I wouldn't lie about something like this and what about if they said 'ok so how about a trip to switzerland' shudder.

if i lived in your country and needed help badly enough, i'd lie about it. i *highly* doubt a social worker would make that kind of a comment if you mentioned your need for counseling and/or were actively suicidal.

...because i agree with your point that terminally ill people should have the right to decide for themselves whether or not they should die.
i don't understand. what was so inappropriate about me posting :werd: ?

Interesting! All this time I thought it was a typo for "weird". :lol:

Then why the smilie being the way it looks?

Well--that's the issue then--I don't speak "slang".

i have no idea what the emoticon looks like, so i can't answer that question.
i don't speak slang either, but i'm still familiar with words that are used in this fashion.

i do too. he should replace it with an emoticon that looks happy or excited -- or one with text that says "word" followed by an exclamation point. :lol:

I agree. That is how mis-communication/mis-understandings happens. :)

:hmm: Maybe we should have Jiro be the new emoticon designer for AD???:giggle:

I have no problem with death and dying.

I think it is a beautiful process.

Ditto here. I no longer worry about death as much as I think that we all go somewhere spiritually (no, not heaven) after we die and we come back.

And if a terminally-ill patient wants to end their own suffering with the blessing of their loved ones (even without as well), then that is THEIR choice and NOT the choice of the morality police or the state.
