Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Peter Goodwin, the Portland family-medicine doctor who campaigned for Oregon's Death with Dignity law, died Sunday at his home in Southwest Portland's Terwilliger Plaza. He was 83.
Steve Hopcraft, a spokesman for the organization Compassion & Choices, said Goodwin died less than half an hour after ingesting the drug to cause death, a right granted under the law enacted in 1997.
I guess you can't accuse him of being a hypocrite.

dying should be avoided at all costs I think. 84 might have been his best year.

His brain was going to go within a few months; he wasn't going to make it to 84.

I don't know about killing myself but if I got one of those horribad cancers that have pretty much certain kill rates like GBM or something I think I would at least refuse any sort of treatment

It's the right of the person to choose death if the alternative is immense pain..

I've got an uncle with ALS. He has been laying in a hospital bed, unable to move anything except his eyes....for 2 years now. Fed through a tube, pissing thru a catheter, breathing via a machine attached thru a hole in his neck....
Doctors gave him a month to live....18 months ago. He just keeps hanging on....
Constant pain, he rolls his eyes up for yes and every time you ask him if he is in pain....he rolls them up so far they almost disappear into nothing but white.
If you tell me that's my future, I'm going to find a nice mountaintop, get a couple of good looking young women to help me get there, spend a day watching them cavort around in skimpy clothing, then have them leave me....and drink a gallon of Jim Beam and eat 30 lortabs. The animals can have whats left.
