 Alleviating Suffering

We often find ourselves wondering, "How can I decide to end someone's suffering?" But the truth is that it's not our choice to make. We never know all angles of a person, so we don't have the right to judge them. In cases like these, it may be best for us to put their need for pain relief before our own moral dilemma. It is a difficult decision and should not be taken lightly. However, when we are confident that all other treatments have failed and pain management is no longer an option then euthanasia should be considered in order to alleviate suffering as gently as possible.

Alleviating Suffering

We all face difficult decisions in life – some more than others. The decision to end another person's life can be a very difficult one. However, it is not one that should be taken lightly and must be approached with full understanding of its implications. Despite the fact that euthanasia is still illegal in most countries, there are always situations in which it may make more sense for us to relieve suffering than for us to allow another person continue suffering.

For example, a child may have to endure pain that can only be alleviated with the assistance of an adult due to their age or physical limitations. When an adult suffers from an incurable disease such as cancer or lung disease they often develop intolerable pain that has no reasonable recourse other than suicide (or euthanasia). Even though we may not agree with the idea of suicide or euthanasia, it is important to remember that these are sometimes the only choices for patients who have no other means of escape. The answer may not always be a clear one, but it is important for us to remember that euthanasia for some patients is the option that allows them to make a decision about how they want to end their lives in a more comfortable way.

Alleviating suffering isn't as easy as taking away just pain – in some cases, it's much more complicated than that. In cases such as psychologically traumatic or terminal illnesses (such as cancer), alleviating someone's suffering begins by understanding what their needs are and how best to meet them. For example, a child who is dying from cancer may be able to fulfill their last wish of jumping on a trampoline before they die. In these situations, we can help alleviate suffering by allowing the child to live out their final days in an environment that is comfortable and contented rather than one where they are faced with only pain and trauma.

It is also important for us to remember that just because someone decides to take their own life or accept euthanasia due to unbearable suffering doesn't mean that they don't want to live anymore. Many people who contract terminal illnesses are grateful for the time they have had on earth and wish to end their lives in order to protect those around them from unnecessary stress or grief.

Euthanasia is a difficult topic and the decision to be made should not be taken lightly. It is often best for us to inform ourselves on the matter in order to make an informed decision when faced with such situations in the future. [ARTICLE END]

Smiling Blue Skies (true story)

"My name is Smiling Blue Skies, I'm 46 years old, and I was paralyzed from my neck down since birth. My parents decided since day one that I would never have a life of pain or suffering. So they arranged my standing bed, which is raised to the ceiling, 24 hours a day…such a cruel way to treat a person down for the count.

By age 5 I had already lost much to terminal cancer. My parents were proud that we were able to bring me home and keep me alive for 4 more years, but at last I was put into my bed. And now here I lie, in my bed – no feet no hands no legs just paralyzed from the neck down – this is how my life has been for most of it. Life as a robot is pretty tragic.

My parents couldn't bear to see me like this, so they discussed with me my wishes on my own death. I said "Mom and Dad, I have been a happy healthy child who loves life, I know there are people who would love to live if they were in my place. So if there's something to die for, let me be the one who dies."

So here I am…46 years of life wasted away in a bed. When I look back at my life, it seems almost like a dream. But as it's ending now, it seems more like a nightmare. My parents have since passed away and now it is all up to me. I am the last of my family and I wish for them not to see me like this. I wish for them to remember me as a happy, healthy child, who loved life. And most importantly, they deserve to be remembered as a good and kind family that showed mercy on their child's life.

I've been fasting this week and once I break my fast I will drink some sleeping pills that have been given to me by my doctor. The next day I will take the rest of the pills except for some painkillers in case of emergency. I have stayed true all my life to my word and now I hope that my parents can rest in peace and know that I am now free, floating in the clouds, a beautiful blue sky...

I've never seen the color of the sky, but as I die, I'm sure you will let me see it. Am I dead yet? Will you let me see the sky?" "

Conclusion

Hopefully by now you have begun to understand the impact of euthanasia, suicide and assisted suicide laws on the many people involved. Some persons may feel assisted suicide should be an option when a person has no hope of recovery. Other persons believe that anyone who commits suicide or is murdered because of mental illness should not be able to be considered as someone who was killed.

These are extremely difficult issues to address, but euthanasia and suicide are real-world issues that will continue to worsen if we continue to ignore them. As we have seen, there are several important factors that need to be considered when discussing the issue of euthanasia, including cultural differences and religious beliefs.
