EXACTLY! She spewed how she will "also fight to let him go" then regurgitatted how its about HER and not what HE WANTS by saying he would not have a right to say, I cant take anymore. How utterly selfish is that! "my son got to know his dad" Well isnt that special! Not everyone has a small child they need to consider! Not everyone who is terminally ill,will even be COGNIZANT enough to even be AWARE OF THEIR SURROUNDINGS! But hey, as long as the HEALTHY PERSON WANTS YOU TO SUFFER FOR THEIR WELL BEING, WELL, YOU SHOULD JUST DO IT! It is about THEM after all!
Your story is amazing but your story is NOT everyone s. Nobody should have to live in pain. He lived 3 good years, others might have suffered for 3 years. That's why it's a personal decision that we all should have.
I too left a comment. Patients choosing the assisted suicide route aren't able to choose that legally until they are only a few months from the end of their life. They too often hope for a miracle but if that miracle does not come and living on is just too unbearable, they have a chance to go peacefully.
This guy had brain cancer, from the looks of it, and its terrible. Only thing I fear more than brain cancer is Alzheimers Disease. I feel that this lady is being selfish by telling everyone not to choose assisted suicide. Sure those moments were a gift, but were they a gift for her husband? How much did he suffer so that the older boy could know his dad or so they could have another kid together? The person suffering from an incurable, terminal disease needs to make the final call. Ill say this, if my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer, he would get the final say and if he wanted to die early and escape the bullshit I'd make it happen. If he wanted to go through all of it I'd be there with him and make it as peaceful as possible. But it would be his choice and his alone and I wouldn't make a video telling people not to stop their suffering.
correct. JJ Hanson Jr. felt that the memories outweighed the pain and the discomfort. He got to create two beautiful children, and he has left his wife with two young boys, that will leave his wife with some company. He didn't leave her alone, and widowed. He left her widowed, but she has two beautiful kids to still continue to make memories with. Others can't say the same, and every single circumstance is understood. Sometimes assisted suicide is the right move, the individual wants the control, wants to be able to die with dignity, they don't want to die bed ridden and hooked to a bunch of machines.
Guys, HERE is The TRUE Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
"You can't think about assisted suicide in just one situation" Exactly. This goes both ways. I am so unbelievably overjoyed that you had this extra time. It is amazing and truly miraculous. Please know that your situation is unique, as everyone else's is. Do not take this choice away from those who do not have the same gift you have been given.
Agreed. Patients should have the right to choose whether they live out their final days or not. This organisation wants to take away those rights. He made a choice to live out his days, not everyone should be forced to.
@@thompsonmatthew That's true. I just watched Jill Finnegan's farewell party video. She chose to end her life, and everyone around her had time to say goodbye. It was her choice, her power over her life. Life is delicate and it's understandable that people around want the dying person to stay for a bit longer. But that's not their life. They're not going to suffer. I know experience is different for anyone but I hope we don't take away the choice and power over the lives of those who suffer
My husband died of cancer in January. I was his caretaker.He never gave up and he did it for his family! I will always love him for that. JJs story is inspiring! It shows that your quality of life is all about what your living for and the happiness you can have in that time you are here. I’ve seen it. God bless you and your family sweetheart!
I’m so happy this popped up in my You Tube. I have been having a terrible time lately and was contemplating taking my life. I was tired of fighting and life felt too heavy. Then I watched this beautiful video and my whole attitude changed in an instant. Thank you J.J. I am as certain as anyone can be that you will be together in Heaven.
Please God, be with Jen. She is hurting and needs more and more signs that her life is valuable. Let her feel that so clearly that nothing can shake her.
@Lucy Heartfilia there's so many new things out there every single day to help those who want to take their own life. I was there. I still struggle and then I look at my kids and my dogs and kitty and I look at the lives of those who want so much to just have one more day. And I realize that today's problems are always fixable. And the people who are dying, they want another day. Something I have. Please get help. Email me. Maybe I can help. I hope so. l.bailey1478@gmail.com you matter. You matter to me and to others.
Please don't take your life. You are loved. There are so many options to help with depression. Please seek out help. If one thing doesn't work for you , something else will. Never give up please.
