Assisted Suicide

If I were you i will whatever I can do. If there any simplest way I could do to ease those pains i will do it right away. If you experience alot then reflect on it. Do whatever to stop them causing to others. Give health teaching whatever may help.:)

OMG. The term itself sounds scary. I've seen how people in this situation struggle to make it but due to the oftentimes harsh procedures applied to their already weak bodies, they could not help but just give up and die. I think much of the deaths in hospitals have an element of this issue.

I am currently dealing with a recurrence of ovarian cancer. I have talked to other women who have had repeated recurrences and some had differing views. Some keep fighting because they have families they need to take care of while others just want to end it all right now. Myself, I think that I would fight if there were a chance of improvement but if it looked like I was terminal I would ask for assistance in ending it, especially if I was in pain all the time. When my mother was in the ICU with a staph infection in her blood, we waited a week with them trying everything they could to try to get her over it. When her heart went into arrhythmia the second time, we told them to take her off life support. If she would breath on her own, she would live, but she didn't. Most of my siblings were with her at the time and although she couldn't talk because of the tube in her throat, she did tear up as I guess she knew what was happening. If I was in that situation, I would ask that they not even put me on the breathing machine because it is just prolonging the agony for everyone, not just the patient. It would be better to just let me die than to keep me alive with a machine even if there is no chance of a productive life.
