ASSISTED SUICIDE

tell them you love them then grab that pillow! if they panic then stop because that means they have changed their mind!!

so i found out!!!

its a long long long long thing this, lots of legalities if it ever became legal to assist someone!

there would have to be witnesses! tonnes of paperwork! it would be more like an execution than assisting someone to be in a better place.

and only for people who are terminally ill! and have a week to go! would have to be really on the last legs type of thing!

none of these people who take anti depressants for no reason other than attention and an unfulfilling life who are on the brink of suicide all the time.

a man lost his job in the city i live in recently and threw himself off a building! now it was a museum! tonnes of kids outside on school trips! that man had depression apparently, i dont care selfish git if you ask me! didnt deserve to live, but wanted that last bit of attention so chucked himself off infront of kids just to traumatise them for the rest of their lives, (im sure the sight of a man landing on the floor instantly dead isnt a good one for kids)

assistance for death? maybe to be honest

but theres more of an argument against it so i will go with the majority on this one

Depression is a dreadful illness token, and i don’t suppose for one moment the guy thought about kids on a school trip, he probably wasn’t thinking clearly about anything at all.

The past four weeks token, have been the worst 4 weeks of my life. Having already been a survivor of cancer, i had some lumps removed from my neck and had to wait 10 days (well 14 days actually) for the results. I got them today, and there has been no re-currance, thank god!!!! but………………. in the beginning, the original cancer, i have to say, i did, sign a DNR (do not ressusitate) had it come to that.

We should at the very least, be entitled to the choice

Thankyou Rossy :) x

My friend was with me and my son, he’s 18. He was 14 at the time of it all and a real superstar. We were all sooooo relieved. I think in fact that my heads still in the clouds :)

Four years now in remission ……….. onwards and upwards :)

Thanx Ruby…………..your kind thoughts are welcomed………….

I take it day by day now………………..xxxxx

Understand completely Ruby.

We always hope, pray sometimes, for some miracle to happen, it rarely does. I think it would be open to abuse, like anything else, which is why it should be so tightly regulated. While a person though, is of sound mind, and able to make that decision, like the one I did, for instance, the DNR, then they should be allowed to make that choice.

Worst case scenario, something like what Rossy said, I wouldn’t have wanted my loved ones to have to make a decision, I made it myself, with thier full knowledge, and thier full consent. Fortunately it hasn’t come to that.
