That's the sort of example that makes Doctors just sick and evil. No way should they have saved him to make him live a life of torture. That is so wrong!

 

[littlelady774]

That's so messed up! I don't see how anyone could think a life like this would have quality to it!

 

[inconsequential]

"We saved him! He can't do shit now, and he'll be more than miserable until he dies, but we SAVED HIS LIFE!"

i cant imagine feeling the pain im feeling now in a veg state and cant do nothing this is my biggest fear of ctb

"Don't let my kids see me like this"
Fine job his "friend" did of that, then. Poor guy.

 

[whyidon'tknow]

Fuck that's tragic. Can't imagine what it's like for him now if he thought his life before his attempt was unbearable

 

[AtomicNewt]

Fucking hell that is barbaric. When I felt couldn't cope with looking at possibly being in a wheelchair permanently the only thing that truly comforted me was that if I did find it unbearable could still end it at my own hands. What hope does this poor bloke have? How is this helping! Letting go is sometimes the bravest thing you can do.

 

[blanketyblk]

oh my god that poor man! :-( that is terrible. I'm sure his friends saving him had good intentions, but my gosh..

 

[lululoo]

Oh this makes me so sad.

Do non-depressed people value life so much that they would want to live it even if they could only move their eyes?
If no, why do they subject this man to such a fate?
If yes, why can't they use their imagination to see that if he didn't want to live as a healthy man, that living like this must be sheer torture for him?

I know it's not so simple as to just end his life, but I'm sure there must be a way. Right? I guess I don't know, but I hope. I hope in a situation like this that a family would be allowed to take him home and let him die.

100%

With a "friend" like this who needs an enemy? Good thing I don't have any friends Lol! But, seriously talking, it makes me so sad and revolted that people don't even have the right to end their lives and that many who try suicide end up like this. It's insane... Pro-lifers are definitely pro-suffering.

 

[Broken Chimera]

Good on the doctor and the "friend." Now they and the rest of his family can watch him collect dust and look at him like a trophy for the rest of his life. I guess having a glorified corpse for a friend is better then no friend, huh? I wanna ask, if the tables were turned would they want to live the rest of their lives as a vegetable? Because that's exactly what everyone that "saved" him deserves.

 

[not_a_robot]

well at least the doctors will be paid for "saving" him, that's what's really important.

 

[whyidon'tknow]

"Jai's family are convinced that lately he has been trying to speak to them."


Hmmmm I wonder what Jai will say?

 

[johnonymous]

Medical professionals were bound by medical ethics and state laws that require them to react as they did. The culprit is the law, not the doctors. "Hate the game, not the playa."

 

[Kringle's Curse]

Fuckin horrible. Makes me want to forget hanging and just use my shotgun.

 

[Ladylethal]

Me too

For real though smh

That would probably give being stuck in hell a run for its money if thats a real thing.

I came back to say maybe the doctors feel like they're saving him for the family.

I have seen some EMS forums where they talked about this and some of the attitudes were aggressively heroic, but a few were remorseful of having to save people after severe trauma that would ruin their lives.

 

[Conflicted Cat]

Poor dude... Just put him out of his fucking misery already. Goddammit...

 

[Vegrau]

They can milk the hospital feevfor the rest of his "life".

 

[GeorgeJL]

Well I've told all my family and friends that I plan on taking my life when I am an old man. And none of them have told me that I shouldn't do that. I'm still young and have a ways to go.

 

[Help_Me]

I wonder what sort of "pleasure" all these people who prevent suicide reach ? Does it really look amazing to witness this poor man has to go on with his suffering ? Guys, never make such mistakes, do not tell anyone about your future plans

 

[Faraway1990]

I'm a care assistant by profession usually in care homes, I've occasionally looked after people like this you might be surprised how many of my colleagues became pro choice. I would never want to exist like that same with dementia if I could feel myself slipping away like that I'd CTB in an instant.

 

[riverstyx]

This is why you need to take suicide seriously and plan meticulously.

I'm not going to CTB unless I'm 95% certain I'll succeed. A botched suicide with long term consequences would be my biggest nightmare.

 

[Rukia]

I cannot stop thinking about this poor lad :(
