I also feel that there are degrees of terminal past the point of begging which could be considered as torture not to have mercy be the end. The inability to communicate having gone through the process of decline but to still be aware of your surroundings in some sort of unplugged way. I guess my whole reason for feeling that way would be compassion. That decision to make is however not mine to make. It is just my perspective. :) I can see your perspective.

When she was a nurse practioner who did believe in euthenasia, she had the opportunity to home nurse one of her mentors and idols in life. He begged for it, but lived with his mother who was apparently quite a witch. She said she fought with the idea for many weeks, and finally told him she is assuming God was telling her it wasn't her place. He eventually made peace with his mother after she accepted the inevitable, and within a day he was gone. I may be off the wall with this one, but her words changed my attitude quite a bit. Even at the end when there's no hope, there may be business to finish to complete the story.

I feel there are a different set of circumstances surrounds those types of decisions. My statements are not pertaining to terminally ill patients.

I think we need a new sect of religion called psychospiritual as it is already much talked about by many other people. Except, I think the others need to revaluate the necessity of the science that goes behind the psychology as well. (I don't know, Google search, don't ask.) No, seriously. I think that Jung clearly states an arguement that is testimony to his genius. It takes a humble man to realise the forces greater than himself. It takes a genius to be able to articulate with his eloquency. However, doesn't it take a clear mind to make rational decisions as well. Of sound mind and body would provide good rationale as to why his genius leaves little arguement to oppose. Without a clear state of mind we lack the tools necessary to do what is right. Perspective has many scales for what is right and wrong but if the lens is dirty we can justify anything to be the right thing. Of course we have a general guide line albeit religion, philosophy, science or just a set of simple set of moral and ethical principles. If we resolve that we could not hurt another, the same may not be said of ourselves. Why and how can we justify this? Sometimes, I guess we are just content with saying I don't know, rather than because it's the right thing to do. Now, stop and think, could you go and harm the one closest to you in an act of anger or otherwise and not feel regret? If you could, then your value of all life does not measure against the standard as it 'should be'. So, if you can see the value of not harming those around you, maliciously, then you should also see the fault of taking your own life. The decision you make is an act of violence to others. Their guilt resides and their life continues. So, outside of faith, although the decision you make is your own its not your right to do so. We are bound by this physical shell and what we posses inside resides all within. Commit yourself to it in its entirety. So, I’ve thought about this a little.
