in belgium there were two brothers who were deaf to uh... deft twin brothers
and at some point they found out there both forty five years old i found out
that they were also going blind
and that in the not-too-distant future they would not be able to see each other
and never be able to see each other again
and so they made an extremely difficult decision and that was too
be voluntarily euthanized that we have a quote here is from doctor david two four
says they had a cup of coffee in the hall it went well and they had a rich
conversation
then the separation from their parents and brother was very serene and
beautiful at the last there was a little wave their hands and then they were gone
now this is normally wear any young turk story will tell you about some sort of
insane legal problem that's coming from this or something went wrong now that's
the end of the story
and that's why we're talking about the story
they've voluntarily where euthanized
and how it goes on for everyone else packets really really sad everywhere
terrible luck in your are already death
and then you losing your sites either sell i
edges can imagine so you're world is dark in silence right
you call a silver lining i see in this
terrible story
tourists who love them
their brothers rate so whenever one was going through a obviously the other was
going to the same thing
and i think
it's kind of you for that
they were able to share this
awful experience that i think they are not alone
and sensing an email here
lodi
can't imagine
being deaf or blind little of both and obviously they shared a a connection it
goes back forty five years like
rather the fact that they already had personal problems means their private
lying on each other to great accent to give you some details about the laws on
euthanasia
uh... in belgium up more than one thousand people uh...
allowed themselves to be uh... doctor assisted in committing suicide in two
thousand eleven
most of them were terminally ill usually cancer patients
they say that's interesting that uh... generally other illnesses for you to
allow to be even as they have to be terminal up but there is an exceptional
hours up
over eighteen patients who are mentally sound it to be allowed to die if they
are suffering in this case
its internal conditions for a painful condition name
but in terms of a motion on psychological trauma
it is uh...
truck without an advantageous kind of thought about it it's if they aren't
that
and they are lines
what they go completely
adeline concerning death like being a longer really and as they can write
that they want to be killed at that point of view one b_ euthanize so that
was kind of the moment where they have to decide if they wanted to keep
thinking communicate if they want to put it on tuesday morning light would be so
happy really impacted
but i a albion assad
although i have to admit like i said before i did not in this position on
anything close to this position i can imagine what would you like to be in
that position
if i was i don't think
that i would
allow myself to be euthanized
this came over a lot of last year
uh... virginia college student was stricken by flesh-eating bacterium lost
the use of all four of our lives
and i said that uh...
want to die in that case either because i think that life is what you have and
it can be better or could be worse but that's all that you have this every and
i think that i think that's so different and of course losing all your lines
off-limits horrific but here still able to see in here and there's a lot of
people you're still alive just like
you know here
uh... of course it changes the way he would be a life that you can still
experience like elise conversations and connections with your family whereas if
you're a blind in fact that's a lot harder to do in a mean so
i don't know it's half and i i i think we're all
particularly in this country like really obsessed with china keeps somebody alive
no matter what it takes me n_f_l_ or anything
being a person alive is more for
does around and i understand that
person and that's unfair and some calling
in our family members i think i could find stuff distinctive and
just please let me come and
and ari i think that the more and self-esteem to feel although i
understand why people
have a hard time line and go obviously but the reason we will talk about this
as i would lead to earlier was
uh... this is an example
of when
uh... like if you were transplant the situation to the united states they
would not have been legally allowed to do what they did
right and it's
another case where
what is it literally of victimless crime
is not allowed because of
some lingering tradition or religious belief
that you have not the person is actually being involved in it
that when we talk about things like
being able to consumer
the particular type of drugs that we like rather than the stick with that
drugs that you are a which might be a liquid form as opposed to smoke a before
or to have sex the *** who wants to engage in that debate here
or somebody was suffering for years that wants to end their life
this is about that individual right and i i mean we point this out is a story
that that carmel originally found because it shows that
it's tragic and it's hard to think about its hard talk about
but it was their decision they made it
the rest of the world continues
why should be legal
