    STORIES

EUTHANASIA

  • "Protecting the equality and life of people with disabilities and other chronic conditions is about recognizing that we live in solidarity with others. Caring for and protecting others is based upon recognizing that each human being has equality which cannot only be recognized by words but by actions. Death is truly dignified when it is shared with those who care about that person until their natural death." Alex Schadenberg, Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition.

  •  “John Paul II wrote that ‘the world of human suffering unceasingly calls for, so to speak, another world: the world of human love.’ Suffering unleashes love, it demands our creative response, and a response to alleviate suffering, but never to eliminate the sufferer. Our duty to the suicidal is suicide prevention, and even in the face of a terminal prognosis or incurable condition, never to ‘quit’ on someone and give into suicidal despair. Rather, we must work to relieve unbearable suffering and apply our creativity and imagination to improve quality of life, even when it is in short supply, even in a person’s darkest moments or final days.” from  (A Guide to Discussing Assisted Suicide by Jonathon Van Maren and Blaise Alleyne)

  • Who gets suicide assistance and who gets suicide prevention?When the debate is framed that way it becomes difficult to give anyone suicide assistance—which is the point. If we believe in human dignity and equality then everyone inclined to suicide should get suicide prevention, not suicide assistance.
