How can a doctor tell u u have 6 months 2 live? He is not God.
1. Doctors never give you a precise date in which you'll die. It's all an estimation.
2. Doctors give estimations based on other similar events. In this case, she was given about 6 months based on how long other patients with similar forms of cancer generally live. It's not that simple, but that's the basic gist of how it works.
IDK I think Joel Osteen once said, a doctor told his mom she was going to die in a couple of months but his mom is alright. My doctors told me if I didnt take my meds my symptoms for my schizophrenia will come back.
Doctors always leave room for error. Their estimations are sometimes wrong because they are only human. There are things doctors either overlook or don't understand that makes some patients outliers.
Im happy God address him and told him you are not going to do that to my child. I knew something was up when i started taking the meds. It helps me but they want to play games with me. THANK God, Dad was there with me. He told them to overdose me, and when God told u something u better do it. Now im schizophrenia free. LOL Satan is mad that he cant mess with my mind. im just too wise.
For one reason or another, you're an exception. Either the doctor misdiagnosed you, your schizophrenia went away for one reason or another, or a number of possible things (including "God did it"). But there are so many people out there who don't get better, who go crazy when they don't take their meds.
In this case, this woman had cancer and she wasn't going to recover. She began to suffer more and more each day - she was getting much worse. She was having seizures regularly. She went from "possibly dying from cancer" to "you're almost no doubt going to die from cancer".
She could have lived through this - but that was an incredibly unlikely scenario. Everyone talks about surviving cancer patients not realizing how little the cancer spread in these exceptional cases. They forget that the few people who survive cancer are rare exceptions.
This mentality of keeping people alive is born out of the non believers fear that death means the end and its important to preserve life for as long as possible , as Christians we know that our life on earth is just the start and our life continues after our bodies die.
Wrong. Both believers and non-beliers strive to keep their loved ones alive for as long as possible. But when people begin to suffer, it's often the non-believers who are ready to let go. Believers believe suicide is a sin, and therefore feel those who are suffering should tough it out until God takes them himself.
Obviously there will be exceptions on both sides. But for the most part, it's Christians who oppose assisted suicide.
Tragic for sure....I bet she wishes she could change her mind if she was lost and without the blood of Christ covering her......and yes...when our society begins to accept this type of practice...makes me wonder what is next...euthanasia of the elderly and or sick children.......!
It depends on what we base our decisions on. If we believe people have a right to do with their own body as they please, including suicide, then we don't have to worry about euthanasia of the elderly or of children since it would be non-consensual.
It's like saying, "If we allow people to defend their homes from invaders using guns, then what next?! Do we allow people to shoot others for sport?" It's a slippery slope fallacy in which you're ignoring the basic principle policies are founded on.
I don't know if you understand what the word inoperable means...but she was going to die. No stopping that. So instead of waiting in agonizing pain while the cancer slowly killed her she decided to go out at a time of her choosing. If you are going to die either way, why does it matter? She left before any of the serious pain and side effects kicked in. Besides what right do you have to say what someone else who is dying of a terminal disease can do with their life?
I agree completely. If you believe assisted suicide is a sin, even if it's to escape suffering of a terminal illness, then you can cling onto life for as long as possible. But why should that give you a right to prevent other people from killing themselves?
If acceptance of God is a choice, then so should assisted suicide - whether it's a sin or not. If you think it's wrong, preach! Tell the world how wrong it is! But ultimately you shouldn't force them to accept your standards of living, you need to let them make that decision. (All of this assuming we abide by the non-coercion principle.)
Obviously, we shouldn't be allowed to kill sick people who want to live. But we should be able to decide what we do with our own bodies.
God is the creator of life.He is the one who gives it and he's the one who takes it away.We do not have a right to take life.Being a Christian I'm surprised you don't feel the same way.
Somebody is racing to your home to kill your family. You can't get a hold of anybody to help you and you can't reach your family to warn them. Your only option is to kill the offender. Would it be a sin to kill him as a means of protecting you family?
If you said yes, then this means it's not as black and white as "only God can decide who lives and dies". It means there's an exception to this rule. If there's an exception to the rule, then we must lay out parameters as to why the exception is allowed. Does this mean assisted suicide is okay? Not necessarily. But it does mean we can't simply rely on the argument "Only God can decide who lives and dies" since clearly that's not always the case.
If you said no, then I guess there's no contradiction in your logic. Congrats.
