You're right; I was elaborating on what "voluntary" would mean, and attempting to answer the question in your second paragraph. A thread should progress towards some sort of resolution, ideally.
As for "the world is failing to give them a better answer than death" -- what would that be? Other than drugs or curing the disease, of course.
My mother died in a hospice room at the assisted care facility. Her hospice nurse said "there's no reason why anyone has to suffer anymore." I was also around when her mother died, and that was much, much worse.
- DoreenMichele 4y agoPain killers weren't doing fuck all for me. I once told a friend "I would sell my soul to the devil for 24 hours without pain." I've seen articles that suggest that many coma patients are aware and it's a living nightmare to be aware and trapped in a helpless body. Anyone saying that no one has to suffer anymore is full of shit. Yeah, a means to actually be healthy is the only real answer and if the world can't give you that and your condition is torture and you want out, you should have the right to end your suffering.
- Cupertino95014 4y agoAgreed. As for the third paragraph: I don't know, this lady deals with dying patients for a living. I'd tend to go with that.
