No, you're not. I totally respect Sahani, and she's been nothing but lovely to me, but I have to agree with you on this one. However, maybe we misunderstood her comment?CommMayo wrote: ↑02 Oct 2018, 09:17Am I the only person who sees the complete irony in this statement?Sahani Nimandra wrote: ↑02 Oct 2018, 00:17 Life wasn't something that was given freely and we aren't eligible to take it away as well. Committing euthanasia is a crime worth punishing with death. No matter what his intentions were taking away a person's life is unacceptable.

Physician Assisted Suicide presents a lot of geometrically conflicting issues, socially and personally.
I can't say the reasoning behind McDowell's decision was in err, but I would have to be concerned with his motivations of often providing an "Occam's Razor" approach to solving issues. If it's the easiest way to get something done and over with, Hiram will often endorse that choice (i.e, Tasha + Billie) so as to not make more trouble.
P.A.S. has its benefits on the grieving process and the patient alike, but McDowell doesn't seem genuine enough for that to be a sufficient answer. I'd need to reflect on these comments on here some more. Very thought provoking!

I am in agreement here. Such a controversial question requires one to examine their beliefs. As for me, I believe that God loves me and has each of my days numbered. Neither I nor my doctor should take the decision out of God's hands.

The soul I can not create, I must not take It, no matter how terrible the situation is. Let us surrender it to God

I agree, euthanasia is very hard. I'm so sad for some people to come to a choice between their loved ones on life and death. It seems so scary
