Well, I don't see any shame in a terminally ill patient wanting to end their life or using drugs to cope with the pain of an awful disease.
They came well arrest the person after he jumps off a high bridge then. Let's hope no one else gets hurt?
You didnt quote me saying all the things you added to what i said and the context you ignored, try again.

I don't know, I was responding to Ktoyou's comment on that one.

I quoted you directly in your response to Quip. Instead of all this deflection how about you just explain what you meant by your comment? Geez, can't be that difficult can it?

All pain is subjective.
There are people living in those same conditions, or worse, due to mental illness (except for the few weeks to live part).
Many of them are suicidal. Should they be assisted to die?
Again, the pain has little to do with it (the law).

So should all suicide be legalized?
No you didnt do that before, before you added to my words and included "thoughts" i did not state nor maintain, my response was ONLY to quip and what i underlined in his quote, period.
You make it difficult by adding things no one said when you respond to them, like this thing you did:
You inserted something no one said and then ran with it.
Well, that is the procedure that is condoned, yet it seems like a bit of a cop-out to me.
Most would say it is more wrong and damning to ump out of an airplane at 5000 feet?

Really the amount of pain or suffering has nothing to do with assisted suicide laws.
If someone had 10 years to go, and was in worse pain than a terminal patient, his suicide would still be illegal.
It seems strange that someone who'll potentially suffer for longer has to "suck it up," while someone with less time to wait needs to check out immediately.
Shouldn't the guy with a potentially longer time of suffering have a greater right to suicide?

The Gospels would be horrible stories if Jesus told Peter to stab Him right before He got arrested, so He wouldn't have to suffer.
No.
There are young folks who have mental problems; they should be prevented, as they are. I do not think assisted suicide should be legal and if you check Swiss law, they do not allow it done directly, only indirectly.

I don't make it 'difficult' whatsoever and if there was somehow some "change" in context with my own post then I rectified that anyway by directly quoting your own reply. What did you mean by that in response to Quip? Surely you must know if I've somehow misread the context?
:AMR:
Oh get real Angel. What the hell do you think Morphine is used for in relation to cancer?! Look at my response to K in that regard. If you're just here to vent or spoil for an argument instead of debate then look somewhere else. Been down this road with you before and not interested again if this is the way you're gonna act.

Not playing, sorry.

It's all you seem to have been doing since you just ran away from the question I asked. In future it might be an idea to not make such a comment as you did to Quip.

So do you regard it as a sin if someone's on morphine or strong opioid medication?

Couldn't a suicidal person with a mental illness potentially suffer more, and for longer than a terminally ill person?
If so, wouldn't their suicide prevent an even greater amount of suffering than a terminal patient's suicide?
