injustice of condemning a finite act to an infinite damnation. Do you know how long an infinity is? The googolplex would not even fill 0.01% of an infinite's domain.

You are right when you state that atheism has no moral basis to offer. But it doesn't because it shouldn't. Would you expect a moral compass from your non belief of unicorns? No, of course not, because that would be silly!
MontegoFilms 1 year ago
@MontegoFilms I don't know where you get your information from, but Mother Theresa was a nun all of her life and she died as a nun. She was NEVER an athiest. That statement within it's self is just ridiculous. If she was an athiest, she would have been kicked out of the Catholic community. But she wasn't. So that imformation is terribly flawed and fictional.
TwinSmoke 1 year ago
@TwinSmoke If you are at all into reading, I suggest picking up Teresa's 'Come Be My Light.' There are a series of letters written by Teresa herself, where by you will find quotes like... 'Where is my faith? Even deep down… there is nothing but emptiness and darkness... If there be God — please forgive me'
and..
'Jesus has a very special love for you, [But] as for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see, — Listen and do not hear'
MontegoFilms 1 year ago
@MontegoFilms Every SINGLE person that is religious questions their faith at some point or another. There's nothing unusual there. But this is the reason that Mother Theresa died as a Christian. And this is documented if you'd like to look it up. But once, Mother Theresa had an exorcism. That is the ONLY reason the Catholic church has not made her a saint. But if you can show me proof that she was an Athiest, I'll admit I'm wrong.
TwinSmoke 1 year ago
@TwinSmoke There is no question she, at the very least, questioned her faith. But what do you call a person who looks for God but does not find him? Seems to me, as unbiasedly as I can infer, that she was an atheist the last few years of her life. She may not have liked it, but that doesn't change the reality. According to her letters, she died with her doubts. Even if you still do not accept that she lost her faith in God, ponder this...
MontegoFilms 1 year ago
@TwinSmoke Does a person as ethical and loving as Teresa, who devoted her life to serving the poor, deserve to be tortured and tormented in a lake of fire for the rest of eternity? Not because of some terrible deed or act like murder, but because she did not presume the correct set of beliefs at the time of her death?

@MontegoFilms Have you ever even read a single page of the bible?

@MontegoFilms We do derive our moral being from God. Even our human laws are based on the bible. It's always been that way and it always will be.

Although humans still kill humans on a daily basis, it's hard to imagine us ever making it past the jurasic period.

But Allah says him created mankind & jin for the sake of his worship. Means remembering Allah is virtue, valued equally for helping others.
This human race should get balance between life & spirituality.
Longer the life more the virtues you get so more worthful. even Allah may multiply rewards for remembering him in suffering.
suppose to utilize that life for thanking Allah for granting good wife & life..

Go preach Allah to people who actually care. You should get a more realistic hold on what pain and suffering is with an illness like this man in the video is going through. Your religion and your culture goes to great lengths to hide people with illnesses from the public so please, do not preach to us about being more spiritual: "Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing.". . f'ing hypocrite.

@OneHumanity1 WHAT THE FUCK. Did you hear this all from a book or something? Tell me, do you believe EVERYTHING you read in a book?
The only evidence of allah is in your book. (quran)
Open your fucking eyes and take a look around you, you religious moron, people are in pain everywhere. ALLAH IS NOT HELPING THEM IS HE?
Its perfectly ok for people to Kill themselves for allah isnt it? Lets say... flying into the side of tall buildings? Take your religious bullshit where its actually wanted

@OURVIDZSUCKBALLZ exactly, this is a perfectly fine way to die, as opposed to drowning in your own saliva

Switzerland is not the only country where euthanasia is allowed. In The Netherlands the law is more developed, I believe it has the most developed euthanasia procedure. Mayby a documentary on the Dutch euthanasia law would be more informative then this one clinic which only is there to make money and not to receive common understanding from the Swiss people. The Netherlands have embrased their law. We have a culture where it fits in, the Swiss not.
