The simple end to this argument is this: No-one should have the right to choose when any of us die. No-one should have the right to say "No" to a simple biological request. Everyone dies in the end. Why should we be stopped if we wish to go earlier?
Death is a gift for some. Let them receive it on their own terms.
its ok to uthenize our pets when we dont we dont want to see them suffer and yet its ok to see our loved ones suffer until their death. doesnt make sense. why cant the sufferer die with dignity on their own terms?
its fucking stupid how horses have to be killed for having a broken leg , but a man who is being tortured by cancer has to live to death by law, fucking disgraceful
oh god i admire this man so much this made me cry the minute i started watching his novels make me happy always have always will i hope he never has to suffer <3
I think the concept of free will should encompass one's entire being, including their death. If everyone has a right to live with dignity why doesn't everyone have a right to die with dignity? I've seen the cases portrayed in films like You Don't Know Jack and such and the people are always very sound of mind and very definitive with their decision. Interesting how we're all against suffering except when it comes to this topic.
Sidebar: those have got to be the poshest people I've ever seen.
Assisted dying sounds much better than suicide..Suicide is much more of a tragic act and in most cases the person has a mental illness..In this case these people have a disease such as cancer
For people who have had experienced enough - say wealth, fame, fortune ... and/or suffering, such is another bold decision to be made - to leave the physical and further explore the great beyond ... Yes, let them go ...
I'm dyslexic so I find reading very hard. It was much harder when I was a child. I first heard about Terry Pratchett through a friend, so I got the audio books read by Tony Robinson which were really great. Despite the fact that the audio books were really enjoyable I always felt as though I was missing out a little. So despite my difficulties reading I started try to do it anyway. It's still hard today but I can do it. Thank you Terry for helping me to read. You'll be missed.
@buzzNact I have the same problem. But i managed to read "Wyrd Sister" all by myself. I am planning to start on "Witches Aboard" next year. First adult book I have read..
@Heva1987 Reading is great fun and now I read lots of other things simply because I enjoy to, although Terry Pratchett is a great place to start (and continue) reading. I had a great time reading Snuff just recently and Witches Aboard is defiantly a very good book (the entire "Witches" saga is very good). Reading will never be as easy for people like us as it is for our peers but trust me, the more you do read the easier reading becomes, and it is very, very worth while =).
A huge part of life is death. We are free to choose how we live our lives, and so we must be free to choose how - and when - we die.

Terry has no fear of death, cause Death is his creation and friend.
