Completely honest? I wouldn’t have made it near as far as him after those losses. I’ve been married to my wonderful wife for 28 years and we have a 26 year old child. I’m 50, my wife is 53. If she were to pass away before me, I doubt I’ll last a month before following her. She’s everything to me, and my kid understands this. I don’t really want to be here without her.

It's the religious aspect that makes this so controversial. It's considered suicide by many. However, nowhere in the Bible, not one single time, does it say anything about you being punished in any way for suicide. It doesn't say you will go to damnation, it doesn't say God will be mad, it doesn't even say that you shouldn't do it. Nothing. The Bible says NOTHING about any consequences for suicide.

My father was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer 3 months ago. We were initially told 3-5 years, one doc said 5-10 maybe. Well here we are, 3 months later and he’s about to enter hospice. I went over the end of life program with him, and he thought about it. I think the fact that his sister committed suicide 14 years ago and how it effected the family….even though this is COMPLETELY different, I think he struggles with it all. But just knowing that he had the option is such a comforting feeling. So, he has decided to ride this out to the end. Over 80% of his bone marrow is cancerous, it’s in his liver and lungs now, and like this gentleman the cancer is in just too many spots. Watching him go through this with such grace and dignity, I couldn’t imagine a braver man to be able to call my father. I love him so much, he’s been such a great dad. Always been here in times of need, busted his ass working while I was growing up to give me a wonderful childhood. The world will be a little less bright of a place without him in it. Thank you to whoever reads this, saying these things out loud even to strangers helps me a lot. Please, if you have parents in your life you love, please spend as much time with them as possible. If you are maybe fighting with them, and haven’t spoke to them in years, please reach out and squash that beef. Life is too short. I love you dad

As a nurse, I see what happens at the end. I see bedsores, pain, wasting away to nothing, puking from medication..etc. I also see people suffer at the end, and the families knowing that they are suffering and not letting us give them pain meds, forcing food down their throats, forcing them to take a multitude of vitamins (even when they can barely swallow). We should be allowed to make our own decisions on how we want to die, with dignity.

I saw that too as 12 y.o. kid, when my grandma was passing away in our family house. My family was not able to let her go, she was after multiple strokes, without much contact to the reality, screaming at nights from bedsores. After my grandma was not able to breath on her own some night, my mother even brought some respiratory device, and she was ventilated 2 additional days in pain. Thankfully, our family doctor came and explained, that it does not make any sense, and she is causing more harm than good for my grandma.

My mum had a cancer in her womb which was removed but it came back in her stomach.she lost so much weight and literally starved to death. Mum was around 5 stone when her organs eventually shut down and she died. No dignity in her final weeks as she started to wet herself and was unable to stand, walk or even talk. It was horrible for her. I hope one day death with dignity becomes the norm. and people who are dying can choose when.

I had a baby that was born with a fatal disease called infantile spasms. At 3 months of age I was told there was nothing more they could do. As I looked around her hospital room and all the tubes her little body was hooked up to, I asked myself, " why should we prolong her life if there's no hope"? She was suffering. I went to the Drs. And asked them if we could expediate her death as I could not see her suffer another moment longer. He agreed...... Sometimes we have to make decisions that is in our own best interest and certainly in the best interest of thoese unable to make that decision for themselves. I commend you sir. Rest in peace🙏

Greg Fawcett, I certainly understand your views and respect them. I have peacefully and lovingly let my dearly loved fur-babies cross over in my arms and for those of sound mind should be allowed to decided. My concerns are for those that for whatever reason, cannot choose for themselves. Not everyone has the selfless loving of others at heart. Maybe seeing one more sunrise, a child's smile, listening to one more day of nature's concert or another sunset is worth the pain of living. The thought of less than loving scenarios taking a life is frightening and tragic. Such a complex situation. We can choose to take our lives in less controlled and in more unsightly ways. This would seem to be a better option. Great caution and thought is required.

But just knowing that he had the option is such a comforting feeling. So, he has decided to ride this out to the end. Over 80% of his bone marrow is cancerous, it’s in his liver and lungs now, and like this gentleman the cancer is in just too many spots. Watching him go through this with such grace and dignity, I couldn’t imagine a braver man to be able to call my father. I love him so much, he’s been such a great dad. Always been here in times of need, busted his ass working while I was growing up to give me a wonderful childhood. The world will be a little less bright of a place without him in it. Thank you to whoever reads this, saying these things out loud even to strangers helps me a lot. Please, if you have parents in your life you love, please spend as much time with them as possible.

I'm glad we got to spend some great times together towards the end, but the final week was an absolute disaster. He stayed home after chemo failed, and my family and I took turns staying with him day and night. He basically lived alone. He was an absolute beast of a human. Ripped, still playing sports.

