Mantra reacionário
Comprei a ilusão de um mundo colorido de prazer e liberdade na esquina de minha miopia, a me esconder sob o escudo de predadores da existência de milhões de pessoas inofensivas e sem defesa que um dia caminharam na estrada de dor aberta na clareira da história da humanidade, com a defesa de que tudo isso é simplesmente natural ou assim projetado por Deus.

"I don't want to do something irrational. You know, I don't want to hang myself. I don't want to shoot myself. I don't want to jump off a bridge. I don't want to run in front of a train 'cause that's suicide. This is not suicide what I plan to do." Jay
There are some questions we hope we will never have to answer. But what would you do if you suffered from a debilitating illness that left you in constant and severe pain? What would you do if the only way you could find relief was to take heavy duty pain killers that also impacted heavily on your physical health?
After 36 years struggling with that situation, a young man says he's had enough and he wants to end his own life. Because assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia are illegal in Australia he is forced to apply to an organisation in a foreign country to fulfil his wish.
Next on Four Corners reporter Liz Jackson tells Jay's story. She spends time with him finding out what his life has been like and how he lives day-to-day. She follows the path that has led him to his decision, and finds out what he thinks will be the consequences of his decision to die.
She is there as he discusses his decision with his family and friends. She is there as he seeks the documentation that will allow him to win medical approval for his plan.
Jay's story raises many questions: why doesn't society allow an individual with an incurable condition the right to seek assistance to end their own life? Is it right that a person is forced to go overseas to die in this way? And why don't our political representatives deal with the issue in an open and free manner?
"They haven't had to walk in my shoes for these past 36 years and they're not going through what I go through every day, you know, and it's not about them anyway at the end of the day. It's about me and me being able to make my own, my own choice."
“Some patients approaching death have refractory symptoms.” Cohen & Palmer (2002), Current Oncology,Reports 4(3), 242-9 (Definition of ‘refractory’: hard or impossible to manage; stubbornly disobedient)
“patients near the end of life may experience intolerable suffering refractory to palliative treatment.” Mercandante et al (2009) J. Pain & Symptom Management 37(5), 771-9
“Despite the progress made in palliative medicine in terms of symptom control, there are still many patients who have intractable symptoms.” Maltoni et al (2012) Journal of Clinical Oncology 30(12), 1378-83
“Patients with advanced cancer often suffer from multiple refractory symptoms in the terminal phase of their life.” Barathi & Prabha (2013) Indian Journal of Palliative Care 19 (1), 40-47
“Palliative care cannot remove every kind of distress.” Noble (2013) British Medical Journal 347(346), f4062 (Neil Francis resumes)
“It is no surprise then that the American Academy of Hospice Medicine which is neutral to assisted dying law says: “Palliative care can… relieve most suffering near the end of life. On occasion, however, severe suffering persists”. Board-certified statement (2007) American Academy of Hospice & Palliative Medicine.
“Here in Australia Dr. Odette Spruyt, President of the Australian and New Zealand Society for Palliative Medicine said: “It is simplistic to argue that palliative care can remove all suffering at the end of life.”

The main work of Dignitas is not assistance in dying but in fact suicide preventive work, above all suicide-attempt-prevention work in a broad sense, see also here:

especially the graph/chart. Every day, people contact us to ask for advice. Some just need someone to talk to, others need advice in patient’s rights issues, some are stricken by a terminal illness at a very advanced stage and need to be directed towards a clinic with a palliative ward, and some are even medical doctors who inquire how they may help their patients (!). The majority of these people are not even members – yet receive advice from us as far as possible.
