If you child was terminally ill and wanted to die would you help them?

if they said they were in constant pain, and were going to die soon anyway..If you child was terminally ill and wanted to die would you help them?
I'm not God, so no.If you child was terminally ill and wanted to die would you help them?
Yes
I would. We put our pets to sleep when they are in constant pain. We consider it merciful. Why do our loved ones deserve less than we do for our pets?
Yup... Death with dignity.
No, I would show him I love him. I would get him better pain medicine.





Life, with dignity
I can't say what I would do in that situation.
No, but I would try to make them as comfortable as possible until they passed on. I believe our lives are meant to be lived completely and if we are meant to have disease and experience pain, that is part of why we are here and what we need to experience for our souls to evolve. I don't believe suicide is a sin, don't believe in sin at all...it's just that I believe if we cut things short we will be forced to experience them in another life anyway.
No, I would make sure he got good pain meds.
No, because every life is precious until their very last breath!!


You know until then GOD is not finished with them as he can still be used to show us his faith, Grace and salvation.


P.S. my child would also be taught of the loving GOD, Jesus Christ and his blessings he gave to all of us while dying for everyone on the cross at calvary!!
I fully support the Hemlock Society and it's goals.





I remember ages ago while working in a military hospital and a 19 yr old soldier who had no family, no friends, no visitors, dying from Lymphoma wanted a snickers bar so badly but his chart dictated he was to be kept on a strict liquid diet.





He had begged me to sneak him a snickers. I had asked the nurse in charge if it was alright and she absolutely forbade it and warned me I could be court marshaled if found to have granted his request.





The kid died a few days after that but not before I had brought him half a dozen giant snickers--I still remember the look of joy on his face.





The real question is whether we are really concerned with the patient or ourselves and 99.9999% of the time it is with ourselves.





I recommend all you moralist-religionists out there become familiar with the work of Derek Humphry if you can ever get off that high horse of so called divine privilege and join reality for once...
It would break my heart, but yes.
No, they would have to find a way on their own. Carbon Monoxide is a good choice.
