Dying With Dignity

[gWaPito]

and would anyone with a sound mind want to end their life? and who decides if they have a sound mind, a psychiatrist or psychologist ?

I've watched a murder trial (Jodi Aris) she slaughtered her ex b/f (she shot in the head, stabbed 27 times and she cut his throat from ear to ear) she claimed self defense also Domestic violence, the defense had 3 'expert' psychologist stating she suffered from DV and post traumatic stress disorder, the prosecution had 2 expert psychologist saying this was untrue


so don't expect 'experts' to agree if someone has capacity to decide, also that capacity (dementia etc) can fluctuate, they might want to die today but next week who knows.. and i don't think any MEDICAL doctors would not want to be involved in this.

one of the most harrowing situations I've been in was having to take my moms dog to the vets to be humanely 'put down' she had cancer and many other things wrong with her. i had been in that situation before a few times, I always help hold the dog while the vet injected it, and slowly but peacefully the dog would die.

not this time thou, the dog which I had lived with for more than 12yrs, even thou she was very weak and seemed to have lost the will to live, she struggled and managed to put up a fight when the vet injected her, it seemed like at least a minute of her in severe pain and gasping form breath and struggling before she died. never again i said i would own a dog.

this was only a 'dog' but imagine if if was a relative
