I agree with you 100% Mary. When your fully compus mentus, if you state, in your will, that should you suffer say a stroke, and have no hope of recovery atall, and you wish to be allowed to die then your wishes should be carried out. I did geriatric nursing some years ago. I always remember one lady in particular. She had had a brain stem stroke, ie it affected her whole brain as apposed to just one side. She was completly bedridden, and literally a pile of skin and bones. Now obviously she had to be given fluids, so we had special beakers with spouts on with which we could give her sips of water. Well due to her stroke she had just about lost her swallowing reflex, so she coughed most of it back up again, but we had to try. Food was out of the question, she simply could not swallow it. She used to lay there and look at you as if to say: “For Gods sake will you just hit me over the bloody head and let me die”. It broke your heart. I’ve also nursed cancer patients and patients with bedsores big enough to put a mans fist into, people with gangrene and allsorts. Now you tell me, if you were one of those people I’ve looked after, and you were laying there, screaming in agony, because despite being given regular doses of dia morphine(Heroin) you were still in agony, and had also(as was frequently the case) lost control of ALL your bodily functions, what would you want eh? Would you want to see the person you loved most in the world spending their final days/weeks in agony, or do you think that it would be kinder to let them die peacefully and with some dignity. I know what I’d prefer. So yes, I agree that in certain circumstances, euthanasia is the only option. As Mary said, you wouldn’t let your pet suffer, so why let someone you love suffer?

thats what im trying to say Bat, you hear abt these things on the news you might see the odd warning but at that age u dont think you see the advert or news bulletin then forget all about it, which is why i think they need some harder hitting advert prevention a bit like they did when aids first came out, i know its different but the effect of the way they hit it home for a while at least had an effect.
I think your right Poli. Shock tactics seems to be the only thing that works these days. I showed my kids a picture of a diseased black lung, caused by smoking and said ” there you are, do you want your lungs to look like that?” they were horrified and thought it was disgusting. Now they don,t want to smoke. Show the kids adverts of what will happen to you if drink and drive, or take drugs. If it scares them into not doing it I,m all for it.
Ello gang you old f****r, welcome to the boards. :wink:
I actually thought some of the comments from the Daily Mail readers were a bit harsh. YES he was stupid and reckless. No doubt about that, but you know what it,s like when your his age. You think your invincible like superman and nothing can go wrong. You think old age is light years away, you don,t think about the consequences of smoking in years to come, because that won,t happend to you will it? You don,t think about the effects of binge drinking, because your out to have some fun and the last thing you want is a bunch of know it all,s telling you otherwise. In other word,s at that age you just don,t THINK. All most kids his age care about is having fun and a “buzz”. They live for the moment. Sadly this young mans life has been flushed right down the toilet because of a moments drunken stupidity. He probably wishes with all his might he could turn back time, but he can,t. He,s got to live with the consequences of his drunken actions, and so, as you said, have his parents. I feel so sorry for the kid. Can all of us honestly say we,ve never done something as or nearly as stupid when we were that age? Well he,s paid the ultimate price now hasn,t he. Poor kid.

Yes well if your lot was more efficiently organised and better designed, we wouldn’t get all this bloody criticism would we?
Fact is that we can get it all over and done with in time to get back to the TV for Part 2 of whatever programme we were watching, whilst your lot haven’t decided which centre chocolate to eat next.
Excuses excuses. :lol: The fact is, it wouldn’t matter if we stuck bloody great labels on everything and put X marks the spot and gave you a bloody AA road atlas, you,d still get lost. And yes we KNOW you get it all over with quickly. Talk about 0-60 in 10 seconds. Jeez. :roll: :roll: :roll:
10 seconds? you wish, babes, you wish.
Yeah your right Mibs, maybe 10 seconds is pushing it a bit, make it 5……………..ish. :lol:
