Rapid Response for FRIDAY, March 6,
2020
THIS IS ABOUT
LIFE AND DEATH...AND ABOUT THE CHOICES WE MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER.
I have a personal prayer:
"I Love You. I Trust You. Thy Will Be Done. I Am Yours."
I
also believe that, consistent with that position, we can have a role to
play in our last days...totally excluding euthanasia, physician -
assisted suicide, and all suicide.
To clarify, I suggest you read three articles - and then discuss them with your spiritual advisor.
a) "
MY FATHER'S PASSPORT",
by Christine Hemp (in NYTimes Jan. 23, 2020). I believe that a rational
and also spiritual choice might be made under such circumstances,
consistent with "The Will Of God".
b) Google Search: "
Billionaire Dead From Pancreatic Cancer".
Steve Jobs was unfortunately not rational in placing his treatment in delusions for too long a time.
See also the article about him and his wife (Laurene Powell Jobs) ( in NYTimes March 1, 2020, Sunday Business).
c) "
PREPARING FOR A GOOD END OF LIFE", by Katy Butler (in WSJ Feb. 9-10, 2020, Review, pC1).
Then, having done the above: "Don't Worry...Be Happy!"
