I am not taking my own life. My disease is taking my life. My disease is killing me. But mark schmidt from the catholic archdiocese of dubuque says it absolutely is suicide. It is physician assisting a suicide. Its not really compassionate, because that doctor is not entering into the suffering with the person. Its not really dignified because that person is worth more than offering them death immediately. The archdiocese says terminally ill hospice or palliative care. And while schmidt says this is a religious issue, he believes the government should be involved. It takes financial advantage by Insurance Companies and medical professionals whod rather do the suicide instead of standard care. Still gibbs says religion and politics shouldnt mix when it comes to the terminally ill. Its not up to lawmakers to decide what is religiously right or religiously wrong for me. I am the one with the terminal disease. I am the one who is dying, therefor i am the one who should have the choice and the decision on how i die. Impending death sets in, gibbs finds herself wishing for something else. A painless, peaceful death.
