Right To Die

The right to die should be as much of a fundamental right as a right to life. In fact, death is as natural as life itself, for "all that lives must die." And those who fear death simply hide behind their faux morality pretending to care about "life" while those who are dying are forced to experience every bit of pain imaginable while they shuffle loose their mortal coil. Only demons in hell would revel in such agony, along with those "believers" in hell who think "life comes from God," so that God therefore demands we must suffer in agony all the horrendous tortures that God can inflict upon a person, before we dare lift a finger to alleviate any of it. 

The fear that a person experiences when facing certain death is the cause of at least as much suffering as the physical pain that person will be forced to endure as the bloody hands of one serial killing disease or another finds ever more cruel and hellish ways to do its worst.

Experiments done to monitor the human brain in response to electric shocks associated with a flashing light, showed that subjects who were unable to determine when they would experience the shock were in a greater state of mental distress than they were when the shock was finally administered. 

As a result, the shock itself was transformed into a form of relief. Hence, the pain itself was applied to numb the even greater pain of anticipating that same pain.

In this way, then, to force a person to endure their life to the bitter end, withholding from them whatever developments in technology we could have come up with by now to facilitate a transition that is as natural as life itself, one which we are all hurling head long toward however much we forget or deny that we are, is today one of the greatest forms of evil in the world. For it assumes the face of moral certitude, but only in order to allow time to act like Jack the Ripper and torture its victims without interruption.  

I can think of nothing more inhumane than the idea that we must be more humane to an animal than we are to a human being.
