cancer want way
I'm afraid of sudden death. I'd like to know I'm going to die. That's why death row wouldn't be so bad, although it's not pleasant. And cancer, inoperable, wouldn't be bad. That's not pleasant either. But to drop dead suddenly, it's hard on everybody else. My family, my relatives, my friends. It's just not a good way to go. I want to know I'm going to die.
decision advice want
The patient's autonomy always, always should be respected, even if it is absolutely contrary - the decision is contrary to best medical advice and what the physician wants.
mean thinking doctors
What I think a doctor should do is prevent disease, by any means necessary.
dying atheism crime
Dying is not a crime.
knowing looks prove
When history looks back, it will prove what I'll die knowing.
thinking people doe
I think the Supreme Court does have the authority, which is not used, to declare a blanket right for all people, all adults.
illegal-things world things-to-do
I knew I was getting into one of the most illegal things in the world. It was the right thing to do.
thinking agony suffering
First of all, do any of you here think it's a crime to help a suffering human end his agony? Any of you think it is? Say so right now. Well, then, what are we doing here?
plato death-penalty philosopher
I will admit, like Socrates and Aristotle and Plato and some other philosophers, that there are instances where the death penalty would seem appropriate.
killers patient helping
I suppose, if helping a patient die is killing, I suppose I'm a killer.
toilets cleaning demeaning
I'd find it demeaning to be cleaning toilets.
tired blessing boredom
It's the boredom that kills you. You read until you're tired of that. You do crossword puzzles until you're tired of that. This is torture. This is mental torture.
country determination self
If you don't have liberty and self-determination, you've got nothing, that's what this is what this country is built on. And this is the ultimate self-determination, when you determine how and when you're going to die when you're suffering.
choices insecurity adults
I'm for absolute autonomy of the individual, and an adult, competent woman has absolute autonomy. It's her choice.
