The Choice of Life

When people reach middle age, they see more and more death, parents, colleagues, friends ..... Death is where we all must go. Coming into this world means leaving it sooner or later. Our parents have the right to choose to die. We have the freedom to choose to die. This cannot be considered humane progress for humanity.

Today, I read a news article "Medical doctor gives up treatment for father with cancer and sends him home to live the rest of his life in peace", which has been a very controversial topic for a long time, impacting our ancient traditions and our deep-rooted concepts. It is a topic that has been controversial for a long time, impacting our ancient traditions and deep-rooted concepts.

　　In the five years since 2008, my parents and in-laws have passed away one after another, and my father-in-law has been lying in bed on a little flow of food for a year, with only his eyes showing his vital signs from time to time, and by the time he left, he was only as thin as a bone, and the emergency room in the hospital became a place where the family often went, even with tears drying up. My mother-in-law lived in the hospital all year long during the year she was dying, relying on water to sustain her life during the last month, and the severe pain tormenting and tearing the dying man. At the end of last year, my father was unable to eat due to gastric perforation five days before he was due to point water, relying on a 24-hour daily drip injection. Mother ...... Their passing tells me that leaving is sometimes a relief, although sometimes it is not yet acceptable to say so.

　　Yes, in the eyes of ordinary people Chen Zuobing's practice is unfilial and against morality and ethics. However, as a family member watching a loved one suffer from illness and then become emaciated, isn't this kind of filial piety a kind of cruelty? I remember a mother who had cancer, and her children devoted all their efforts to seeking medical treatment for her. Why couldn't she pass away peacefully?

　　There are some diseases that we know cannot be cured, but to continue for some time, we go to chemotherapy and surgery, and do not hesitate to carry heavy medical bills, and do not hesitate to risk lying in pieces on the operating table and leaving, even if the hair is lost and the many side effects of drugs, and follow the various precepts of medical advice, but in the end, the skin and bones in the pain step by step towards death, when this kind of living becomes a kind of pain a torment, I think to be able to When living becomes a painful ordeal, I think a peaceful death is also the best choice.

　　If I could choose, if I could go backward in time, I would not let my father stay in the hospital for those last five days, the last five days of my father's life in the hospital, according to medical advice, he could not eat or drink water, he could only have a 24-hour drip, hunger and thirst were wrapped around him, tormenting him. I hated that time until he passed away with the drip in his hands and feet. I'd rather he was at home making something he wanted to eat and spending five good days with him, regardless of his perforated stomach, heart attack, high blood sugar, or high blood pressure. I just want my father to go peacefully, with less pain, I think this should also be a kind of filial piety it.

　　I hope that shortly more and more people will recognize this way and have the freedom to choose to die, so that our loved ones can enjoy their last life, pass away peacefully and live out the last dignity of life!
