If you had a choice of giving someone a life of painful torture and death, which would be the ethical choice? I would say that if someone spends their life in painful torture that is not life. It is pure hell.

We send people to prison as punishment, we no longer string them up and torture them because it's inhumane. But I see being trapped in a painful body, unable to do anything of pleasure and waking every day to the eternal nightmare as the same as being in a prison on a rack or being broken on a wheel only to wake to the nightmare the next day, like Prometheus and the eagle.

If that's what people want to live with then fine, but if they want an end to the torture then I don't see it as ending a life. Their life was over already. It is a release from pain and suffering. I simply do not understand why we cannot have a law like Switzerland. We are not children to be lectured to by State conservatism, we have a right to choose.

Re: Assisted dying

Yes we do have a right to choose and yes we should have a law like Switzerland just as long as the ending of life is done by the professionals and kept out of the hands of well meaning relatives.

Re: Assisted dying

which is why people should make a plan for this before they are in that situation.

Re: Assisted dying

It should be our choice, aided only if we cant physically do it ourselves, but a peaceful passing wilthout all the fuss.
