You got the right

You got the right to live

But, what if your life is not that good? What if you long so much for the end of your life. Is there a right as well to end your life?  

I do not talk about the political decisions and ethic disckussions,  I prefer to look to the human side.

If someone has so much pain, that he constantly is under strong suffering, we can give him medication, so that he is not feeling the pain too much. The more pain, the more medication, until the point that the medication is not only taking away the pain, but as well a part of life.

If someone is so desperate, that he sees no reason to live further, not even for his family, his children, does he have the right to decide to end his life?  

Do we tell him that he can not do that (but he can!),  or do we understand, that not only pain is a reason to give up?
Will it  really help to try to convince someone who is convinced that the best way is to step out?


When someone sees no fun in life, and prefers to drink as much, so that (s)he can forget and not need to do anything anymore, should we stop it, or should we just let him/her go and see how more and more life slips away from her/him? What is it is your partner, your best friend, can you let the other decide about his own life?

It definitely is not easy to take the last step, to decide by yourself that you want to end everything. No matter how we look at it, the person itself is the only one who can take that step. No matter if it is taking pills, jumping from the bridge, or sitting at the couch, drinking until things end, it is a thing that we easily can judge, but how much right do we have in that?

There are people, however, who is told that they have not long to live anymore. Then it is not a free choice anymore. Or maybe it is, still.  Maybe you want to fight. Maybe you loose the fight, but you did try, anyway.

And who knows, when you fight, there is always a chance to win. Maybe just a tiny little bit of a chance.
Is it worth to fight for it?  And, who decides, in the end, if you do fight?

Live wise. Take  the decisions with what you feel well. And if you choose to suffer, do realize that others will suffer with you. Just as that others will fight with you, if you choose that.
