Commentary to "Migrant caravan" post


A great comment was made about the migrant caravan and how the US government is handling the issue. I understand the empathy of Savannah about those people. It’s true that Honduras’s government has failed his people. Nobody wants to stay in poverty and gang ruled country. What I want to understand that is that if these people are so determined to make change to their living conditions, why not start to make change to the corrupted officials and remove them. Any where people united to make change and take bold actions against their government were able to make change. There is no country that will accept such type of migration. Also, the migrants are waving the Honduras’s flag all the long, the country you are fleeing from. If they are proud of the flag why not find a way to fix the problem? I still haven’t seen any of them waving an American flag, the country you are proud to be in. I may be wrong, but this caravan is creating lot of confusion.

Right to assisted suicide to terminalyl ill patient?


The right to assisted suicide is an important issue that concerns people all over the world. People always go back and forth about whether a terminally ill patient should have the right to die with the assistance of a physician. Some are against it because of religious and moral reasons. Others are for it because of their compassion and respect for the dying. Personally, I support the view that we should allow them to die if there is no chance of survival and if they are in so much pain that all the pain management means available are not alleviating the person’s pain and suffering. It is sad to realize that these people are in great agony and that to them the only hope of bringing that agony to a halt is through assisted suicide. So, we should allow them. I don’t consider euthanasia as murder. The physician or the nurse must examine their own belief when taking care of such patients. The physician and the nurse owe to respect and accept the patient’s right to decide; provide respect for patient autonomy. So, everyone involved in a terminal ill patient should recognize and enhance patient’s freedom of choice and provide comfort and privacy. Anyone can experience the pain and suffering of a terminal ill patient. The goal of treatment is to relieve pain and give them comfort as much as possible, so if the patient think that the pain is unbearable, and nothing is reliving that pain, the patient should be granted the wish of whatever he is asking even if it results to death.
