They will not wake up because they see nothing wrong in what they see to be relief from suffering, they think euthanasia is an act of kindness. Tell them about people starving to death, they think two weeks horror is better than years of coma. Better for whom? The next of kin? The Health Service, or abroad, the insurance company? NOT for the patient. If every person suffering with an incurable painful illness had been put down, there would have been little or no research. A doctor can observe the results of new treatments, by observing progress or deterioration of patients. Before drugs were developed,. for arthritis treatment, people suffered severely, constantly. If ever euthanisa is regarded as morally acceptable, research will diminish. At present, many say unmarried women who become pregnant, have their babies, and then draw benefits, should have aborted their babies, because mother and child are a "drain on the state". Heaven help decent people who refuse to encourage their suffering loved ones to volunteer for death, they will be regarded as social pariahs, for "costing the Health Service money". People who glibly advocate euthanasia, should bear in mind, if their kids get polio, treatments are available now, precisely there used to be a belief in preserving life at all cost. There is little hope of a change in general attitudes, unless people return to acknowledging God as creator, our Father. |
