My Mom had lung/brain cancer at the age of 44. She was in SO much pain that my father had to give her morphine shots. She went through chemotherapy, lost the sight in her left eye and eventually was confined to a wheelchair. This was a woman who at one time was so full of life. I only wish Dr. Kevorkian was around back in 1973.
I truly believe in human euthanization. But...there has to be absolutely, positively NO DOUBT that there is no way the person's life will ever improve and go back to the way it was before the disease and that whatever the disease they have is terminal.
I've told my friends and family that if I ever get so bad that I just sit in a chair or bed, drool and have to be fed, bathed and diapered, then please put me out of my misery.
Jack Kevorkian is my hero and I always supported and still do support his work. No one, and I mean NO ONE has the right to tell me whether or not I have the right to end my own life.
