Euthanasia: Do you think the right to die should be granted?

[doi]

dude terminally ill patients will still die months or even weeks. given they are provided the expensive right way of treatment i still think its not practical. we don't do euthanasia to patient who has hopes of recovering. euthanasia applies to patients who will die weeks, months or have no hopes of recovering or just pure agonizing pain of each of their remaining days alive.

high doses of radiation will also kill healthy cell and making you just more vulnerable to other diseases. it will also give you more annoying symptoms.

bai, you are like telling me once you get radiation therapy the pain will disappear. it wont. and if the cancer has metastasize radiation therapy wont work anymore. radiation is not always the answer to cancer and not the cure for it.

patient/s who will die in weeks/months should be Euthanized because their life expectancy is short? it's like you're saying you should stop humping your girlfriend now cause you're almost at the climax and it's just as good as having a climax..... nothing is certain whe it comes to our life.

who are we to say when will a person die?

no i'm not saying RadThera has a 100% in acheiving cure. that's why it's a Palliative or Curative Cure course of treatment. who says anything about RadThera is the only way to cure cancer?
btw, some Metastatic Cancers are treated w/ Radiation Therapy... oh snap!

mag google man gai ta taronga nalang pud tawn oi...

even with radtheraphy there's still a high chance it will grow again and have metastasized to the brain. life expectancy if you will radiate the whole brain is just 3-4 months
and i meant the terminally ill, and even irreversible comatose patients. (given you've already exhaust all your resources and all alternatives)would you rather pay millions of pesos to lay on your bed, just sleeping hooked up with machines and won't wake up for years?

if you can afford then go ahead. it's your life and what you want. but there are some people who cant afford medication, doctors, fees, and the machines. it's not practical anymore.

you will never know how truly painful it is...
to see your loved ones just lie in bed, barely breathing and obviously in pain... what could they have done to deserve such misery?
You don't know how hard it is to watch their strong-willed eyes wanting so much to move even their finger, pero dili giud nila mabuhat..
You know naa giud unta sila daghan isulti pero dili nila ma sulti.. dili man gani ma abli ang ba-ba nila.. igo ra mu-hilak..and you've never even seen that person cry in your whole life.. ever

Even ang tambal or therapy ihatag kay naka pa taas man gani sa ilang kinabuhi pero each time tagaan sila ana na tambal, mag sakit sad sila..
You know they wish that they would just die kay grabeh ang sakit..

How can you still be selfish and want them to live? Can you make them live in such conditions? Not only will it bring them pain..
pero ikaw na nag tan-aw lang ma affected pud ug grabeh imong kinabuhi..

I stopped asking God for miracles, but it doesnt mean I lost my faith in him. I just wanted my dad's suffering to end right away, even if it meant that I will carry that suffering with me everywhere I go until the point that I will die too...

Euthanasia is not killing or murder.. It's simply putting them first and giving up your own selfishness.. and wanting their suffering to end.

this is the main reason why i wanna legalize euthanasia.its not about money,its about putting your loved ones to an end of their misery. kay sakit pod baya magtan-aw sa imong family member nga mura na ug latang gulay due to his/her illness. once ma cancer patient ka, you will never be the person you were before. mao nang mga cancer patient or kanang naay mga illness nga limited nalang gyud ilang life expectancy gusto gyud ug euthanasia kay doble man gud ang sakit. nagsakit pa ang pasyente and pamilya pod nagsakit magtan-aw sa ilang loved ones nga in pain, not to mention ang pagsige bisita ug ang gasto.

makaana ta nga kung cancer patient ka and you dont wanna live anymore,mo respeto nalang unta sa ilang desisyon. once naa nay taning imong life, dili nalang magpadayon usik ug kwarta when the money is better off para sa future sa mga anak or much better e-save nalang kaysa sige gasto unya inig kamatay ang paglubong napod.doble gyud ang gasto.

High Doses of Radiation are used to destroy cancer cells or shrink tumor/s in your body.

there's now way for it to ONLY destroy cancer cells..
They destroy the normal cells also.. and if you give high doses of radiation to someone who's already stage 4 cancer nya luya na kaau ang lawas, dli na maka function normally without aid, I doubt that person will withstand the pain that the therapy does to him...

yup... on the other side, the remaining days are not for miracles to happen but for SOs to feel the importance of the patient. The length affects the stage of grieving. I just don't know if it lengthens or shortens it. I'm sorry for your loss.

[florida.blanca]

well, tanan man tao naay right to die the same way as there is a right to live...


atheist ang TS so i could perfectly understand her belief about this. it is strange florida that you claim yourself as an atheist and yet you are against the right to die principle...hmmmm... you really are an anti-christ then.

i'm basing my morals in the law of the land! the law being legislated by the legislators! i know my rights! and it was written in the philippine constitution

i'm not anti christ. i'm lady gaga!

who says anything about it only destroys the cancer cells? RadTherapy is a very delicate procedure that's why it has extensive planning before treatment so that it irradiates only the part w/c is affected. Depending on the radiation delivery method, several angles or sources may be used to sum to the total necessary dose.

death is inevitable, why should we intervene. it is what it is...

btw, let's stop deviating from the topic and sorry for your loss...

if you can give a good number of survivors compared to the ones who died of radiation therapy, i'll back you up..... (but i sincerely doubt that)
