Society must help, at least by supporting the difficulties faced by the patient, and not just show him/her euthanasia as the only alternative left.<br /><br />As I said in my piece, we all need to look at the issue (in general) and the cases (one by one) with more compassion and open-mindedness, less dogmatism. Until now, I think, the debate has been too polarized by the "accept/reject euthanasia" on philosophical/religious grounds...Nidhal Guessoumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12638764091228065424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-68051481173651050202010-05-06T23:51:23.124-04:002010-05-06T23:51:23.124-04:00Interesting take....

Ah! sorry its patients wish. But who decides what is threshold of pain/time of suffering. For some a prick is equal to car crash injury ...because people accept or not we do have interindividual variability on all levels (I guerss thats why we are individuals). <br /><br />And with regards to suicide, I aint sure what mental state of self pity people end up with and sadly have take such extreme steps.But isnt is that we as a society are responsible for those people because we have made those blurred standards of life/lifestyle/intellect and pressurize individuals to stand up to those fake standards of living. I am doing a little study on depression and not surprising - patients who have social pressures (you dont have figure, looks height, weight, intellect???), lack of support from family, child molestation, previously raped individuals are in more numbers on the suicidal ideation list than not. Isnt moral deprivation of society (which I guess majorly is rooted with lack of religiosity ) playing a major role here.Sifar's Safarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16584844498029989452noreply@blogger.com
