Nevada, Iowa | I didn't mean to stir up bad memories for anyone, I probably should've thought that through a little more.
I guess it came up for me when a elderly friend passed several years ago. We found out after the fact that she stopped taking medications for anything. It's not certain but the shadow in my mind is now that she wanted to go and curtailing the meds "likely" caused her death. I guess I don't consider that suicide as her life had been maintained "likely" due only to the drugs.
I'm not so sure that increasing the doses of morphine until life ceases is as clear cut to me. However, I don't want unneeded suffering for someone or myself either. I am not so sure God would want us to suffer that way as well. The situation you described is again more clear cut, someone else administered the dosage. It's a rough and jagged edge my mind has with this issue. | |
