I long for the freedom to commit suicide

After procrastinating for a long time, I still watched this movie. I thought differently from the director. Oh, a biopic, not what he thought, then I thought differently from the judge. I want the freedom to commit suicide. I had never quite understood why some countries considered abortion or suicide to be a crime, but now I understand, and I understand everything when it comes to God and religion. I never thought that any single being, or not being, could decide my life or death. If there is such a day, when I can no longer control my own life, I hope I can say goodbye to all the people I love with dignity, and then die calmly. I would be grateful to the death doctor who helped me at that time. Because dying with dignity is better than living in this world and making my loved one suffer day after day. I am a celibate. To be honest, I have liked a lot of people, and I may have forgotten their names, because my likes are very limited. It may be as short as two minutes, or even four or five seconds. I will not stop loving people. I like it, but I've never thought about turning into a fixed relationship with either, nothing beats my conviction that if there is one, it's the freedom to align with it. I am reluctant to have offspring, because I have always believed that reproduction is the desire of the previous generation rather than the desire of the next generation. Do they hope so? Birth, growth, old age, death. This week comes again and again. I don't know, I can't talk to them, I can only decide for myself. I hope to be able to live to the age of old age, greet my relatives and friends, and leave calmly and dignifiedly. If there is such a day, please bless me, the people I love. If there is such a day, please express my indescribable gratitude to the death doctor who helped me.

    If one day you were asked to face death, if one day you were asked to accept the dignified and independent end of your life from your loved ones, what would you think? How will you choose. Every time I watch the film, I will immerse myself in it, follow the plot, and watch it with tears. Maybe he is right, but he defiantly challenged the bottom line of human nature and attacked the rigidity of the law. This stubborn old man insisted on his beliefs, It's just that the arm can't twist the thigh and was beaten

    As a person who supports the view that "euthanasia is a kind of medical service", watching the film's final trial is annoying. God decides life? Shit. Life is one's own, so you should have your own decision. When the pain of the body finally comes to you, you will understand that death is a kind of beauty. Although Al Pacino is old, his charm is undiminished.

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.
