Doctor of Death? Pain Relief?

At this very minute, my husband's aunt is dying from cancer. She was diagnosed back in March of this year and it has all ready spread to other parts of her body. Chemo. Therapy is not working anymore; her liver is almost consumed by cancer now. She is on Morphine constantly and has developed ulcers from the Morphine causing her to throw up blood. She is literally just waiting to die. They didn't expect her to make it to Thanksgiving but some how she managed. The Morphine is not even helping and she is in constant pain, she's losing her sight, her hearing and can not talk very coherently.

Last month, my moms dog was diagnosed with Cancer. He was literally full of Cancer so she decided the best thing to do for him was to have him Euthanized to save him from going through so much pain.

So my question is, why is it the "right" thing to do when a person decides to have their animal Euthanized because the animal does not deserve to be in pain, however, it is illegal for a human to make that same decision? I'm sure most of you remember Dr. Kevorkian a.k.a. "Dr. Death" who participated in 120 assisted suicides. He went to prison for 8 years and still believe that people have the right to choose when they die!

Why shouldn't we have that right?? If we have some painful disease that is eventually going to kill us anyway, why shouldn't we be able to end our life now instead of waiting to suffer through days, months, even years of pain and torture just to die?? Who the Hell does the Government think they are to take that right away from us? It is OUR body, our blood, our organs, our skin, our brain, why shouldn't we have that right to choose when to die? Why is suicide illegal? As if this country is not overpopulated anyway why should we care if someone wants to end their life? Why should anyone else have the right to decide that for us?

Do you believe in assisted suicide? Yes or no.. and WHY?? I'm very curious!

Random stuff!

I don't really do much random posting, just vents and rants here. I'm going to do little random posts once in awhile whenever I feel like it. My monday is starting off crappy already. My twins are just insane today. They always drive me crazy. I often wonder if they have ADHD (seriously) well, I think my son definitely could have it and my daughter just has problems paying attention. My oldest is getting ready to start school in September. He's sooo excited about going to school but mostly excited about getting to ride a bus, lol! He had to get a physical last week before he can start school and everything went well there. ...Besides my kids driving me crazy today our dog (a big ass pit bull) pooped upstairs and it stunk up the whole damned house, I swear to you I could even smell it on the basement steps!!!! He's usually very good about telling us when he has to go outside so I dont know what his problem was this morning. A few other things happened this morning to just put me in a bad mood! I'm trying to calm down because I hate being in a bad mood, it just seems to happen a lot, lol! I have to work this afternoon..I work from home and my kids know when my attention is somewhere else and as soon as they know that I'm working then they start getting into everything!

I found out yesterday that my grandmother has cancer. She's 94 but has been in pretty good health for her age. She's never had any kinds of alzheimers or any real health problems up til now. She had a lump removed and the doctors confirmed that it was cancer. Because of her age there really isn't much they can do about it and they dont know if they got it all. Her brother died a few years ago from cancer. I just hope that she's not in a lot of pain. My grandma and I have always been very close. She babysat me when I was little and when I got older for awhile while I was out of work she paid me to stay with her all day and help her do things around the house. She moved into an assisted living home a few years ago just because it became harder for her to get around by herself and make her owns meals. She didn't want to go but now she really enjoys it there. She has her own little apartment and has a lot of friends there. She said she's not going to worry about the cancer but I'm sure she's scared inside. We have all known that because of her age she wont be around for much longer (her father lived to be 99)..but it's going to be very hard on me when she passes. Just thinking about it now gets me teary eyed. I was her only grandchild and the funny thing is, my mom was not married when she got pregnant and at first my grandma didnt want anything to do with me because of that (old fashioned) and now i'm her pride and joy. I'm just thankful that she lived to see me get married and have children of my own and my kids always put a big smile on her face!

Anyway, just felt like babbling a little bit. I'm sure I'll have something else to rant about later in the week or something....
