Thoughts on dying

Its really easy to want to die, when all you've got left to lose is your life. That's been on my mind alot lately. Being disabled makes you a person of no worth, your life or suffering of no account, to many people. You will be tossed on the scrap heap simply because you are unable. You are no longer a valued member of society, even in the Chrsitian world by many. People will steal any fight you have in you to over come, by making you and your life, worthless, meaningless, and purposeless. Its teh reasons behind many choosing to take assisted suicide when dealing with these long term degenerative illnesses. They realized when they have no worth or no value, they're just a burden to their loved ones. They can feel pressured into it, simply out of dury to their loved ones. The house of Lord's is debating legalizing assisted suicide in the UK this week. Start of the slippery slope? Maybe, but if society didn't make people who are weaker in whatever way, feel worthless and rob there life of every little bit of value and worth and all they are left with is suffering, and their life is meaningless to them, themselves and of no account to anyone else, then maybe it wouldn't be the choice of many even if it was legalized. |
