The fact that you base your argument on the idea that a cure might be found? Give me a break... you fail to understand how medicine works. It's not like a cure is found overnight... like one day there is no cure and the next day there is. Medicine requires YEARS of research on testing and trials before it becomes available to the public.

You also fail to understand terminal illness. It's not like you're simply bed-ridden with an inconvenient set of symptoms brought about by your illness. These people are often in a lot of pain before they go... (depending on their disease).. so much so that they have to be pumped full of morphine to stem such pain.



Suicide doesn't equate dignity... but ending your days in a sanitized hospital bed kept alive by drugs and machines may not be exactly the way people would like to go.
I'm NOT going to debate someone who throws an tantrum every time someone posts something they don't like.

that said, please go reread that sentence before posting, you will find that you haven't understood it.

Give ME an break, for what did I based it ONLY around? I offer alternatives and reasons FOR my argument NOT just one. I simply say any illness is NOT an justifiable reason why people cannot live fruitful within means.

So everyone should dictate the day and term they die?


1 Corinthians 10: 31-33
31 Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32 Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God. 33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
