Getting more & more lazier each day.. Hee ~ Yesterday , accompanied my mom to bring my aunt to go to NUH for her check-up..My aunt had a mild stroke 2 years ago & a day before my bday.. Was rather upset during my bday tat year.. Went to my aunt's house in clementi.. Almost felt like going to SIM .. Hee ~ Ohh.. i miss school days .. Felt sad when i saw my aunt.. :(Think i haven seen her for 3 months plus ba.. She has grown thinner .. She has dementia.. So she repeated some things over & over again.. For eg, my mom gave her a watch , she kept asking me whether is it my mom gave it to her.. At tat moment , it felt scary to grow old and have illness .. Went to NUH and then back to clementi .. It was a long journery ! Also realised tat it has been hard on my mom to bring my aunt to NUH..
Death is a taboo issue .. Euthanasia & Advance Medical Directive (AMD) have a fine line between the two ..According to Wikipedia , Euthanasia (literally "good death" in Ancient Greek) refers to the practice of ending a life in a painless manner.. It is legalised in some countries & not in s'pore.. According to MOH , An Advance Medical Directive (AMD) is a legal document you sign in advance to inform your doctor that you do not want the use of any life-sustaining treatment to be used to prolong your life in the event you become terminally ill and unconscious and where death is imminent.. Do u think euthanasia is a good thing ? Is it feasible in s'pore ? Think most christians will be against euthanasia.. There are debates abt these death issues.. It depends on your own perception.. If one is brain-dead but still breathing, does tat considered as still living ? Is there any quality of life in tat kind of situation?
