to be or not to be

When I watched this movie, I thought of my mother a long time ago. She told me that when I was too old and couldn't move, don't insist on the rescue and let her go. She said that it is better to go to me than to lie on the bed without dignity and wait to die. I am very disdainful to say that if I don't, I will never die. It's better to die than to live. Thinking about it now is really ignorant, although I still think so now.

But in fact, everyone and every family are struggling and painful when faced with such a choice. I vaguely remember that my mother had the surgery and my dad struggled so much that he didn't make the initial decision. Instead, I insisted on the surgery. Maybe everyone's starting point is different. Lose me. Mom is the worst result for me, my dad is the most unbearable blow, and my mom left unknowingly the unfilial descendants and bad old men she had served for half her life

Everyone has the right to decide their own life and death. For example, my mother doesn't want to be a burden to her children. I choose to go in style. I choose not to fight.

I didn't understand why I couldn't choose to die if I wanted to die. At least some people can cut their own lives, but as the movie says, everyone has the right to choose to die with self-respect and grace. The most comfortable way to leave is to do well. Are you ready to let go of everything and die peacefully and painlessly?

At the end of the film, the doctor still did not change the status quo. Although he brought hope to some people, he greatly promoted the legality of euthanasia, but sometimes he tried his best to achieve the desired results. But this is the reality. Do not try to repay or even try to achieve social progress in the end

You Don't Know Jack quotes

  • Jack Kevorkian: It's emotionalism. You know, when heart transplants first started... there was the same prevalent feeling, I mean, even among doctors... that it was wrong, it was contrary to God's will, contrary to nature. Isn't it ghoulish to rip a person's chest open and take out a heart? Or a bypass operation? Ether is the same thing. You have ether, been around for centuries, it wasn't used. Not till 1846. It was discovered in 1543... and before that, everybody was being operated on while they were awake. Surgeons were cutting them open while they were awake. Did you know that, Geoff?

    Geoffery Fieger: No.

    Jack Kevorkian: On, yes. And you know why it was banned? Because of religious dogma. Because of the foolish notion... that there's a God Almighty who wills us to suffer.

  • Judge Cooper: You invited yourself here to make a final stand.

    Judge Cooper: You invited yourself to the wrong forum.

    Judge Cooper: We have the means and methods to protest laws with which we disagree.

    Judge Cooper: No one's unmindful of the controversy and emotion that exists over end-of-life issues and pain control.

    Judge Cooper: I assume the debate will continue in a calm and reasoned forum long after this trial and your activities have faded from the public memory.

    Judge Cooper: But this trial was not about that controversy.

    Judge Cooper: This trial was about you, sir.

    Judge Cooper: You've ignored and challenged the legislature and the supreme court.

    Judge Cooper: Moreover, you've defied your own medical profession.

    Judge Cooper: This trial was about lawlessness, about your disregard for a society that exists and flourishes because of the strength of our legal system.

    Judge Cooper: No one is above the law.

    Judge Cooper: You had the audacity to go on national television, show the world what you did, and dare the legal system to stop you.

    Judge Cooper: You publicly and repeatedly announced your intentions to disregard the laws of Michigan.

    Judge Cooper: Because of this, I am imposing the maximum sentence of 10 to 25 years.

    Judge Cooper: You may now, sir, consider yourself stopped.
