The final
decision: Since she is no pain, let her have some quality of life for
a few more weeks/months. And if at some point she is in pain -and living
becomes unbearable- then we would like to ask the Doctors to give her a lethal
dosage of morphine, or whatever drug is tolerated by the Spanish authorities.
My
brothers (3), my sister, and I, have decided for this. As many others in Europe,
I am non religious. But one of my brothers is a practicing Catholic, the rest
are in that big gray area of moderate believers. It has nothing to do with
religion. It has to do with compassion.
When the Doctors indicate that there is no hope,
and only miserable life ahead, Government should be able to look beyond religious dogma, and offer its citizens
a choice to end their lives, The patient should be entitled to request
this service, and allowed to push the delivery button himself/herself.
Dr.
Kevorkian, it is a huge injustice to humanity that you end up in jail for trying
to help people.
