Assisted Suicide Case Spurs Right-to-die Debate

[bboychi1]

for the people who wants assisted suicide then just cross the North Korea border, they will be happy to do it for you. Or go to America and go to Area 51 becasue they just shoot on site. SIMPLE

@KripDrip Why do you care? And don't spew some garbage fairy tale about Jesus, God, and talking snakes. Many of us don't believe in invisible magic and when you kind of people get louder because we don't want to listen to your silliness you look a fool. So why do you really care? Be gone.

[siriusalien]

To clarify: This group isn't about ASSISTED suicide. The suffering patient/individual must procure the materiels and perform the deed themselves. Final Exit Network only gives advice

[KripDrip]

This is sick! SICK!!!!!!!!

MURDERER!!!!!!!!

[larbacmc1]

Better to live in a 3rd world country

where their are no machines

kidney diallis, ventilator,

feeding tubes

People are afraid of living bad. They are not afraid of dying peacefully or suddenly. Governments will not allow that so they can keep people in fear, so they can manipulate them and not give a chance for a new generation to imagine living only 50 years and ask for a social system which could allow no investment for the pension plan.THAT'S why they made it illegal in Australia.A person who would have the means to die peacefully would be ready to push life worthy standards upfront with NO FEAR!!

Omg!!

[HimmiJoe]

Anyone should have the right to suicide.

[HimmiJoe]

I know that I'd want to go peacefully, but I know also that I might more likely be subject to torture for 20 years of diabetes and altzheimers like my grandpa. That only makes me suicidal at a younger age....

[mando267]

Right to die 100%, terminally ill or not. It's their bodies, their lives. Church and government aren't the same thing anymore, unless those christian degenerates didn't realise. Now it's all about "you can't pay taxes when you're dead"

Death to all slavers and oppressors

[unordinarlee]

You've seen God?

[ronaldreika]

most assisted suicides only involve unplugging artificial life support. it's sick to extend a persons life by artificial means. the evil of modern medicine have changed the rules in this in order to get more profits at the expense of the sufferer. the enviromental pressure is also a factor. medical waste is super toxic & ending up as refuse in 3rd world countries.

[siriusalien]

Those who condem assisted suicide in the case of horrible suffering and disease, needs to experience suffering themselves. I am sure faced with a painful, protacted death- everyone would consider hastening their end.

[KripDrip]

you love DEATH! right? Only god can choose whether we should live or die. No one should have the right to murder!

[siriusalien]

@KripDrip

No I love life! A life lived fully without pain suffering and indignity. I also believ in a infinately loving and forgiving god who gave us intelligence and free will.

[multani1874]

they are angel of death, when they die sure satan will give them torture in hell.

[jtbell30]

Yeah, buddy, that's what happens. Magical Satan pokes you.

[ArtisynSaffryn]

People like Ted Goodwin and Jerry Dincin are "angels of mercy". Right-wing conservatives, along with all of the other anti-choice fundamentalist Christians, use God as a weapon against choice, in order to maintain their illusionary control over the rest of society, which is enforced by their inhuman dogma, false accusations, and allegations against the Final Exit Network and the right-to-die. We must preserve our rights against those who wish to enslave us by their ignorance and fake power.

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

Everyone's against people's right-to-die until they get onto the freeway and someone cuts them off right?

[KasparHauser4]

What it is is the Catholic church ( I know the catholic church in Georgia? But the Catholics have huge political influence on this issue and on abortion)

I wish the Catholic church would inflect its ideas on its own adherents and quit trying to force them on other folks who are not members of their faith.

[WinterHaven]

It makes me wonder about their motiviation-I mean do they get off watching someone die or feel some kind of perverted whatever when they help kill someone?? ENQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!. Sick sick sick!!!

[jtbell30]

Quite an articulate argument, you must win many a dinner debates...

It's out of compassion. You ever watch somebody needlessly suffer with an incurable illness? An illness that only worsens. Never reverses, never holds neutral, only progresses and deteriorates the body, only scrambles the mind more and more?

Then that person says 'I'm ready to leave, my life has been exactly what I wanted, but I don't want my last memories to be this painful and distorted.'

Yeah, pretty sick.

[KripDrip]

you never know when a miracle can happen. Only god can take us. I dont support murderers! Choose life, not DEATH!

[ar2110302]

@KripDrip

If God is fucking powerful, then why doesn't he stop those committing suicide?

[Pattydole70]

@WinterHaven I think it is sick to keep people hooked up to machines and suffering then charging their families a fortune for the priviledge. That is SICK.

[WinterHaven]

That Selmer person is a very nice looking man-what a fucking waste of life. Lock the fuckers up for killing him!!!

[WinterHaven]

He needs to be locked away-he's fucking CRAZY!

[WinterHaven]

Assisted suicide is illegal. PLUS the group can be accused of "assisting" a suicide when the person does not want to die-but the surviving families are circling like vultures waiting for inheritance. Hey-this is America-it happens!!! Even if it didn't happen that way-the group can be ACCUSED of it. By a grief stricken family!!!

[siriusalien]

@WinterHaven

They were in Phoenix, Az. The case was argued and settled April 2011. the accused were  Aquitted

[Namari12]

I can't believe the government can tell someone, "Yes, we know you are in excruciating pain, and you are going to die with a matter of months. But you can't make the decision to rid yourself of that pain early!"

It's their lives.. if they decide they no longer wish to live, then who are we to criticize them?

[WinterHaven]

Well, the big thing here is "assisted"-that means part of the crime. It is also possible a crazy person may want to die when they don't have their own faculties. These are crazy fuckers and need to be locked up.

[Namari12]

I don't disagree that assisted suicide has the possibility of being misused. Which is why these people shouldn't be doing what they're doing, because it's vigilante justice.

But the solution is to codify and regulate physician-assisted suicide, I firmly believe that. And in lieu of that, if these people can help people attain what they can't do legally now.. well, I have a hard time condemning that.
