Who is really the bad guy here? I had recently read an article about a man suffering for years of a stroke in 2005. His name was Mr. Tony Nicklinson, a 58 year old man that was fighting for his right-to-die and denied it because of legal issues.
Tony Nicklinson, paralyzed from the neck down because of a stroke, had been suffering for years with this forced locked-in syndrome. Over time, he decided that he didn't want to live with this anymore. He described his life as a "living nightmare" as said in the article. He wanted to die because he felt that it was time. When he made the request, his doctor wouldn't give it to him. It was illegal and would be counted as murder on the doctor's part.
This man has been to court. Felt it was completely unfair for him to live on this way when he couldn't take part in anything physical along with his wife and two daughters. He was missing out on life.
He came to the court with a valid case. Waited some time at his home with his family for answers. What he had gotten was not what he had expected. He was left in heartbreak after realizing that he had been denied his right. Devastated, over time he had denied food for a week until the day that he had successfully passed away.
Personally, I felt that they should have given it to him.
Think about it: The majority of us have had pets, correct? Any of you had a dog with a problem? Heart, lungs, kidneys...
I once had a dog. He had heart disease when I was younger. My mom and I thought that it would be best if we had him put down because we didn't want him to suffer any longer. Many people do this, it is quite normal. But when a man who is about 90% disabled to do ANYTHING asks to take him out of his misery, it's inhumane.
What kind of world do we live in?
I know that this is highly opinionated, but I'm sure that others feel the same way. They left him to suffer and it wasn't fair. He just wanted to be free.
What do you think?
