Euthanasia

[Happy2]

Touching story Contrarian
I often see a story like that And I wonder It is very easy for all of us to say, when I am sick I want to pass on and leave this world behind
while we are fit and healthy Then there is the moment when we are told we have a terminal illness and the amazing ability for the human mind/body to scrap and fight for every minute we have left on this earth
My late wife was always sympathetic to euthanasia But she never even mentioned the subject in her final months She wanted as much time with her family and friends as she could possibly get
She too, became very attached to the men and women of the hospice Contrarian

My mother has always been against Euthanasia and volunteers for Hospice at the local hospitals, and up until recently hasn't had any reason to question her views on this until her cousin who is 55 and normally healthy and full of life suffered from a burst brain aneurysm which left her a physical vegetable unable to move except her eyes and with great effort say a couple of words occasionally although mentally she's apparently her normal self.

My mother has visited her in hospital regularly over the last year or so and has talk to her, read her books etc however she told me this evening while almost in tears that her cousin spoke to her for the first time last week - just a few words and with what appeared to be a great amount of effort was "I'm dead, let me die". My mother was beside herself as she had thought her cousin was going well because she didn't look upset, it was just that she was physically unable to convey her extreme level of distress until now.
