Right to Die, what is your take on it?.

About 200 people commit assisted suicide each year in Zurich, including many foreign visitors.



Never knew that :shock:
 
If you had to choose your right to die. Already deaf then going blind.

life is a gift never squander it
 
I applaud Belgium for it's liberal laws pertaining to assisted suicide.

It's time that Canada adopted these same laws.

It's time for the West to adopt these practises. The West is more caring to animals in this regard.

As the palliative caregiver for my parents, there were times they both asked me if I could help them and I couldn't, not because I didn't want to for their sakes, but I did not feel it was my place and it is illegal that would be a huge burden. With that said, it is relatively easy near the end stage just ask for liquid morphine and was the body stops feeling the pain, the organs shut down.
 
Knowing people that are deaf and blind, I can tell you that these men gave up too early. There is a life beyond it and its what you make of it that determines whether you are happy or depressed.

I agree deaf and blind isn't a good enough reason to end it. If they were terminally ill and in pain then I would say it's it's humane.
 
It is tough, but those that I know who are deaf and blind often make the best of what they've got. They communicate with sign language by holding their hands over the person that's signing. They also depend on the honesty of their friends and associates. We know its a hard life and I would never turn my back on someone that needs assistance some of the time.
 
What a tough choice as there are always benefits and good reasons to live and be alive.
 
I know some deaf and blind folks and they have a perfectly acceptable (to them) qualitative of life. It's different from ours, but not necessarily better or worse.

As a quack focusing on oncology (cancer) this is something I've dealt with directly and indirectly. It's never an easy decision. In one case very personal to me I decided that when the quality of life was not there it would be time. A DNR helped.
