Re: A Duty To Die?

There's no perfect solution to this but forcing people to suffer when they patently don't want to is as absurd as it is cruel. In worrying about potential abuse of any safeguards, some people seem to be more than willing to accept that dreadful reality that many helpless and extremely sick/disabled peope are actually suffering through their conditions and the uncaring and undignified (even abusive) treatment they have to endure.

No it's not a black and white issue but I know which option I would prefer and it isn't years of suffering the pain and misery of a terminal illness whilst either burdening my loved ones or relying on others for my every need.
