51 hours left to live
    #14076319 - 03/06/11 04:13 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

so this guy whose going to die is posting on reddit as he can't do much except stay in bed. he's had cancer for years and it just recently spread to his brain and he doesn't want anymore surgeries.

here's his original post.

Quote:

On Tuesday I'll finally end my battle with cancer thanks to Oregon's Death with dignity act. As part of my preparations I've ended my pain medication and am trying to regain what little dignity and clarity I can.

Who I was doesn't matter. I'm in pain, I'm tired and I'm finally being granted a small shred of respect. Feel free to AMA if you're so inclined.




http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/fy6yz/51_hours_left_to_live/

it got me thinking besides how sorry i feel the guy, if you had a few days to live how would you feel about your life currently and the way your living it?

i know for me it would be to let go of the past and to stop giving myself so much anxiety that's constantly getting in the way of letting me live.

i think his post is a good reminder of how easy it is to take everything for granted.

You pretty much summed it up right there. The big question I would ask myself is; have I achieved what I wanted to achieve in this short life span that I've been given? Its stories like thiese that open your eyes and make you want to change your perspective on life.

Hopefully, the member of reddit dies with his dignity intact. I know too many people that have passed away from cancer and I know how painful, not only on the individual but his/her surrounding family. Hopefully, this individual lived his life to the max!

So you'd wait until you're about to die to do that?

My thoughts are with him.
Euthanasia can give people that little comfort to take matters in there own hands and to end it the way and the time they want.

Without the technology present these days i would have died an agonizing death about 2 years ago myself. For me every day is a extra day.

give this man a heroic dose so he might realize and laugh at the futility of everything.

edit: his reddit thingy is heart melting, so many people wishing him farewell. i sure hope

lol no i probably worded that wrong, i meant it hypothetically. i meant if i was going to die in a few days, looking back that's what i would regret. the guys post definitely made me realize i need to make changes.

and the fucked up thing is he said he's gotten some hate mail for his decision for suicide, probably from religious nut jobs.

although I support Death with dignity I dont support calling something different than what it is. Suicide is suicide be it assisted or not.

They prefer deaths like that to be called euthanasia instead of suicide. Since those people will die of natural causes anyway, it just shortens the agony. I am glad you support assisted death. My believes are that in terminal illnesses people should have their own choice.
