Ahh, I didn't see that you brought this post over when I brought the thread. It was too much for even some dummies. Notice at the beginning that she didn't say voluntary suicide, but voluntary euthanasia. In that case, who is doing the volunteering?
Decent people would look on that poor young man with the amputated leg and wonder if he will have a decent place to rest, enough food and hopefully later have at least crutches of some sort to get around on. Maybe one day he would get prosthetics so that he can rebuild his life. AG just saw him as consuming resources, resources that she wishes might have gone to her.
My mother, almost 74 years old, lost a leg and toes on the opposite foot to a relatively rare disease a few years ago. In spite of that, she got on with her life and didn't complain. She eventually got her prosthetic leg and she was off walking and helping everyone around her as if nothing happened. Recently, she developed an infection due to her prosthetic leg not fitting right anymore, so she has been relegated to a walker the last couple of months. She still gets around, cooks her own meals as well as always trying to feed us when we come around and does more for friends and family than any dummie would do in the prime of life and health.
I recall reading numerous posts about AG, her trials and tribulations at home and with her health. She hinted at suicidal thoughts before, and really poured it on for sympathy, but she's still here stinking up decent society with her "ideas." This really was one of the most disgusting posts I've seen to date on the dump.
