SportsHD:I was looking for someone with sense and find your comment. Nigerians... Sorry to say lack sense, they're control by emotions and religion. When people apply emotions where logic is required, you'll have a disaster. No one which their love ones or enemies death, not even the most dreaded heart cold criminal. They ask him to keep praying, exact what he's been doing for 12 years and each day the situation gets worse. They failed to understand the financial, emotional and psychological trauma the illness is causing the entire family. If the dad could speak he would have asked them to put an end to his pain. Ending his pain now is mercy and the greatest love they can show him. I don't want to imagine what the mom is going through, imagine if he still leaves him to be in another 5 years and eventually the father still dies.... This is not time to involve emotions and religion... The idea of God watching people in pain for years just to prove himself God doesn't sit well with me. |

Omorotionmwann:Op, what you're thinking is not out of place. However, it is not ever country that approves euthanasia. And your father's case don't sound to me like one. The thing is that Dr in Nigeria can be greedy and hardly says the truth. They will keep milking you until your are dry. I work in the hospital and terminal illness unit. Once Dr's has decided that your case is hopeless, they will talk to the family and the patients too if he is still in a position to make decision. Hospital make sure patients have living will i.e who they want making decisions for them when they are no longer able to. Anyways, the family decision makers usually agree to take the patient off any medical treatment and place him on comfort care. That means, if he is in pains, he gets meds to help him bear the pain but nothing to cure the source of pain as that is incurable. Henis also placed on dnr/dni. It means if he is dying, that means you don't do anything to resuscitate him if he is not breathing. You let him go.i have seen a patients taken off high flow oxygen with all the family around. Yes he is very alert,talks and eat but he can survive a minute without the high flow oxygen. And that would have been indefinite stay in Hospital and bed. Yes I talked to him when he was transferred to us and he told me the family is coming the next day cos he will be taken off oxygen.he watched my face and told me he is ready to go. So, talk to the Dr's. If there is no chance of recovery which it seems ,then let him be placed on comfort care. Take care of him but no treatment or any form of test. Let him go naturally. Just bath and feed him at home. Make his room comfortable and find a nurse ro teach your mom on how to take care of him so she don't break her back. Don't mind those calling God and invoking curse. It is ignorance. |

every body keep looking for an easy way out....life is tough but that is the way it is...this is your cross u have to bear it just the same way other are bearing theirs...urs is not the hardest and things can always change....what if he is healed completely tomorrow? there is nothing God cannot do only if we believe, remain steadfast...even if the law allows "mercy death" in some cases though its easier if it is an animal God does not permit the willful taking of a life and that may lead to generational curses etc....all the people telling u otherwise and yourself how will you feel that in the future this same scenario happen to you and your beloved kids are planning to give u a mercy death?...so long there s life there is hope...as for our school the great Uniben! i know some of our lecturers are wicked but u could have opened up to them one on one regarding ur plight, u never know what could have happened...not telling portrayed you as an unserious element whom they may even think is a cultist ..dont forget such elements abound in our school...and cursing the lecturers wont solve any thing...forgive them and open your heart to God, accept Jesus as ur personal Lord and savior, be serious with your salvation and in due time things will fall into place and your Dad will be completely healed and start working again. |

If you try it, your conscience will accuse u for the rest of your life..... You dare not kill your father cos it won't go well in the long run. "Honour your father and your mother, that it may go well with you ........." - Eph 6:3 |

Omorotionmwann: Your name says it all bro. You're really acting it. God will surely reward you. Medical and others you've done over the years has failed. It's time you take it to God; search for NSPPD on youtube, facebook or Instagram, join live everyday (Mondays - Fridays). Pray along and have faith. Your father will receive his healing. 1 Like 1 Share |

Perfectbeing: Me Before You That movie literally saved my life !!! OP's case is pretty complicated though Some of the people nailing him to the cross can't survive a quarter of what he has And most of them are just looking through his trauma What of the trauma of the old man who has spent not 3 weeks not 12 weeks not 36 weeks nor 52 weeks not even 100 weeks but a whopping 624 weeks being vegetative; not being able to improve/advance mentally & physically not being able to move much less hanging out and discussing with friends In 12 solid years A 12 year old girl today is most likely at puberty stage Who wants such life for himself? When he gets to recover, life can hardly remain the same Most prolonged cases of stroke I've had to hear of, either they die in it or they die shortly after recovery max max. 2 - 5 years (which of course the wasted years and severe pains and traumas counts for nothing) Well, I can only pray/wish that you (OP) get led in the right direction |

Re: Should I Euthanize My Dad? by BRAINCRASH(m): 4:11pm On Oct 06, 2021 |
Please dont Kill him, rather keep begging God to take away his life,...it is better when God allow the doctor make a mistake which leads to his death than just killing him,....you will live all your life In guilt whenever you remember you instructed them to kill him,....I am a young father I wouldn't wish I had done such to my own dad,...It's really painful but if remember all his effort you won't want to...in this case emotion is more important than Logic...Even the doctors know one wrong medicine the will give him and he will sleep and never wake up but the wouldn't do it even though his health gives then inconvenience....KILLIING A HIMAN IS NOT EASY,...EXCEPT FOR THE HEARTLESS... God will help you. Tell Your lecturers the situation....let everyone that know you understand what is happening,...thoa that will help will always be more than those that will laugh at you. Be a strong Man Bro.This too shall Co.e to pass. Be strong. |

Omorotionmwann:Your dad doesn't want to die trust me. He still believes there is hope for him, that's why he keeps pushing. Pray to God to take him, he has the right over every life. 1 Like 1 Share |

Similar situation My dad suffered for stroke for good 9 years and that was betwen 2011 to 2020 and eventually died last year march It was really terrible for all of us in the family honestly My dad was still sick and my mum died after a brief illness just like that. Because of the fact that my dad was a caring father when he was healthy,we took good care of him till the last day before his death. I was in sch then and due to the problem at home, it affected my first year result because I lost concentration a lot It was very difficult to tell my dad that his wife have died and that was just four days before my mum's funeral and my dad cried helplessly and was like asking us what really happened and we explain to him. So bro pls calm down ok |

1Sharon:More dumb assertions have you ever died? How did you know that some deaths are painless? who have died by euthanasia and confirmed that euthanasia are painless? how are about a clean quick shot in the head with a 9 mili pistol? that SHOULD be even quicker than euthansia. |
