People That Are Dying In Misery Being Put To Sleep

I would not be againist a law like that. I hate to see anyone lay & suffer when u know they can not get any better.

i am not agree with that coz only god have a right to do that things,we are made by god and we must take on it by god's command

Personally for me, it would really depend on the situation, and if there is nothing left for the doctors to do. I really think many people that continue to want to hang on either do it for Fear of being alone, or because they are not ready for that person to die, or scared because they may not know a God or know the person really is not ready. If more people would continuously put more Faith in God or a higher power as some call it, there could be a hope worth living for.

I'm not sure, but I think that is what the form they gave me when I went to the hospital the last time was for. There is a form a person can fill out saying that if they are not going to be able to recover that there should be no extreme measures taken to keep them alive. If they have a DNR (do not resuscitate)bracelet on that it is not permitted to do cpr or any other measure to keep them alive. They ask me if I have a form on file every time that I go to the hospital and I never do although I wouldn't want to be kept on life support for any reason. My mom was on life support for a week in the ICU and the first time she went into fibrillation they got her back into a normal rhythm. The second time, we told them to turn off the breathing machine. She was aware of what was going on and it really bothered me when one of the medical students made a comment about not being in the business of killing people. She was not responding to the antibiotics because of a staph infection in her blood and there was no way she was going to survive much longer anyway so why wast taxpayer money and prolong both her and our agony? I wouldn't just kill someone unless they were really suffering and had no possibility of any quality of life though.

its so hard to figure this. if its for sure, they are going to die anyway, maybe it would be a good law to make. that doc that got in so much trouble should not have, as he was doing a service to people. yes, it would be good i think. except, some people have survived so whats the argument for that like my cousin that was in hospice for 3 yrs. he came out and married and all and has lived 6 more yrs or so. thats a hard question.

Hi margeryann, There is a form one can and should fill out no matter how healthy we are. It is call Health Care Directive or Living Will. I actually did seven articles a few months ago for a brand new website. Which indicated the reason why one should have this form as if we were to be in this state then the form will be the legal document and it will speak for us as if we were the ones actually speaking for ourselves. Here is a excerpt of one of the seven I did which explains: "Health care directive’s and or Living will is a formal legal document that specifically lists how you would like to have your health care treatments carried out, at a time you are not able to speak for yourself. It will legally list the person you assign and or give power of attorney to give the final say as to what treatments you prefer. This person speaks for you and is well informed as to what you want and do not want in terms of medical treatments. The assigned person must be of minimum legal age as required by our states law to be considered and allowed to speak on your behalf". The person assigned is speaking on our behalf and is completely informed of what we want and do not want in direction of our treatment and or termination. As hard as it sounds it is a really important document, in which everyone really should consider as laying in a bed in agony, will be too late for anyone to take control as then it will be strictly up to our doctor to decide. Therefore, one could be in a bed for weeks, months or years. With this form no one has any say outside what is listed in it. Most importantly the assigned person can speak immediately and say DNR, (Do not resuscitate), which then one would not be on life support and or the agony of being treated with the pain narcotic clinging on to a shred of brain stem life. Having also experienced this wit a dying member of the family and no form in place. I can vouch on how stressful it is to see the loved one in so much agony. Therefore, yes I would be completely for the law if it were effective.
