Twenty-two percent (29/131) of a group of AIDS patients died by physician-assisted suicide (PAS) or euthanasia, compared to about two percent of all deaths. Based on an examination of each case, "[There was not] any substantial shortening of life by euthanasia/PAS...most of these patients would have died naturally within one month."
one month?? that seems like a select group of individuals. people who have aids are no different in their outlook on life than normal people. for all in tense and purpose, people with aids tend to be more enlightened about pain and suffering, be it physical or emotionall than normal people, and when i say normal, i mean the median score on the curve. that data also showed an astounding statistic. 22% of aids patients commited suicide, assisted. that's a high number imho. i belong in that 22%. i wonder how many patients of cancer, aids, or anything physically depleting would commit suicide and discuss the subject openly and vividly. would they believe that there's a God out there, and He will be the judge of your life?
regardless of your belief in the hereinafter, you can understand the whole thing as a personal matter. that because it's a personal matter, it belongs on the list of things to contemplate. the pros and cons of a suicide wish list. that they and other non-interested parties who become involved in this matter, they too much agree that suicide is a personal matter best left up to you and your maker. whether they would support an assisted suicide is still a long way off. even the mere discussion of the matter is brought up and made known to the professional medical staff, things start to take on the tone of a person fighting for his rights. and losing.
it should be known that this site believes in assisted suicide. euthanasia is still a concept that requires a lot of knowledge and understanding. that involves other people. i'm only interested in things that involve moi. self-centered yes, but that's what a blog is. fields of poopy has had a long run, as a political junkie at first, then mellowed out with the suicide tracking. i'm hoping that someone learn something they didn't know before they read my rants. and boy can the kid talk on and on and on and on. really. i get tired of it in the 3rd paragraph. but i tough it out and read on. NOT! hah, no really, not.
suicide is a fleeting thought today. i have to reach out and grab it to get into the mode. for some reason it's avoiding me. i'll get interested in something else. ya, right. suicide overwrites all previous ways of living. we live to enjoy life to its fullest. we die when the time is right, and only God knows that for sure. i don't believe that God is controlling me and my thoughts, but He's certainly privvy to the inner most thoughts, and whether they're suicideal or not, should be treated with dignity and respect.
i long for a day when humans get rid of money and all things capitalistic. not really for the soviet style oppression, but getting rid of money would go a long long way to being an enlightened civilization. we need aliens to come make themselves known. we need a stargate to happen. imagine that. oh well. it was a thought worthy of a script. money is evil in it's purest form. having it and not having it, brings on a slew of problems. ya cant live without it, ya cant live with it. actually, money means very little to me any more. i spoze if i was starving and had no money, i would be singing a different tune. but money hardly means what it used to mean. i don't spend on things i like i used to.
so, what's a kid like you doing in a place like this, huh. a rhetorical question if ever there was any. but a kid like you don't belong in here. actually, all my life i've heard that from ppl. not just my friends, but my acquaintances too. that i was really from another place, another time, and just never felt comfortable around a crowd of people. even when i was a dj, i wouldn't ever shine the lights in the booth so the people can see their dj. i would rather not, be seen. anyway, i really liked being a dj. i played in clubs in miami, key west, orlando? i think one in orlando i went to it. but i dunno. it's like st. louis. don't remember coming into town, only that i woke up one afternoon and being told that i got in the nighbefore and dj'd at a club in town, then came back to the baths. and going to sleep right aweay. so when i woke, i had some explaining to do. to somebody. maybe not. i never had a love in pittsburgh. anyway, commercial's over.
