That was the part that freaked me out-that and the whole prolife-lets go bomb children to bits in iraq crowd....I'm not as severely disabled to need that level of help(feeding tube) but I feel sometimes like everyone would be so much less put upon(because I do need more help just to surivive than healthy people) if I did expire and from reading some of the communities on lj im starting to realize that attitude is cultural imprinting, not my own. I think people should be allowed to live or die according to their own needs and ideas not someone elses, and if someone is willing to take care of the person who has no legal instrument saying they want to die it would seem more humane to let them do so. And as my bf pointed out-if they want to die even then a shot type euthanasia thats instant is a lot more sensible than starvation.
Yea, most people don't get how much social pressure effects real life... things we think are intimate decisions aren't really. They're built up from a whole 100 generations of history and socio-psychology. I say, stuff society and think clear, live clear, love clear. There is way to much wrong with the way we do things. And life is a one chance deal once it exists. People need to quit trying to rule others. And I so totally agree with you.
