Paralyzed RTA Victim, Refused Right to Die........

Oh its is a contraversial topic;
i remember the Tony Nicklinson case very well. As a roman catholic it is against my belief however life experience has given me new perspective. one is not to  comdemn
 A personal friend of mine Christina Schmaski  who posted on the CCC self terminated after living 6 years living as a high quad. We had talked often, but i never thought she would do it. In her case i disagree with her mindset as she sure had much to offer yet she thought otherwise. In the case of locked in syndrome, self termination in the case of Tony Nicklinson was the ultimate act of giving, he did not want to see his wife suffer any more and give her the freedom of being free to enjoy her own life. He too was tormented and deserved peace and rest too. well thats my two cents

I have mixed feelings on this one to be honest...I'm an animal lover and we don't allow our animals to suffer when it comes down to serious conditions/illnesses but then on the other hand i struggle with the idea of giving your life up.

I guess the issue here is about people having the right to choose their own end....especially if faced with pain and suffering that is longterm. My views are not accountable and i cannot judge anothers or have the right to.....

I just find it very sad that some individuals have to consider this as an option.

I wonder if one day it will become a human right..to be able to choose how to die...?

I know in hospitals some people seem to be given high doses of morphine when they are seriously ill...i've heard it said that it is often the morphine dose that kills someone before the ilness does....so is this inducing an easier end for some people but not a recognized practice by law.

The headline is misleading neither man was refused "The right to die" they were refused the right to be killed which is a very different thing.

I have no religious objection to suicide but these attempts to make the killing of sick and disabled people different in law to others worries me a great deal. The disabled holocaust perpetrated by the Nazis began by individuals asking for the right to end their lives and ended in Aktion T4. We should beware the unintended consequences of changing the law.

Yes I fear the feeling of being burdensome may be the driver in many of these cases.
