Death and it's power over life

Yes we all die, my question is, if we can choose when we die, when and under what circumstances?

Seeing a friend dying, I'm almost positive, when I become incapable of caring for myself, whether because of illness, old age and or whatever reasons, I would want to die.

If today at my age, and involved in an accident that cripples me? I want to die.

What about you?

NOTE : ICU showed me how terribly difficult is, to be there lying like a vegetable. One member of the staff told me some have been there for so long and yet life seems so void and meaningless.

Now I do feel compelled to agree on euthanasia.

Do you? Why not? If you don't?

Being Catholic, I was taught, only God can take our life.

Today I want to challenge God, why so? At least in my mind.
Hi LJ,wine

To get straight to the point: I would prefer to die in my sleep.banana

Guess that option only goes to a lucky (relatively) few. JMO.

Id rather not question the Y's etc but life is a treasure. Value it while you can.bouquet
Now that's very nice if it's the case for me6, too.

Nice to see you Luke. wine
Told my children if I can't care for myself anymore they must just push my wheelchair close to a cliff with my finger on the forward button. Hopefully I'll remember to press it.laugh To me life is not worth living if I can't be productive in some or other way.
Now that's OK with me too, Ek..

I just don't want to burden anyone else for my life. No.

Nice to see you. wave

I hope your son is alright. And of course, you, too.wave
If I ever get to the point that I can no longer fend for myself then I don't want to be around anymore.
is it harder for someone that has been cripple all their life to face life or is it harder for a person who has been able physically to do all things.

only GOD can take your life. only GOD knows when your time on earth is up. but I understand the feeling of seeing your loved ones suffer.
CC, that's exactly my wishes. wave

Your comment -we all die...resonated.
I thought Track's artwork by Steven Curtis had messages and found this additional work by himthumbs up
Funny now that I've moved it here as food for thought it could easily travel on to Ekselfs where she describes the tires burning in the middle of the road is a normal past time in S.Africa.
I finished reading 3 cups of tea, and learned how what we call cow chips are a substitute for using wood for heat.
