Euthanasia -
Dying with Dignity
A man is diagnosed with terminal cancer. The progression is rapid. Within a few months, things go from first detected, to extreme pain that even morphine won't stop. When the pain gets too be too much, what does our medical and legal community offer? Basically, just "Deal with it." Otherwise, you'll just have to take your own life. So, he's left with consciously finding a way to end the misery.
Most solutions are far from gentle. Taking ones own life. What torment a man must go through to end the pain.
Euthanasia has been legal in Switzerland for over 50 years
and Norway joined them this year. There just aren't that many
countries that seem to care about keeping a man's dignity in tact
when he dies. How can we be so cruel? Who really benefits from our
cruelty? Think about it. You might next.
How many euthanasia deaths have been
recorded in the world?
At least 3,147.
There have been at least 3,147 deaths from euthanasia reported
worldwide. This is based on data from the Disability and Health
Journal published in January 2010 that reported 401 assisted suicide
deaths in Washington state by the end of 2009, 246 assisted suicide
deaths in Oregon from 1998 to 2005 reported by the International Task
Force on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide, and 2,500 euthanasia deaths
in the Netherlands as of 2009 reported by the Euthanasia Prevention
Coaltition. Exact figures may very well be higher than this
total.
