Resisting the Eutha-Nazi
That patients are asking to stop suffering is natural. We can only sympathize with those who bravely fight against unbearable pain.
On the other hand, people who have sought medical help to die are regularly the subject of particularly generous media coverage,
and the hyrambic portrayal of them ends up becoming frankly nauseous.
Proxy
Clearly, with incense articles, we are convinced that choosing death is a heroic act imbued with beauty and nobility, a final gift that the sick person offers to his loved ones and to society. Suicide by proxy is no longer only accepted, it is now celebrated! Yet this new deadly culture should inspire outrage.
On the one hand, administrative homicide has become outrageously expeditious. Provided you meet a few criteria, which are becoming more and more relaxed, it is enough to ask for death to obtain it. On average, medical assistance in dying is granted 15 days after the application. It is a pity that it is not for medical assistance to live, when we are given about seven weeks to see a specialist, and another nine weeks to be treated.
On the other hand, by glorifying death, one slydistills the denigration of life. If the one who asks for lethal injection is an altruistic hero who dies in "dignity", doesn't the one who refuses it become a selfish coward who lives in shame?
Respect
There is no doubt that expensive palliative care irritates the budgetary logic of hospitals and motivates governments to value the "eutha-Nazi". But to be complicit in this brainwashing is not to defend death with dignity. Rather, it is to imply that a sick person is a burden, that he is no longer worthy to live, to receive care and respect. Of course, no one wants to suffer. However, true dignity is eliminating suffering... and not the person who suffers!
