@Jeruba Holy cow, you’re brilliant. That was all such good information. However, with me, I am not one of those people that think ‘if God wants to heal me, he will’ and refuse to take necessary precautions to save their lives. So I don’t want to come across that way. It’s a very fine line because who’s to say who deserves to live and who doesn’t?
As for euthanasia- I strongly believe that it should be allowed. If somebody wants to end their life, they have every single right to do so. If they need help in doing it, and have thought about and accepted their death, it should be allowed.
I’ll never forget when my dad told me ‘Nadra, if the decision was somehow up to you, and I could either be euthanized, or live with a bunch of tubes attached to me keeping me alive, I would want you to chose euthanasia for me.’ As hard as that was to hear, I realized I would want the same thing. Why stay alive sitting in a bed with a bunch of tubes? It is obviously your time to go.
But I mean, my dad has cancer. And he took the steps necessary to live. He wouldn’t be here if he hadn’t. And I love my dad more than anything, and would be crushed if he were gone. It’s harder when you put yourself in other people’s shoes. where they can live a few years longer if they take a certain medication.
Also, if I talked about how I wanted to get rid of doctors and medication, pharmacists and research, those would be a lot of lost jobs if that went through.
Haha, this is why it is so hard for me because I am on edge about so many things- in limbo between what’s right and wrong. I’m still developing my ideas and beliefs. I am only eighteen :/
@Carly that is true… there are rules I don’t like, such as the euthanasia rule, or how suicide is illegal. I think it’s wrong when people attempt suicide and fail, and are then on trial for how to be punished for their attempt.
@talljasperman that’s actually a good idea! Haha, I should try that one out (: I think I will
@Pandora that is a true statement… I can look into that! also, something I’ve been wanting to ask you; do you like Pandora.com?
