Do you want to die before the pain comes? ——View "Psychic Detective"

I have never been interested in supernatural powers and supernatural events. If it weren’t for watching old drama Anthony Hopkins on the big screen, I’m afraid I would decisively ignore the title of "Psychic Detective". Although this translation of the name is funny, it does summarize the main content (psychic) ​​and characters (the detective). The original name of the film is Solace, and the opening of the film gives the definition like a dictionary: as a noun and a verb, it means comfort. The original name expresses the idea of ​​the killer in the film: in order to save terminally ill people from the torture of illness, killing them painlessly before they become ill is done out of goodwill.
Although the fancy editing and mystery settings in the film are annoying to watch, but when the killer Charles, who also has the psychic ability, explained to John why he wanted to kill those people; when John recalled seeing the shadows when his daughter was a child , And she got leukemia when she grew up. When he couldn't bear to see her in pain and injected drugs into her sling to make her die, a strong shock hit his face. I couldn't help asking myself: Do you want to die before the pain comes? If someone like Charles makes you die without pain before you feel sick, would you?
Generally speaking, I support euthanasia, because euthanasia not only reduces the suffering of the patient, but also allows the patient to die with dignity, which is much better than the practice of blindly prolonging the life of the patient without considering the patient’s feelings. But Charles did not seek the opinions of those people. His psychic ability enabled him to foresee the pain of those people. In his words, he saw the pain that those people would suffer in the future and could not sit back and watch, so he chose to kill them. . Even if he is out of good intentions, who has the power to decide the life and death of others? As John said, you are not God and you are not qualified to do this.
Death is often not determined by humans. Many accidents, disasters, and diseases come all of a sudden, making people caught off guard. Life is so awesome, so people remind themselves to cherish every day. Pain is an unavoidable and needless part of life, and illness is just one of the pains in life. It is better to say whether to give up your life after fighting all kinds of pain, than to lose your life without experiencing the pain.