I see both ends of this. For me, I got my dog Bruce as a rescue from the Amish as an older dog. He was 13 when I got him. A breeding dog who was only $50(a steal, I paid $50 for someone who was priceless) I didn’t know what shape he was in health wise or if he’d be hard to house train etc. but what I did know was I had to get him. He’d never been in a car, slept in a house or played with a toy before I got him. Watching this old Beagle play with his biological daughters(my sister told me about him and got puppies from them) and my cat who thinks she’s a dog was the best reward I could have wanted for bringing him in. When Bruce died, I had him for 3.5 years and I felt very lucky that I had him in my life. I didn’t look at it as a reason to be sad because I was lucky that he was there when I needed him. Some people never have that. We’re all put on the earth for a reason and you never know when someone or something could be taken away from you, that’s one of the things and older dog taught me. While we’re here or while he was here you can make an impact on someone’s life and he made an impact on my life. His last few days I tried to ride it out and realized that while he was having a hard time breathing and walking I was hoping it would pass, which wasn’t fair to him. I was being selfish and I knew it was time. I got a script for Lasix the day before from the vet to him him get that fluid out and help him breathe better so I could spend a day with him and I wanted him to be able to enjoy it. It was his day. We went and played with his daughters for the last time, saw my parents, went for a big walk, I got him two filets and some yams, we went to my neighbors who had his “girlfriend” for them to say goodbye. She was a pit lab mix and older as well, she died about 3 weeks before Bruce did. The day of he was pretty weak and had an accident inside and had that look of “I’m sorry.” and I’ll never forget how hard it was for him to slowly walk to me and he probably though I would scold him, but I didn’t. I told him “I’m not mad buddy.” We went to the vet and they took him back to get everything ready while I wait in the car to go back with him(this was in peak 2020 covid in April) my daughter and also took our cat to say goodbye and We go back with him and we were just indescribably sad and we knew that it was the right choice. To go out with dignity and knowing that his favorite people were with him until the very end doubtlessly made him pass away feeling like the most loved dog in the world.

I admire his lack of fear and his decision to live and die on his own terms. He will no longer have pain and now he is with his wife and daughters. I am so glad I watched this. I am so glad he was able to make his own choice.

No one is talking about where you will spend ETERNITY🥲 People are hopeless without HOPE. You can have hope and it’s found by accepting Jesus as your Savior. Please if you haven’t accepted Him into your ❤️ and your present and future is SECURE! The A B C's of salvation: A-Admit that you are a sinner Romans 3:10 Romans 3:23 B- Believe that Jesus is Lord , died for your sins and rose from the dead. Romans 5:8 Romans 6:23 C- Call upon his name. Romans 10:9 Romans 10:13 Jesus Christ is coming back as promised. Rapture of church first, 7 years of great Tribulation then he returns. Do you know Jesus Christ as your savior? Where will you spend eternity? Please choose wisely.

I myself don't like the idea of offing myself, but for people who prefer to not go through needless suffering it can be a blessing. Humans truly are cruel and selfish creatures.

​@@maureenjossick429it does go into healthy tissues and entwines into everything! There is no way to "Cut it out" once it's spread so much. I think what the person is saying is they, cut off a big tumor maybe? Or cancer that was visible on the body. But even so, the cancer cells go deep into the tissue (Depending on the type of cancer) but they do spread sort of like a really bad infection or bad MRSA abscess! that keeps getting bigger and bigger and spreading further and further. Once it's in multiple spots it's really difficult to cure and your chances of survival dwindle, especially if it's in your lymph nodes. My Wife's Grandma had really aggressive Lung cancer. Before she passed away, she had it everywhere! It had spread into her kidneys and other organs and even into her brain! It's crazy how fast certain cancers grow. This happened in a couple of weeks, time. It grew that much! And was in her lymph nodes too. Cancer is such a Horrible illness! I truly wish "Big pharma" cared about people and allowed cures to be made! But they won't! because they want people on meds for as long as they can be! Because it gives them a nice, steady flow of massive income! If there were cures they would go out of business.

I have stage 4 melanoma as well. Spread all over quickly. Lots of treatment lots of surgery. It can be brutal and I wish I had the positivity this guy shows. It's so hard and what little time I was told I had left has dragged on for 9 years. I wish I could be grateful for the extra time but I've been taking chemo medication twice a day everyday for the past 8 years or so. The cancer pops up in new places from time to time and I have to have another surgery which are usually major surgeries with long, hard recoveries. It sounds so selfish to say when some people would give anything for that much extra time but it hasn't been a very enjoyable time. Don't want to die right now and I really enjoyed life before but I sometimes wish it had just taken me at the beginning. None of my friends have ever come to see me or call. In their defense I never tried to get in touch with anyone either but I wasn't really expecting that to happen. My wife left too. I know some people don't know what to say or how to act around someone that's sick so I don't blame them but it would be nice to have some support. There were never any fund raisers or benefits. No cards, get togethers and no thoughts and prayers. Not a single text. Lonely, depressed, sick and going through the painful motions. Pretty intense when you seriously consider this as an option.

Whilst it may not seem like it, Mr Harms was one of the lucky ones. Over here in the UK, our terminally ill patients have no 'Option B' and are FORCED do die in horrible agony, mostly in hospice/hospital care away from home and friends, unless they can afford to fly to somewhere like Dignitas. I watched my Grandmother die in agony from breast cancer in 1982, and my Father from lung and brain cancer in 2003, again in agony. I couldn't help but think afterwards, how many times these scenes were being replicated, in homes up and down the United Kingdom. We need to do MORE for our terminal patients, offering them that final choice....At the end of the day, voluntary euthanasia can STILL BE REFUSED, but it needs to be OFFERED TOO!

I know these two choices to die are different, but the suffering is there. Because I love my Pop so much, I lost it when I found out his decision. The death for cancer and dementia is inevitable, but I was being selfish to want him to live, not realizing his motive. God put that on my heart, so I accepted my Pop's decision. It's a very hard thing to accept, but the choice isn't mine to make.

There are ways to treat pain, with and without meds. And of course there's this- My father was given 3 months. He was so weak he could barely make it to the bathroom. That was over two and a half years ago, and he's doing better than he was before the cancer. This guy looks like was doing pretty damn good even the day before he decided to do it.
