We do it for animals but we hesitate for humans. Truly pathetic.
Watched my mom die from terminal cancer of the liver and she suffered terribly. Looked like she was ready to give birth when her heart finally stopped. My sibling is a hardcore Christian and when my mom asked about assisted suicide, sibling expressed her uselessly ignorant point of view, explaining that she wouldn't be able to be there to "inject" her. Needless to say, that's not how it happens.
People shouldn't be made to suffer, and fuck religious people that push that horseshit dogma on others. Had to hear my mom cry, questioning her faith that if God existed, why would he make people suffer like this. It was terrible.
That goes for some oncologists, too. My mother's liver was completely destroyed (that they somehow didn't notice while she was in chemo for her breast cancer) and the oncologist wanted to continue treating her. Another doctor, who broke the news to us and showed us the images of her liver, came to our defense and tore that oncologist a new one. That was already after the first round of chemo had started and Mom was basically incoherent. I had watched her handle chemo the first time around like a champion. This time, it practically killed her. Had she kept doing chemo, she would have died much faster and it would have been terrible.
I don't know what else to say. Fuck cancer, fuck religious dogma and fuck physicians that don't keep the patients best interests at heart.
