Euthanasia is one of those things that I can totally see why people would take opposing sides.
It doesn't matter how quickly we make a point, a man will inevitably cut us off in order to make the same point, and probably take twice as long.
I was lucky that my parents are nurses, and they advocated for me. One doctor came in, stood in the door and said I was "malingering" and should get sent to the psych facility. Wouldn't even come in the room to do an exam, he just based his opinion on my chart and stood in the doorway. My dad chased him down the hall…
Call me prejudiced but I don't trust white guys with dreads.

This debate has become really ridiculous.

When I was suddenly given a cancer diagnosis, we were stunned. But, I later found out from my mother that he called and told her that she didn't need to worry. He was not ever leaving me and that he would take care of her only child no matter what.

In my case, the fetus was missing a large portion of its brain, among other medical issues. And yes, it's incredibly painful for the parent(s), and…
i get what you're saying and agree with you for the most part, but i also think that hearing positive words from someone (not necessarily a celebrity, just anyone) you thought wouldn't care about you for any reason at all may just give you a pause and rethink any actions you were previously thinking of doing. even if…
