i am wondering if i am the only person who read this, who felt the piece was a very strange way to consecrate his father's passing. "i wish i could have put him down like a cat, and if you disagree with me, i hope you die a horrible death." there is a good case for euthanasia, and there is a case against it, it just seems inappropriate to approach a dialogue with this piece as a starting point. in the end, i'm sorry he lost his father in a painful and ugly way and felt captive to a hospital. the end of life situations in my family were also pretty gnarly but involved hospice care. i'd love to know the circumstances here, and how the situation could have been improved. but you'll never win over your opponents starting from a place like this.
- dxm 13y agoI lost my grandfather (father really, he raised me) and I felt the same way, I signed his DNR and if nobody was looking, I would have turned off all measures to keep him stable myself. Watching somebody you love pass is entirely heartbreaking, it's satisfying to see them cross the line into the unthinking. If I had the talent of Scott Adams, the words I would have emitted would have been similar.
- x0x0 13y agolook, when your opponents are the sick pieces of human shit who exploited Terri Schiavo, there is no common ground to be had. Republicans like people to die as painfully as humanly possible, and the medical industry will cooperate. My experience was my father dying from cancer. There was no question he was going to die, and the only remaining questions where how soon -- tomorrow or in a month or two -- and how painfully.
