Imagine this: You've been diagnosed with a sickness that has gottn you bed ridden. You can't do anything on your own. Can't eat. Can't take a bath. Can't dress yourself. You basically can't move on your own. You're in pain most of the time and your company consists of random if not seldom visits from friends and family. Your doctor tells you that this is the way you'll live for the rest of your life. The machines that you are hooked onto is basically what's keeping you alive. There is no cure. There is no way of getting better. This disease is irreversible. The pain gets worse everyday and you know that soon you will pass on. Now, if you had the oppurtunity, would you end your pain. I don't want to ask if you would kill youself, it's more like asking if you would let yourself go.
Is having a doctor disconnect you from you life machine suicide? I mean you're not doing it to yourself right? You gave consent to a licensed doctor and have warned your family and friends. This being Euthanasia by consent. I mean if I were in that situation I would probably let myself go. Who wants to be in pain day after day, and it only getting worse by the minute. I have already warned my spouse that I don't want to be living by machines. I believe that's not how God intended to be. I don't want to say that if God put a disease in your life that you should accept it, move on , then die. I don't want to believe that he would want that. If I have a cold I would want to cure it. But something like this, where my life will no longer be normal, where I would hate myself and envy others every day, I can't live like that. Who could?
Now, If I had a family member in that situation, it's a hard descision. If my spouse was terminally ill, alive by modern technology but still in pain, it'll break me to see him like that. However, i would be selfish and not want him to leave me. What do you do in a situation like that?
