 Re: Euthanasia
Hey iceman, this subject has been around for ever, my opinion is for what its worth,
The immediate family has to make that decision as a whole, there cannot be a split, also
if there is no hope at all, people need to weigh up the pros and cons of the continuing care that is needed, who or how are they going to work this out. It is very easy for anyone to say
we will look after our loved one, but one cannot see how long this can go on. My husband
died of cancer and i must say now if i could have i would have opted for euthanasia, because of the way he died and the emotional stress on myself and 3 children he lingered
for 6 months getting worse evry day, he was bedridden the whole time, a big thing is
he was a proud man and having his arse wiped by us was not nice he cried evry time.
The long haul view is,
How long has the person got?
Is he bedridden?
does he need medical attention, which i suppose he does?
Is the family going to take him home or leave him in the care of others?
In our case iceman we took him home, when he needed morphine a nurse visited evry day
otherwise we tended to his evry need.
Hope this helped or did i just confuse you once again, will wait for your reply.
I could go on and on if you want , so i would opt for EUTHANASIA. |
