"Life is good if you get to live it". My standard when somebody is whining.Ran into a catarkemous old man this week...
"It's a beautiful day out there"
Old man: "Every day you"re alive is a good day. Those that think otherwise can stop sucking up my air".
Don't know why his comment hit me like it did....perhaps because it had truth in it.

“it appears that, for every three or four acts of voluntary euthanasia, the Dutch regime generates one case of a patient being killed without consent.” Moreover, he continues, euthanasia and assisted suicide are often motivated less by the desire to alleviate pain or respect patient autonomy than by a physician’s subjective belief that the patient’s quality of life is “degrading” or “hopeless.”On a related note and related to the PhD thesis of the semi-maverick Justice Gorsuch:
Gorsuch on euthanasia and assisted suicide – and abortion? - SCOTUSblog
In 2004, Neil Gorsuch was awarded a doctorate in legal philosophy by the University of Oxford, the British institution where he studied as a Marshall Scholar. Gorsuch’s doctoral thesis on euthanasia and assisted suicide served as the basis for his 2006 book, “The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthawww.scotusblog.com
Yeah, quite a bit higher than I would've anticipated.“it appears that, for every three or four acts of voluntary euthanasia, the Dutch regime generates one case of a patient being killed without consent.” Moreover, he continues, euthanasia and assisted suicide are often motivated less by the desire to alleviate pain or respect patient autonomy than by a physician’s subjective belief that the patient’s quality of life is “degrading” or “hopeless.”
Dude I will never freaking forget this: I was like 14 or 15 and in some Catholic youth group type thing, and we were in a meeting and somebody brought up euthanasia and singled me out and asked me what I thought about it.What's all this talk about "Youth in Asia"? I think we need to worry more about the youth in America! Oh wait...

What about using Hospice?Dude I will never freaking forget this: I was like 14 or 15 and in some Catholic youth group type thing, and we were in a meeting and somebody brought up euthanasia and singled me out and asked me what I thought about it.
I dead straight and earnestly responded "what do I think about young people in Asia?". It was the perfect blind spot. Knew the concept but had never heard the word. Completely oblivious. It was amazing.
Anyway, I sleep on a literal pile of guns, I don't need the government's permission to flip my own off switch if need be. It should stay illegal if only to keep the ghouls in government from pushing it on people.
This one is touching for me. My late wife died from a brain infection. Doctors had told her from the beginning that it could happen, it was rare, but it was a possibility. She went to sleep one day and never woke up. She was in a hospital for 10 days and they did everything they could to bring her out of it even though brain scans showed no activity from day 1 in the hospital, they sent her home under hospice care to die. One doctor said she could live several weeks, another said days. Hospice hooked up with a morphine drip and she was gone in 3 days. Yes, the morphine sped up the dying process brought and end quicker than just letting her body die slowly. I'm a believer in Jesus Christ and have wondered if I let them do the right thing. In my heart we did the right thing. We (doctors and family) really have no idea what happens to a person that is classified as "brain dead". I've heard stories of people that have have come back to life after being dead for several minutes and they have told what doctors, nurses and others have said while they were "dead".What about using Hospice?
