for minor things, we all have the right to choose but for major or a lot of sensitive issues we just do not have the right, especially issues about life here in my country.

Re: Do people have the right to die how they choose?
The subjet concerning the right to choose the way to die has touched another subjet matter: the existence of God.
Does God really exist?
The real question that's worth be asked is : do we care about our origin? I know the matter here is the way we end our life, but it seems clear it is attached to the way we see and consider our origin.
As a human being, I think every sensed person should ask this question to him/herself or to other people once.
Does one have to go as far as a philosopher can penetrate on this question_.. it depends, but what is sure is that this question is unavoidable. Whether during one's passage at school or through everyday discussions, or anywhere people talk about life, this question will pop up at one time in one's life.
So, what is the answer to this question?
Does God has some businesss to do with our end. Does God even exist.
Is my origin my grand grand ...parents which were at the beginning monkeys/fish/... .
I think one should not be short-sighted as to say my mother gave me life and God has nothing to do with it. This is reducing all the miracles of life to a bunch of nonesense which started some time nobody knows exactly.
We have the choice about how we want to lead our life if we have the mean to do so, but usually people go out of their home to work or to go to school or elsewhere without knowing it is the end for them. Sure, it makes you think, and if I had the choice...?
I often whatch those TV program talking about all the considered weird things in the world: discoveries, church miracles, witchcraft and vodoo, magicians, ghosts, etc. In my country, I also see people victims of black practices and people possessed by evil spirits. I think one should enquire about those things and not underestimate those happenings.
It is easy for a person who has not yet victim of sorcellery to say that it does not exist.
it is easy for a person whose country has not yet experienced war to ignite its sparkle anytime this person is angry.
it is easy for a person who knows nothing about the world of spirit to say God does not exist.
But God does exist. You need to know Him and try Him before being sure of that.
The right to choose the way to die and the fact of using it is for people who are afraid they will end their life in suffering.

I don't agree with that. We can't decided about someone life or when we want to die. We have to think what we want to do in our life and who change. We should be thankful that we are alive.

Re: Do people have the right to die how they choose?
I disagree with that people have the right to die how they choose. The life is an obligation and people can't decide if they want to live or die. We have families and friends who need our love and help. I trust that only God can decide about people's life.

Re: Do people have the right to die how they choose?
In my opinion life is obligation and people must live. We don't have right to die, when we choose this. Life can be difficult, but on the other hand life can be beautiful. I think, that life is finely obligation and I suppose God gives us life, so we can't decide when someone should die or live.

Re: Do people have the right to die how they choose?
In my opinion every human has right to decide how wants to live. We don't have knowledge about somadies feelings, or health. I also think that this right is very important to people who can't live on their own, and they can't change that for their health.

Re: Do people have the right to die how they choose?
It seems to me that everyone decides for himself. We should have right to do whatever we want. If someone want to die, we need to let him die. Every man is the architekt of his own fortune.

Re: Do people have the right to die how they choose?
Death is an integral part of living. It cannot be separated or treat as something beyond living. As such it is impossible to separate this two. Our lives are leading to ours deaths, and our death is only as good as our life was.

Re: Do people have the right to die how they choose?
In my opinion people should have the right to die how they choose. We decide about our live so why don't we can't decide about our death? Sometimes death is the best option when someone can't live how he or she wants to live. They have problems which are based for example on health.

Re: Do people have the right to die how they choose?
So, all of us have only one life. I believe in think that only we can determine about our life. So, if sb is really sick, seriously ill- like cancer or sth like this and there is no chance for him, why he/she have to suffer? )
For me- everything depends on his/her will.

Re: Do people have the right to die how they choose?
In my opinion every person should have a right to make a decision about one's own life. If someone want to die it his private decision. People shouldn't divest other person of life and shouldn't take away someone's choice to die.

People have the right to die how they choose, but it is stupid to die before "our time" will come. We should live as long as possible

In my opinion people have the right to die how they choose. Dying is so important thing and if someone wants to die I think we should let him die as he wants to. It is only this person decision and he has the right to decide how to die.

Re: Do people have the right to die how they choose?
For me it's a very hard topic. People have different opinion. I'm still reading, watching and listening to wise people, but I haven't had my opinion yet.

I think no. People on "die bed" should take wrong decisions, because of painful moment. "God is giving live ans God is taking live."

Re: Do people have the right to die how they choose?
It's really hard to say if people have the right to die how they choose. At one hand, it's our live and we can do whatever we want to, it's our decision if want to die or live. But on the other hand leave family and friends because of the hardships of life is really selfish. We need to think over, especially people who want to commit suicide, are we really that selfish to ruin lives of our loved ones?

I think that shouldn't have the right to die how they choose because sometimes they aren't on some occasions conscious they decisions.

Re: Do people have the right to die how they choose?
YES they do ONLY if they had the choice to exist.
Our choices are only between those 2 point i.e. when we come to existence and death.

Re: Do people have the right to die how they choose?
To answer the question...absolutely. Not because it's a "right," whatever that means, but because there is no reason whatsoever for anyone to be able to regulate how someone else lives their life. And that includes how someone else dies. Most people would prefer to live than to choose to die early, but if someone chooses to die, there's no reason to stop them from doing so.
*if you didn't know, "deterioration," is basically a nice, fancy word for "getting worse." :p
I would imagine that just living a healthy lifestyle in general makes people look younger. After all, ageing is a process of deterioration*, and health by definition is the absence of this process.Krisi wrote:that's nice. what type of exercise? do you have any idea?Vega wrote:if you do sport/exercise you can look young in age like Madonna doesKrisi wrote:

Sometimes we die by accident. I think it's better not to think about being dead. It's better to talk about things that makes us alive and enjoy life.

Life is not a race, it's a gift. Enjoy it, don't rush through it.
