Hello: I am not on this board, but I have been a nurse for many years. Euthanasia, to me is wrong and should never be legalized. Man tries in everyday life to play God. There is no replacement for this wonderful spirit, who gave us all life and holds a place for us when we die forgiving our sins if we ask and accept him as our personal Savior. I have been on both ends of death, helping those who are dying and actually being a past patient having died 3 times. I went to and listen to several after death programs, and so far I have not found a one that matches what I experienced. When I was at the end, I was in no pain, I was at a place where it was beautiful, the prettiest blue sky, white clouds and flowing air, that made the uncut grass slightly blow, the sun was bright but I did not need to cover my eyes, I stood at the steps of a very white colored wooden Church, the doors were closed, I did not hear any music or see anyone, but for some reason I felt someone's presence by me, I was not afraid. I stood there and then what seemed like seconds was watching my lifeless body on the bed with many instruments hooked up to me, and my oldest brother holding my elder female cousin's shoulders while she was looking down on me crying, he was leading her away, I tried to yell at them I was alright, but they could not hear me cause my mouth was not moving, I tried to move my little finger while my arms were at my side and I could not do that either. Then the next thing I knew, a huge Nurse grabbed a pillow laid it over my stomach, so the incision would not split open as the medical team was trying to put another tube down my nose, I was fighting them with what I could, when my eyes opened that is when I actually felt pain. Now at the time I was 21, I was brought up in a Christian family, not too extreme but nice, and at that age I did not have the Almighty directly on my mind, so I so firmly believe in what happened to me, I was granted that vision for rebuilding my strenght and belief there is a better place for us to go, I know that. Now to make the story complete. My oldest daughter at age 21 just like me and exactly one week to the day of my 21st hospitalization was in the same situation, she had been victimized, throat cut and neck broken, they told me they had lost her and that I could see her as they were dismantaliing the saving instruments, when I saw my daughter lying there all the blood and her still, I instantly grabbed her leg and screamed her name so loud, right then her eyes opened up and she looked directly into mine, the medical team checked she had rallied and had a high enough blood pressure to do surgery, she looks exactly like me, and she is alive today. Now, back to my story of me. I was ranned down by some men I was on a motorcycle, my girlfriend on the back, they hit us and threw her up in the air and turned their car around and ran over her, they tried to come after me but another car came on the scene, well those men got off, because of them being Hispanic even tho they fled the scene washed their vehicle off and tried to hide the courts said they did not understand the Rights read to them, but that family ironically moved into my girlfriends home she lived in when this happend(we did not know these men a coincidence)that families son when he turned 21 he hung himself in that home. So, again God takes care and sees justice in some form done. People when they are to us in pain while going through the stages of death, I believe are making their peace with God, I feel we as medical personnel keep them manually sedated with pain medication and it is their living body that is reacting to the shut down, they are protected by the blood of Jesus. Now if we dispose of those by our own hands, I feel it would be just like us killing a pregnant women when the labor pains to give life get too rough, our if that woman is having a difficult birth, she goes through pain then, do we put her to sleep? If not at life or giving life, then why at death? Just my own decision and experience. Respectfully, bal317 I am an expert on other boards here, so if I can be of anyother help, please let me know.
