Vatican: Assisted suicide, euthanasia "intrinsically evil" | AP News Okay, here is my personal story about this. My daughter had her best friend who at the young age of 18, committed suicide on her 18th birthday by overdosing on pills that she had saved up since she turned 17. This young woman had planned this for a whole year, to die on her 18th birthday for a "present" for the rest of the world. To say this caused my daughter to become very depressed is an understatement. She still hasn't got over it and probably never will. No, this was not assisted suicide. But it is very similar. She assisted herself unto death. She selfishly only thought about herself while the rest of the world suffered from it, her mom and dad, her brothers and sisters, her uncle and aunts, her grandparents, her friends, her church fellowship, her classmates, her friends, everybody. I still remember her myself as I used to drive her and my daughter all over the place before they became able to drive themselves around. She also spent time at our house. If you had ever seen her, you wouldn't believe for a second she was capable of doing such a terrible thing as committing suicide. When a person commits suicide by euthanasia, it is like telling the world that your life is now worthless and needs to end, that perhaps all life is worthless if you do not like what is happening, that life is not precious, that it is not always worth living. Suicide is just plain wrong, no matter what the circumstances are.
Well, you would pull this Metallica video out of a hat. But yeah, a lot of people think that their life is bad enough to want to end it. Most of the time the problem is only temporary. Given time, our life will end anyway. Why speed it up?
I'm sorry to hear about your daughters suffering and sincerely hope she can overcome it in time. To your headline .. "Vatican: Assisted suicide, 'euthanasia'intrinsically evil' " seems to be something they think warrants interference while "World wide Vatican Assisted child abuse" constantly hidden by the Vatican, wasn't even important until they were found guilty of it and has not been declared "intrinsically evil" by them. Go figure
Thanks for what you said about my daughter. I hope she gets over it in time also. If the Catholics did not declare that their molestation issues were important until after they were found guilty, then that is beyond absurd and "intrinsically evil" itself.
