Does TA believe in "the right to die"
I guess this goes out to mostly the USA TAs but i was wondering what everyone thought.
"The term "right to die" refers to various issues related to the decision of whether an individual who could continue to live with the aid of life support, or in a diminished or enfeebled capacity, should be allowed to die. In some cases, it refers to the idea that a person with a terminal illness and in serious condition should be allowed to commit suicide before death would otherwise occur. The concept is often referred to as dying with dignity. The question of who�if anyone�should be empowered to make these decisions is often central to the debate."
So does Ta believe in the right to die?
God said it. I believe it. That settles it.
******** has spoken. There is no more need for discussion.
William, I want you to tell me of the Bauharoque.

If you want to die you should be able to die. It's as simple as that (though I'm sure many would say it's not).
it depends.
I get more upset that the husband gets all the right to chose if the wife should die or not, over immediate family.
If it's the person's sole decision then I would definitely back them as it is their life and their choice. (even if I may not agree with it)
It's such a touchy & depressing subject.

I believe in doing whatever is best for the patient. Primary emphasis in patient care is given to the right to choose, so if the patient is of the capacity to make that decision for his/herself, then their wishes should be honored.
Now, these types of ethical dilemmas get tricky when you consider that the term 'patient' is meant to include family members as well, and that bioethics is firmly rooted in utilitarianism.
It also gets tricky in cases where the patient wants to die but does not actually have the power to kill himself. Should medical personnel or family members be legally forced to kill such a patient for the sake of "honoring the right to die?"
edit: bah, gimme a minute, lol.

yes i do. it's my fucking body and if i want to die, fuck off and let me die.
people should be allowed the choice to not suffer.
i always laugh at people that are against this, because they think it is ok to euthanize an animal in pain because it is the right thing to do....but grandma should be forced to live 3 years attached to a machine even if she does not want to be.
my uncle just recently died from cancer. he was in his 50s. i can't even begin to tell you how sad it was to see him almost 100 lbs thinner and completely bald and pale the last time i saw him. my dad recently told me that at one point during his chemo, he called my dad crying and telling my dad to go there and clean up the mess for after he shoots himself so my grandma wouldn't find him. he wanted to kill himself. i would have totally understood/been happy if he had.
i'll go further and extend that people who do not have terminal illness and do not wish to be alive should have the right to die too.
i never got how the law makes people that try suicide and fail be able to get arrested for it. Great idea, let's waste tax money to try and "help" someone who doesn't want it. I say give him a gun with one bullet in it.

as long as obama does not raise my taxes for the extra bullet imo.

you don't pity yourself when you are planted in the earth.
if someone wants to die, let them die. If they are only doing it because they want attention, kill them.
People who REALLY want to kill themselves/die will be successful. Those people usually don't tell anyone about it or make a fuss about it.
well if they want to die they should do it without adversely affecting others imo...sounds cold but death is the last step. if you are on death's door and in pain i say do what is going to be best but being sad is not a good reason to die.
