Interesting experiences and views.What about our psychology student?Thanks for that. Life is precious boss. We are we live and we die.Don't be so clinical about it.Trust me when you got a baby you how special it is. I just mean it from that point of view.
Well I suppose if many did not prolong the suffering of measles,mumps and other diseases we would not have all those wonderful vaccines out there for our babies. It is just progress with a moral cost.
What about our psychology student? I agree with you Joe about Dementia. I wish the standard of care was so much better and there was a place you can trust. But care homes have been privatised alot good and bad. Why should my mom regret going into those places.
Why should someone be allowed to decide to die? Because at the time, their mental state of being might not be right. I mean what if one change ones mind. Just like going for a wedding. You would be late for the funeral!
Well from another point of view. Suffering? what is the definition for this law they are going to make? Its going to have to cover alot of things. I try to get the ball rolling:
Suffering itself is not evil, for it has a good purpose, to let the person who is suffering know that something is wrong, i.e. that something is causing pain.In making humanity free with the ability to shape one's own attitude, God has left each person with choosing how they will respond to suffering. Suffering is valuable. Anything worth having (such as family, friends, honor, love, knowledge, virtue, etc.) is worth suffering for, and the person is purified through perseverence and struggle in their motivation towards attaining this good. Choosing to accept suffering through one's attitude for a greater good is a good thing. If it is worth suffering for a greater good, than God is benevolent in allowing it. For to remove suffering would remove an essential tool for humanity. What would life be without the battles? What would matter if worthwhile was easily obtained? What would life be without choice? Free-will and consequences means evil and suffering, but also the ability to love and be loved; and any love worth having means free-choice.
