I thank you for that hope, Gordon.
If you watched the original video (better off dead) I gave in the opening post, you will see that the narrator admits that at an early age she would have opted for suicide if it had been made available. Now she is eternally grateful that she was not allowed to take that option. So one problem I see is that there is no chance to change your mind, and you will never know what the future had in store for you if you had not opted to end your life. I know you believe there will be no miracle cure for you, but there will certainly be no chance of a cure if you opt for assisted dying, and there will be no chance of you turning to Christ before you die. You may well see things differently when your soul enters the next realm, but by then it will be too late to change your mind. You may deem this to be my personal theology, but I see it as the reality which we all have to face.
Quite sad that in spite of what I have explained previously about living with terminal cancer, and my concerns about the process my eventual death might have on my family, and especially the younger members, that your response is to hope I decide to play the 'Jesus card' - that will not happen, Alan.
Since I have bone metastases that will likely need me to be 'doped up' at my end then the option of assisted suicide could well be a relevant consideration in my case: whether I would elect to take that route will depend on my medical and family circumstances at the time. In the final days and hours before this cancer eventually claims me my main concern, I hope, will be the effect on my wife and family. If I did have intractable bone pain and need to be heavily medicated then I don't want, for my grandkids especially, that 'picture' to be their last memories of me alive, when even final 'goodbyes' are not possible. So if I have an option that can avoid all that by checking out a little early, then perhaps I'd take that route: right now it's too soon to say.
I'm not afraid to die but I don't want, for the sake of a few days or hours, for it to be a horrible experience for both me and my family. For some of us, you know, even as we approach the end of our lives, 'Jesus' matters not a jot.
