Re: Voluntary Euthanasia
I believe wholeheartedly in the right to choose when one goes. Having made that decision about my dogs and not letting them suffer, I think it only right that the same option should be allowed for myself.Re: Voluntary Euthanasia
Isn't it strange though, how in one profession they would be in trouble for allowing suffering to continue, yet in another profession they would be in trouble for NOT allowing suffering to continue!Re: Voluntary Euthanasia
I'm totally for it for those who want to go that way and think it should be made legal.Re: Voluntary Euthanasia
Pesta, stopping taking thyroid replacement would take a very long time to have the effect of killing you. I know this from a personal point of view, having had my thyroid removed when I was 22. So for many years I have been on replacement.Re: Voluntary Euthanasia
Good grief CeeCee, you must have felt absolutely dreadful for those 18mths!! I'm amazed you survived TBH. You must be really strong to have got through that lass.Re: Voluntary Euthanasia
I did feel really rough and so very tired all of the time. I would get up, potter around the house and then fall asleep in the chair. This would happen several times a day. I was covered in an incredibly itchy rash all over, but put it all down to the after effects of my surgery, the chemo or meds etc. Never gave a thought to thyroid levels.Re: Voluntary Euthanasia
Of course we should be given the choice of dying if we are suffering ,but only after careful consideration and medical advice. The NHS is stretched to breaking point , we are living longer, so why prolong suffering. A friend has MS, she can do ,she is bed bound ,only leaving her bed for a short time, relying on her husband, he is in his 80s, suffered a minor stroke a while ago, he is no longer able to drive so walks everywhere for shopping etc..She doesnt want to live but has no choice
