I can you see where you're coming from and I agree that in most cases of suicidal thoughts in a patient the persons request probably shouldn't be adheard too. However I'm talking about the feelings of suicide due too an injury. Sorry if I didn't make that clear in the other post, my thoughts probably became befuddled. Anyways I'm saying what if someone is suffering great pain from a disease, where this no official cure and wants to kill themselves instead of taking treatment that may keep them alive longer, but they will still suffer from the pain. Then they are given the choice of wether to kill themselves and they understand the situation of their choice, should they not be able to allowed the right to death. Yes they had suicidal thoughts, but it rooted from the pain of their injury/disease.

While she did currently make the decision not to undergo the operation due to the fact that she did not want to undergo the trauma of the operation or the potential recovery, the fact is that not taking the operation will greatly increase her likelihood of early (earlier) death. So, while her decision is reversible, I am guessing that her time limit to reverse her decision is fairly short and her future quality of life will go down the longer that she waits (obviously). (As an aside to address the thread title; of the many reasons given against euthanasia, I only consider feasibility of implementation (cognitive stability of the patient), necessity (potential cures, etc), and consent under pressure (economic issues, etc) to be valid points of contention which must be solved before euthanasia can be legally supported.) |
