"People never know how good it is when it doesn't hurt"

"People never know how good it is when it doesn't hurt." I always remember what Wang Jiapeng wrote in his autobiography. I have never written a long review, but I am very impressed with this movie, so I want to express my experience.

Although I am not seriously ill and a healthy person, I understand how unbearable the pain is.

I have dysmenorrhea, which is very serious. I have hysterical pain all day every month, diarrhea, dizziness, and vomiting. Whether it is going to school or the sprint stage of the college entrance examination, this day must be a day off and lying in bed for a whole day. Although it is only one day a month, I am not someone who has experienced it personally. I don't know how to endure these 10 to 20 hours. Abdominal cramps, tingling, sweating, vomiting, dizziness, and having to take painkillers at 2 in the middle of the night to fall asleep. But this is only one day a month.

Watching this movie, I can’t imagine, assuming that I will spend the rest of my life like this day after day, year after year... But at the same time there are some so-called law defenders who defend their so-called "respect for life." People of creed, prevent me from ending this day-to-day pain, just let me "live" until the day I can't afford the medical expenses, then unplug my oxygen tube or injection tube, or suffocate my life. Starving to death = = I will only feel that it is too inhumane, why I must be forced to be so painful and unable to get salvation, why it is also death, I have no right to choose a comfortable and dignified method of death.

I just think about it instead. So I can understand.

However, the boundary between euthanasia and suicide seems a bit ambiguous. I don’t support all people who don’t want to live to apply for euthanasia. I just hope that one day, I can pass some specific procedures such as testing, evaluation, and inspection. , To determine whether a person has an irretrievable life, whether there is only endless pain and torture waiting for him, whether he is understood by his family, whether there is sufficient reason, etc. No matter what, if a person is forced to that share, he should have the right to choose the way to die.

Just like a special case in the film, the young man who suffered from severe depression and self-immolation was not allowed to euthanize him, and first of all he was cured of depression.

I hope that one day, the law will be more humane and perfect, not just "laws"!

People are mortal, and I hope that the day I can choose (= = my mother will definitely scold me when I say this, "Bah, baah,", then throw it out=3=)

    We are still striving to live with dignity, and they are already fighting for how to die with dignity. Al Pacino was really an old playboy, and his wrinkled face was no longer the edge of the godfather.

    HBO's mini TV series is almost perfect, and its technique is very simple. The director also gave up technical and tactical tricks. He put all his effort into portraying characters and popularizing news events. Mr. Al Pacino’s performance will definitely drive you crazy!

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: Our nation tolerates differences of opinions, because we have a civilized and non-violent way of resolving our conflicts.

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

    Judge Cooper: You can criticize the law, lecture about the law, speak to the media or petition voters.

    Judge Cooper: But you must always stay within the limits provided by the law. You may not break the law, or take the law into your own hands.

    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.
