Jeff:

 

I was referring to Raw Washington. Having standards does NOT mean anyone is

judging anyone! People NEED to have the correct & complete info PRESENTED

to them! Then they will have a REAL choice! IF I-1000 passes it would NOT

provide a real choice!

 

IF I-1000 passes it will create a NEW right. How about voting NO until some

of the options we believe in are presented/incorporated in a future

Initiative?

 

Let's keep on thinking out of BIG boxes! And encourage EVERYONE to do that!

P.S. I should be at Thrive on Sunday after 5pm IF anyone wants to discuss

this with me in person.

If you are referring to those in the health field who watch people

suffer and die, they may not know any better regarding diet and

nutrition and may consider their choice to support the proposition

compassionate. (BTW, aren't medical groups who are against I-1000 in a

conflict of interest?)

 

If you are referring to groups like raw foodists, I remind you it

doesn't mean they choose death. It may mean they choose not to judge

and realize they are in absolutely no position to decide for others. I

know that I am in absolutely no position to judge those in hospital

beds and am in no position to make decisions for them and their

families and friends.

 

> Again, TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE

> A RIGHT!

 

I understand your view. I choose to let those people with their

families and friends to make that choice. It is not my place to judge

them as wrong or right. God is their judge (IMO) and is in a much

better position to judge than me. I certainly wouldn't want to be

judged for being the vote that, basically, required people's agony and

suffering to be prolonged (even if food choices could have prevented

or " cured " it). Again... not my place to judge.

 

I realize that if one of my own family was in that position and wanted

that option, but could not have it, they (the ones wanting that

option) would likely continue taking their poison in small doses and

would prolong/continue their suffering. If they had gotten to that

point, we likely would have already had conversations about healthful

eating and living.

 

Is it wrong for the medical profession to not give their patients the

information to reverse their disease? (I believe so.) Is it wrong to

require terminally ill patients to continue agony and suffering,

against their will? (Perhaps) If so, that would be two wrongs!

 

I appreciate our members sharing their views to help others come to

grips with this issue and make a decision. Let's let them make their

choice and see what the state decides. Unfortunately, (I suspect) by

far, most of the voters are likely unaware of optimal health and

nutrition (not that I/we know everything, but we are thinking outside

some big boxes!).

Hi

 

I have learned in my short life that while watching someone die of cancer while

they fight for their life is so painful suicide is also unbearable. The only way

I could personally support this would be with extreme scrutiny that this person

had no chance to live (which we have seen people beat those odds) and was of

completely sound mind. Both of those things are hard to prove. My mom lost her

friend last year to cancer. She actually had beat it once during a try with

juice/raw moment but upon returning to her usual ways saw it return, she

continued to fight thru the second time but did not make it. Whenever I think of

how it would feel if someone I loved who was dying wanted to kill themselves I

can only think they need love, support, help, assistance but not assistance in

giving up on life.. We are here in my opinion to live this life as a journey

where giving up is not an option.

I hope everyone is able to see each others point of view peacefully soon this

election will be over and we will all be living with the results together.

 

Peace Light & Love
