Living with Dignity & Caring for One Another - Human Experience

Nothing is more significant than having compassion of another person. not a job, not money, not knowledge, and most definitely not prestige.
If we want to live with dignity, we need to care for one another, listening to one another, and showing or better having understanding. I think it is important to respect people's freedom - even when they choose to terminate their lives. I do not want, so many people won't to die of a severe illness while extremely high on medications and unable to move or speak.

My Experiences

I have witnessed people dying this way - ending ones life by high on morphine, which does not imply a short passing of hours but rather days, weeks, or months in which the person is immobile and unable to speak. If you believe that some individuals do not suffer from this approach, you are mistaken. Medicine focuses mostly on treating medical conditions, less on psychological issues (as physicians most often only see these aspects and see at their only responsibility), and ignoring psychic and mental issues completely and human dignity neither. Everyone who is with the patient and works with their heart and mind - partners, families, caregivers, nurses, physicians, and others are suffering. 

It must stop for those who do not wish to succumb to illness in this way. 

The resistance from those who don't want others to have options of living and end-of-life is beyond me. While everyone has the right to practice their religion freely, those opposed to this option(s) of freedom are preventing suffering people from dying in peace and dignity. The separation of church and state is guaranteed by the wording of our and most constitutional order, fundamental and Basic Law. Anyone testifying on behalf of their religious beliefs, which are protected, should not be the dominant voice in this debate. Please show compassion and dignity to those who choose to live their way, end their lives and to pass away. Sometimes terminally ill people decide to end their own lives by hanging, shooting themselves, or taking an overdose - each of these are cruel, brutal, and painful for the dying person and everyone who has to deal with it - and harmful for many  people, innocent bystanders, police, medical service, and the list goes on. Kindly don't limit ourselves, yourself to these as our only options. 

Conclusion

Dignity in dying refers to the freedom, choice, control and access to quality end-of-life care. Human dignity is the belief that everyone, each individual, and all people have a special value and deserve respect and honor by virtue of being human. It also implies living well according to one's personal values and reason - and deciding as well how and when it should end.

Lastly, it should be noted that even though patient dignity is sometimes seen as an abstract idea, it is crucial to end-of-life care. I suggest that the idea of dignity is comparable to that of love: it is significant, generally accepted, hard to define, and impossible to impart in a binary way. Healthcare professionals should take an open approach to assessing each patient's needs and strive to meet them accordingly, using discretion when providing care for patients of different ages, cultures, and religions, as dignity is a subjective experience and each patient has unique requirements, values, and self-awareness and their own dignity.
Dignity refers to the freedom, choice, self-control and access to quality in life, end-of-life care, and dying.
