Why Isn’t Incurable Illness Punishable by Death?
Question by : Why isn’t incurable illness punishable by death?
I see so much money and effort spent on incurably ill people. Why? Why spend so much money to make a paraplegic person’s life easier when everyone (including the sick person) knows they’d be better off dead? Why make “psych wards” in hospitals to keep mentally ill people who will never be cured and will never do anything productive? Same goes for drug addict “rehab centers” that only actually help a small fraction of its interns.
This planet is overpopulated. There aren’t enough resources for everyone. If we get rid of these sick people, everyone else would have a better life.
I know this statement is morally preposterous, but I also know it’s a valid solution to overpopulation and the logical thing to do.
Please don’t hate. This is for serious answers only.

Alcohol Problem…medical Forms?
Question by : Alcohol problem…medical forms?
I’m 30 and after alcohol causing problems in dental school and with my husband, my mother crying over the phone pleading with me to stop as well as potentially contributing to my chronic hypertension, I decided to try to stop drinking. I have been a daily drinker for 5 years, and over the past 2 years, there has been a fairly drastic increase. I have been drinking 5-8 drinks per night on average for the past year.
Because of bad reactions with the meds I’m taking (for insomnia and high BP), with alcohol it was recommended that I stop the alcohol. The cravings were terrible over the next month and I was NOT fun to live with… irritable, unable to sleep and generally angry… not attractive… Many times I couldn’t think of anything else but drinking. I went back to drinking once after 33 days for 2 days and then my MD prescribed me Naltrexone. It is helping a little. I still crave, but it is very blunted and manageable.
