Ke1t Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I attribute her change of attitude, to the intervention of this guy: I am a Catholic seminarian. I have terminal brain cancer. This is my response to Brittany Maynard. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/i-am-a-catholic-seminarian.-i-have-terminal-brain-cancer.-this-is-my-respon I was at a funeral thing yesterday, and one of the folks I got talking to happened to send their kids to a Jesuit All Boys School. Seemed to be getting a great education, but I worry how an all male environment affects kids in the long term. You look at previous all-male societies and rampant homosexuality seems to have been the order of the day. The Greek militaries in the Ancient World, perfect example. Boys grow up in the absence of female company, they hit that magic age where they're ready to fuck anything with a pulse, and their only interaction is with other males. Pretty inevitable what's going to happen. The priesthood seems to be perfectly set-up to produce sexual predators... an absence of female companionship and all the vulnerable children they can predator. 2 Link to comment

Brave choice, I would rather have the choice to take my own life than live my final days suffering on a hospital bed. Link to comment

Clydeside_Sheep Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 a Jesuit All Boys School. I got married in a Jesuit Parish, which has a private co-ed school attached. ive rather gone off the Jesuits though, has-beens, esp with Franny who is proving a poor Pontiff. Seemed to be getting a great education The best. Jesuits were particularly good teachers; their former methods are still used by traditionalists today. Jesuits are burnt out these days, youngest one ive met is in his 60s. but I worry how an all male environment affects kids in the long term. You'll be against gay adoption then? The priesthood seems to be perfectly set-up to produce sexual predators.. No, the predators entered, they were not produced. Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Well, I am disappointed the woman took her own life. A cowardly and misguided thing to do, alas. Its not good to be frightened of life. If I was in her family, Id have warned her "If you top yourself, I'll effing kill you" What next? Folk talking the petted lip and killing themself because they dont earn 100k a year? Link to comment

No, fair play to her I say. It was a brave choice. She was dying, she just chose to curtail a few months of pain. I don't know why this offends some people. Link to comment

I don't know why this offends some people. I am not offended, but saddened (you know how sensitive I am). She wouldnt have been in any pain at all, she would be on morphine etc. Its a myth that these people are seeking to escape pain. With our modern health systems and medicines, there is no reason for anyone to ever experience lengthy pain. Its just fear - they are frightened of what may happen to them, as the illness progresses. Her choice increases the pressure on all other terminal patients to do the same, whereas many would prefer to savour every day they can. Maybe lying in a hospital bed all day watchin shite on the telly isnt everyones cup of tea, but - hey - you're a long time dead. My father in law is dying of cancer currently - if he had thrown in the towel and killed himself earlier, he would have not seen his daughter (my wife) move into her family home, nor his grandsons (from other daughter) 1st birthday. Nor would he have gotten to enjoy my many hospice vists to see him etc! Family is worth living for, even if you are infirm or elderly. Link to comment

Speaking from a MEDICAL background, people do exist in pain in their final moments despite morphine, midazolam etc. You can only give so much before you poison them and add to their troubles. I worked in palliative care for a year, if folk want to die then I'm all for it. God doesn't exist in those places, only people do. It's people who make the difference.

Clydeside_Sheep Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yes that is true, which is why it is a choice, it is not for everybody A choice for how long? The NHS already subtley bump folk off, via starving them to death etc. And your point re not being in pain because of morphine is complete bollocks. If the medicine is properly done, patients should be in no pain at all. Thats the case with my FIL who doesnt experince pain in his condition - my wife is a pharmacist and she confirmed that the capability is there to ensure people are not enduring pain. I once shattered my elbow in a brawl (!) and it was the worst pain ever. Once I was hooked up to the aul' Morphine however, the pain was totally gone and I was as happy as larry. It made a really amazing difference - it was so painful that I demanded to be wheeled naked through the hospital, rather than put on a paper gown (bending my arm was sore, and they had cut me out of my clothes) I also tried to bite a doctor who touched my elbow to examine it. Thats how bad it was. But with morphine - nothing but calm serenity and zero pain. Link to comment

Its true it takes a bit of fine tuning - but we do have effective pain relief. You are right its a fine balance between pain relief and completely sedating them. Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Often, it can be that people who are pro-family members choosing suicide - they are really thinking of themselves, not their sick relative. They are pro the decision so they dont need to go down to the hospital every day, so they dont need to deal with the sadness, so they dont need to help their ill loved-one wash, dress or get to the toilet. etc etc But I think families should be there for one another, even if it is difficult at times, or even if they have to miss Eastenders etc. 2 Link to comment

chaos_defrost Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 CS my dad died of lung cancer. He never ended his own life and to say that he didn't suffer any pain towards the end of his life is just total ignorance. If someone's given morphine in hospital, they're obviously in pain in the first place. My dad ended up getting pumped full of that much drugs that he wouldn't have had a clue what was going on around him before he died. You made a couple of valid points but you have a habit of inventing shit to support whatever argument you support. Link to comment
