Death is not treatment, even if it's medically facilitated.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Death is a zero sum game for which there is no cure.
Illness and death are not optional. Patients have a right to determine how they approach them.
Suicide is not a remedy.
That which is so universal as death must be a benefit.
Society doesn't like to deal with death, but it is a natural part of living.
Death is not only an unusually severe punishment, unusual in its pain, in its finality and in its enormity, but is serves no penal purpose more effectively than a less severe punishment.
It's unnatural to believe death usually has a beauty and a concordance and is usually a coming together of your life's work. It leads to frustration for the patient. And it leaves grieving families convinced they did something wrong.
I suppose, if helping a patient die is killing, I suppose I'm a killer.
Death is the cure for all diseases.
I believe it should be possible for someone stricken with a serious and ultimately fatal illness to choose to die peacefully with medical help, rather than suffer.
