Why is this bothering so many people here?

I'm sorry, but if I had a terminal illness and knew (or at least would be under the medically qualified impression) that I only had a certain amount of time left, I'm takong it.

I've seen what a few different cancers does to a person when they're terminal. I've also seen what end stage Alzheimer's and Dementia does to a person at the end. It's suffering on a level that no one here can fully comprehend. It's a level of suffering that no one here should be forced to endure, either.

I'm a Christian. I pray, I try my best to live my life according to Christ, but I have a hard time believing even Christ would want someone to suffer in that manner, because Je knew thst none of us are Him. We have limits to our spiritual power, He didn't. He could heal the unhealable, as he showed numerous times.

If you are right with Him, then leaving the his life on your own terms isn't going to be an issue for you in that next life. It just isn't. This is one of the issues I have with organized religion. They teach things that have been added to His Word by fallible men. There are things in the Bible that just don't follow the teachings of Jesus, and I believe the sanction against suicide is one of them. At least, suicide in the way we're talking about here.

No one on this Earth has any right to tell another person what they can or cannot do with their own body. Abortion for abortion's sake should not be allowed. Keeping someone alive when they are dying in a horrible way is tantamount to torture and should not be allowed. In fact, it should be illegal to force a terminally ill person to stay alive if they don't want to.

It isn't a lack of value of the human life. If anything it's the opposite. They value their life so much that they don't want to suffer any longer, so they shouldn't be forced to suffer a horrible end.
