Euthanasia

Have you ever imagined yourself in a terrible healthy state? If you have not thought about this yet why don’t you start? People who are in an elderly stage of life or those who are suffering from atrocious illnesses that cannot be cured want to make the decision of getting an assisted-suicide. However, a lot of people argue that this is not the right way to die, and they provide plenty of excuses without basis to not perform this action. Unfortunately for those who are against euthanasia I have strong arguments to defend the practice of euthanasia.

In some patients the pain gets to the point to be unbearable. If you are dealing with an illness which is too painful, and even with medication you feel that awful pain, you deserve not to perceive that. How would you feel with something that is killing you from inside of your body all the time? People with chronical illnesses feel this pain every day, the only moment when they are not suffering is when they are sleep, because even when they are sedated, they perceive pain.

People should not be forced to stay alive. At the moment of getting the age of majority, you take control over actions, and decisions. You are not a minor anymore, you are an adult. When you have decided to make the decision of being euthanized, your decision is what it worth, not others' opinions or decisions, you are the only one who is going through that situation. In other words, you are free to do with your body whatever you want, besides they cannot even imagine how you feel.

Opponents of this idea claim that euthanasia perverts the medical ethics since Hippocrates has focused on eliminating pain, not the patient. However, the era of Hippocrates was more than 2000 years ago; it was not even in our ages, but before Christ. Nowadays medicine is different from the one which was long time ago, changes of medicine have happened, the mentality of the human kind is different and what really matters if you are a physician is the wellness of your patient, but not yours.

As you can see there are plenty of irrefutable reasons to get euthanized, and the only decision what matters is yours. I would like to have the right to choose my fate If I were dying with a terminal illness. It would be wrong for some people due to the moral aspect, but at the end it would be my life. We deserve to die when we want and the most important aspect is to pass away with dignity.

Meu Coração (My heart)

Have you ever felt the sensation of writing a poem, a letter or anything else that describes a huge set of feelings for a person? I do not know if that has happened to you, but if you have ever loved or had an enormous affection for someone else, the most probable answer is yes. And that happened to me, my gorgeous girlfriend is my inspiration for stating these lines here. Her physical appearance, the way she is, and her likes are going to be shown, and at least you will know something about her.

The first aspect of all is her physical appearance. She is a medium-size girl, in fact she is a little bit shorter than me, but a few inches left do not make a tremendous difference, do they? Another aspect to talk about is her weight, she is incredibly thin, I can touch her figure and I can appreciate her hips, my hands get delighted for feeling that little, curvy, Mexican figure.

Another aspect to talk about is the way she is with me. At the beginning of our friendship she was very nice, easygoing, talkative and she still is, however; when she felt that she was going to be hurt she behaved in a different way, like in a defensive way. Some days ago when we started the relationship, she told that that behavior was for protecting herself herself because she did not want to be hurt anymore. Nowadays she uses that inexorable defense to avoid that, however, when she does not feel unprotected, alone or sad, she does not make use of this.

The last point which I think I know more is about her likes. Actually some of the reasons that led us to know more about each other were the similar likes. She loves to do Yoga, for her IS more than an amazing sport, it is a way of living, this is because it relaxes your body and mind, releases you from anxiety or stress and develops and works all your nerves, joints, tendons, and muscles. Not only Yoga makes her incredibly happy, also having pets. Nowadays she has a turtle and some fish, the turtle was a gift given in a party and the fish have been grown by her, she has like 18 fish in her medium-size fishtank. She loves them so much to the point of thinking that she loves the fish more than me hahahaha.

As you can see, the physical appearance, the way my girlfriend is with me, and her likes are some aspects that give you an idea of knowing her. This paper is not enough to describe all these aspects, you need an enormous period of time to describe or let the people know how a person is, but not only a huge period of time, you also need tons of paper to get this done. However you will never finish describing a person, why is this? Basically just for the fact that you get surprised sooner or later for the good or bad things that your soulmate does to you. Just for this little aspect you will never finish knowing your soulmate, no matter if you have spent 20 years with your mate, you will never finish.
