Poofed Thread???
I guess the thread about the young lady that committed suicide because she had a brain tumor got poofed. How long did it take for it to get out of control?

Thankfully, none of us had to make that decision and I pray none of us ever do.
We all make that decision every day.0 -
For a terminal patient facing a horrific death, I see no reason for society to get in their way excessively. Some minimal proof of the situation is reasonable to require. Beyond that this sort of tough time should be up to the patient in consultation with the doctors and family. Politicians and the public should butt out and go mind their own business. 0 -
Suicide and euthanasia should be difficult and discouraged whenever possible if only to safeguard the weaker willed individuals out there. Life is precious and if equal footing is granted to both those hanging on and those who want to end it all, then we are indeed losing traction on the slipperiest slope of all. Where do you draw the line? 0 -

Right.
If someone is in an accident and loses the permanent ability to care for their own personal needs, should they have the option to decide to check out? And then, will people call them "brave" and say they admire their "courage"?
What about people who are born permanently disabled? Would we call a parent of these children "courageous" if they said they wanted to have their child euthanized?
She had less than a year to go. She had a choice and she made it. God bless her. Many, many, many more individuals have a tougher and longer row to hoe, and they have no choice.0 -
The means to end your own life is always close at hand,,,,, for ALL of us.
Any number of drugs will do the deed.
You dont need governments approval or societys acceptance and you certainly dont need to move to another state.
Who are these death with dignity parrots who think you need a doctors "assistance" to commit suicide??0 -

I would imagine that they are the ones who realize that sometimes life incapacitates you to the point where you haven't the ability to take your own life.0 -
That was clearly not the case with the woman we've all been talking about over the last week. 0 -

Indeed. But it is my understanding that she was using her death as a platform to bring about awareness to the right to have someone kill you in her state.0 -

Its a tough crowd, ya gotta be able to give and take without getting your feelings hurt.
Or you could just be civil and respectful in the first place.
But who am I kidding? Why would we expect civility and respect HERE?0 -
I would just hope that I have more fight in me when my time comes.
Okay. I'll say it. She pusses out.
Girl was 29 and got diagnosed less than a year ago. It makes a very dramatic story. She was pretty, and articulate, which makes for great press.
Her story will be forgotten before the weekend. A human interest story at best.0 -

Yep. No argument, BUT...at least she put it out there for others to see, and know they don't have to suffer.
I still give her credit.
Sorry.
Nobody has to suffer. Suicide happens all the time, with or without the sanction of the state.
Just do it. Top yourself. Don't post it on social media.
A lot of people consider you lucky you got 29 good years in. God bless.0 -

Hey, I remember you! You were the woman who was hating on those raped kids who caused Joe Paterno to step down. You were all mad that Penn State's football schedule got disrupted because a bunch of kids got raped.
Now you're onto hating on people with terminal cancer.
Well, I'm sure Hitler and Idi Amin are holding a place for you at the table when you get down to hell. Enjoy eternal damnation, you soulless harpy.0 -
