My Mum had Dementia ,and one day asked me in the lift in Debenhams ...Would I help her die!! The lift was full ,and a deathly silence came waiting for my reply.All I could say was I would love to help her but I could be sent to prison.Her reply was 'Thats ok ,I won't be here'.
I know Mum had had enough and did not want to carry on.I would like to think I could have had the strength to help her.My Dad had Motor Neurone Disease back in the 80's.If I had known about Dignitas then and he had wanted I would have taken him there.

When my mum was dying, i would have taken the option of hastening it if that had been possible. the line from King Lear is the way I looked at it
"O, let him pass! he hates him much that would upon the rack of this tough world. stretch him out longer."

I have done it for animals i love, how could I not do as much for people I love?

It's different Rose.Thats all can say.But I know what you mean.

if you let your pet suffer you can be prosecuted

but we are allowed to let our loved ones suffer

there is something just not right

yes, i have asked specky he said he couldnt, i would never force the issue and if there was a risk off prison for him then no
if he asked me when there was nothing could be done for him and his life was hell yes i would and take prison as it came
i also understand some could take advantage , well they should be treated as murders, it must be sorted so careful and fool proof, its working else where it could work here . xx

definatly agree.animals ar.nt left to suffer ,why should humans be left to.

I would probably do it in some circumstances. When the persons life can no longer give them freedom from pain and no interest in life, then it is cruelty to keep on giving them treatment to keep them breathing.

use of di-morphine within *guidelines* over a few days,,,,,has the same effect,,,,,this is the cocktail given to cancer patients,it shuts organs down and weakens the heart eventually causing it to fail.
why isnt this classed as -------assisted,!!!

I see a need to hasten.....different circumstances would need lots of carefull medical input.

kay ive pmd you xx

GPs hasten death with morphine every day and a damn good thing too. I am completely in favour of people who choose to end their own lives being able to do so with the support of the medical services and their loved ones.

I am totally with Uggers with what he said.

Family and friends Yes, But there are a few on here that I would gladly help with or without a request.**M**
