Some of y'all obviously have never had one of your own parents blatantly tell you their fears about growing old, growing frail to the point where they cannot do anything for themselves anymore. To the point where they just bluntly tell you "If I ever become a vegetable, please don't let me live." or worse, "If my legs finally give out then yes I may do something drastic about it." Just food for thought.
For sure, people like OP don't have the balls.
Pure vicious greed.
Agreed. I've haven't looked through it and probably never will. I see the title occasionally when scrolling and am always slightly horrified. Figured I would pass that horror along here
I have. I also know that when the time comes people aren't as stoic about staring down the void they're about to plunge into. I’m also not thrilled with mercy killing people who can’t consent or even understand what’s going on.
It's bad because they say that when they are healthy, but when they start to lose their minds they begin to hang on for all it's worth.
Yeah it's easy to rant and rave "just take me behind the barn and shoot me!" when you're relatively vital, and it's one thing to say "ok sure dad whatever you want" when it's an abstract notion. But the day comes and the doctors pretty much agree with each other that it's a lost cause, but none of them want to say for sure. "It's your call." When he's laying there in bed on all the technology, and you know enough to know that the labs and the monitors all say "lol sorry." But he's still looking just how he did when he would doze off watching John Wayne flicks back in the good old days, snoring a little bit and shivering in his coma. If you switch it to cartoons, he's gonna wake up and switch it back, for sure.
