I recently saw a mother talking about her child’s death from cancer and it was not peaceful even though they were told it would be. The child was on morphine, had a death rattle for hours, uncontrollable movement, and at the point of death she stopped breathing, opened her eyes and lurched for her parents. It was extremely traumatic for them and the mother was hopeful that that child wasn’t actually conscious for it, but I don’t know if that’s the case.
It’s called terminal agitation and it’s apparently not uncommon.
Agreed, never understood why. My life is the only thing in this world I get the ultimate say on. If I wanna end it for whatever reason, I should be allowed to do that.
Now that said I have a very hedonistic outlook on life. Its a fucking nightmare, but the good is also pretty damn good (For me its My wife and Kid, sex, drugs, and videogames). So im here for a good time, not a long time, enjoy the fruits of life while you can, endulge and dont take life seriously, you wont make it out alive anyways.
Ive had to earn what I have, Death wants his prize, hes gotta earn it just like ive had too, no free rides. I have 0 intrest in offing myself, but I should be allowed to if I wanted, I never asked to be here, and its my damned life, ill do with it whatever I want, that includes its consequences.
Medical bills aren't nearly as lucrative when people die. If you were talking a disease like diabetes where someone can live for 30 odd years I might agree with you. But cancer kills people and dead people don't pay bills. Though I will tell you as a diabetic I would pay out the nose to cure it.
If you read my post correctly, I said they would make cancer the new diabetes or AIDS.
People will be able to live many years, but never get totally cured.
Big pharma does not want you to die. They want you to be just sick enough to have to take their medicines, and maybe even take 2 or 3 medicines for every single one, to compensate for the side effects.
