After 50 years
old, my attention to health and death has gradually occupied more of space in
my brain.
Many people like
to plan for their pregnancy, having a child. Planned pregnancy, planned new
life.
We don’t allow a
person to plan for his death in a comfortable way, surrounded by all family
members, have a sedative injection to fall asleep and followed by another heart
suppressing injection to die in sleep peacefully. We don’t allow it even it is
the most important business of this person; even it is a business only matter
to this person and his loved ones. As bystanders, we, the society, don’t allow
it. Sorry, it is just not up to you, as of today.
Many people
euthanize our loved pets to have a planned and organized peaceful environment
for their last moments, we don’t allow this right to a human, no matter how
desperate he demands.
“Suicide is not an
option. Get help.”; but help is not always available.
“Face the
challenge and be strong.”; who are we to judge?
The fact is: another high
school young man killed himself recently because his pain from his illness was
unbearable. I can hardly
imagine what emotional suffering a person has to go through when he decides to
end his live.
