A biopic about Dr. Jack Kovakian, who specializes in euthanizing patients in the United States, I originally went to star in Al Pacino, but the subject matter is too typical, I couldn't help but write it down.
The Master said: If you don't know life, how can you know death?
It can be seen that life and death are two equal things in the eyes of Confucius. However, why do many people turn pale when they talk about the death of others, as if they have encountered a black hole, while shouting long live life, while persuading others to die rather than live? Of course, this is such a reaction in China, where there is generally no religious belief. In the United States, the reaction has become "God has the right to sentence people to death, you don't have it!
" The identity of God's death executor, he collects patients who turn to him for help, talks to them and their families one by one, studies how to die happily and peacefully at home, risking lawsuits with prosecutors, church members, and groups of doctors, Perform euthanasia at the risk of being hated on the street and going to jail.
The feeling of this film is more real, perhaps because I can more or less understand the true feelings of the patients who cannot survive, cannot die, and bring pain to their family and friends because of their illness.
That's when I was naive because of asthma and heard my own breathing in the middle of the night. As long as I wanted to live, I had to try my best to push the air out of the narrow trachea. How many nights, when I was half lying on a chair because I tried to breathe for a few days, I was so tired that I couldn’t breathe anymore, but I couldn’t stop breathing, I seriously began to think: It’s too painful, it’s just my own pain, and I’m going to be implicated. Parents seek medical advice and take care of themselves every night. They really don't want to live like this. It would be better to die.
(Now that I think about it, fortunately, from kindergarten to student days, I have survived by persevering for so many days every year, otherwise I would not have known that there are so many interesting things in the world. Fortunately, I persevered at that time and tried every medicine one by one. It has passed, no matter how hard it is to reduce, I have persevered.)
Those who shouted long live life, have you ever put yourself in the patient's shoes?
It is not an ordinary patient who has no money to treat the disease, nor an ordinary patient who has a terminal illness and is surrounded by the warmth of his family in bed.
Some of them forget who they are, how old they are, and what they are doing all the time, and family members can't even take their eyes off each other for a moment.
Some are not only left alone with no one to take care of, all their family assets have paid for their medical bills, and they are paralyzed and unable to work at all.
Some are like my childhood, they don't even have the strength to speak at a young age, and they desperately breathe instinctively in order to survive the ants.
Life is dignified, but this does not mean that life itself is dignified.
Life and death are two sides of life. How can we avoid death like avoiding disasters and seek life like seeking Buddhahood?
If according to many people's teachings, survival itself is a dignity, then where does the phrase "the glory of life and the greatness of death" come from? How come the old saying "I would rather be broken than broken tiles"?
In a medical system where the patient's life is good and death is evil, in the eyes of a group of people who would rather close their eyes and let go of the patient's pain, rather than open their eyes and watch the patient die peacefully, what dignity is there?
I always remember this sentence in "My Way of Survival", the role of the doctor is not only to treat the patient, but also to accompany the patient through the final years.
What is "can't give up easily"?
We're not talking about a group of people who are looking for short-sightedness because of lovelornness, unemployment, and debt, but a group of patients who have been suffering for a long time without a way out.
Which of those patients gave up easily? If you give up easily, how can you endure to the extent that your family property pays all the medical expenses? If he gave up easily, how could he let his family support him in his caring career for more than ten years? If you give up easily, how can you get asthma until you are too old to walk before turning to others for help.
Which patient's life did the death doctor give up so easily? Didn't the death doctor himself screen out more than 95% of the people who died for help in the country? When you see that the other party's body burns more than 80%, isn't he also persuading the other party to continue to work hard to survive? After seeing that the old lady has Perkins Syndrome, didn't she persuade her to live with her family for a while longer?
What is "who has the right to decide the choice of others?"
If the patient himself has no right to choose to die, what right do others who are not the patient have the right to decide whether the patient himself wants to die with dignity?
In fact, every patient under the death doctor signed his own death certificate under the watchful eyes of his family, and each family member testified in court to approve the death doctor's practice.
Compared with those doctors who shouted for justice but did not help solve the problem of medical problems and medical expenses, and the church members who shouted the gospel of God but did not even know who died and what kind of disease they got, who is more than those who have been sick for more than ten years or even a few days? The ten-year-old patient himself, the family who worked tirelessly, loved and insisted on taking care of the patient, the dead doctor who talked to the patient one by one and risked jail time for each execution had the right to discuss this issue?
What is meant by "when faced with a painful disease, family members or patients who choose 'euthanasia' are undoubtedly trampling on the dignity of life" --
not giving patients the dignity of death, watching him become incontinent, being completely manipulated by others, but Maybe you can't even open your eyes? Even if you let your parents, children, partners and other people work hard to make money to maintain the life he has left to breathe, is this called the dignity of life?
Is the dignity of life only that the brain is still active and breathing has to be maintained by a ventilator?
What is the dignity of life, it is more reliable to use the reason "God does not allow". But if God does not allow the existence of the Doctor of Death, why should he be allowed to appear in this world?
Whether I saw this movie or not, I absolutely support euthanasia. Although it may be unfair, one cannot give up food because of choking.
As for the main character, because he acted so well, when I watched it, I completely forgot that the person in front of me was Al Pacino, just a super stubborn old man.