I say this with all due respect and love! Everyone's situation with diseases and cancer it's different! I choose to leave that choice of assisted suicide to the person who is suffering! I am so very happy and you were blessed to have 3 more years with your husband! Which is a miracle within itself! Everyone's journey is different! And everyone knows what they can tolerate and what they cannot tolerate! I will never go against someone's choice to have assisted suicide! Please accept my condolences on the loss of your amazing husband and the father of your children! May you and your children be blessed always! ❤️
Thank you. I don’t understand why they would even want to take that choice from someone else. Just because it wasn’t right for you, doesn’t mean no one should be able to do it. I imagine he wasn’t in constant, severe pain, but many people who consider euthanasia are. They don’t want to live that way, and they shouldn’t have to.
I do to some people suffer so much pain nothing helps. It's hard to watch them in so much pain. If they want help to die it's there choice they are the that's hurting.
I lost my mom a few weeks ago. I'm still heartbroken. She had advanced cancer, was in remission for a year and a half, but the cancer came back. She didn't die of the cancer itself, but of sepsis during chemo. She was very clear that if she was told that she was terminal, that she would go for assisted suicide. That wasn't wrong, undignified or selfish of her, and I supported that decision wholeheartedly. It's not about me, or any other of the people that loved her, but offering relief when there was none. While she lay dying in the hospital, God forgive me, but I thought it would have been better for her if they had just ended it. I was very torn between my selfish wish and need to have her with me longer, and what was actually better for her. Please, let everyone decide for themselves what they want to do. It's not an easy decision one way or another.
YOU are the beautiful soul here! Not the liar in the video! I am sorry for your loss. I know it says 2 years ago. I lost my mom too. I get it. But I UNSELFISHLY LOVE my loved ones! Like you! And would NEVER DEMAND tht they SUFFER TO APEASE ME! I cant believe how many are praising this video and the woman in it. I am sorry she suffered such a great loss. But she is pushing an opinion, without true facts! and wanting to make decisios that are not hers ot make!
Been through the same situation 21 years ago when my dad was suffering from cancer. I was torn betweem my wish to be able to hug him one more day and my wish to see his pain end.
Tell this to someone suffering with MND and then come back and try telling the same story. You won’t. Sometimes a pain free exit is a patients right. It’s their body, their decision that should be respected.
@ItIsWhatItIs exactly, for her, her choice/his choice. I can't imagine choosing an assisted death for myself but I know others who would and one that has. Patient's right to choose.
All this video is saying that for this particular family, and their specific circumstances, and their level of comfort, and their understanding, and in their situation, the best option was to keep going. Doctors gave him 4 months- he lived 3 1/2 years, with a very obvious good quality of life. She is not advocating against assisted suicide- she is just showing people that 4 months doesn’t necessarily mean 4 months and to not give up hope- because in their case, it wasn’t 4 months- it was nearly 4 years.
Yes but this is tottaly differed illness. With MND he would not have 4 years the same way he had withn brain cancer. She just said that u have to think it twice. I am sure if he would have MND she would think different way. And even people with MND not all wanna die. It is different from person to person
And that's the beauty of having the right to choose what IS RIGHT FOR YOU. There shouldn't be any shame or guilt associated with having to make an immensely difficult decision like that. There are far too many variables for someone or some entity to have say, one way or another, over what you should do with your life. I only hope that people can truly weigh the positive & negative before deciding.... Rest in Peace, Mr. Hanson.
I prefer to be able to make my own decisions. Some wish to hang on till the very end, which I find no fault with. Some wish to go with dignity. I also find no problem with that.
Dave Arndt I’m terminal and I feel exactly the same way. Am I ready to go right now? Nope. But when I get to the point I’m ready to go. I want dignity. I don’t want my kids watching me dwindle down to my death one day. I watched my mom draw her last breath. I don’t wish that on anyone
I have cancer and every night I go to bed I think about assisted suicide via "Dignitas" but every night I find a reason not to go through with it, Cancer not only destroys your body, it affects family and friends, depression sets in and it eats you alive. I just pray that when my time comes I don't feel any pain and that family is by my side.
I hope your body does not suffer any pain and God makes it easier for you to live and recover you with a miracle. It's not impossible, The Creator is GREAT!
I hope that you keep finding your reasons. Just know, if you were my loved one I would not want to be your suffering reason. If it came to that would respect your decision. I wish you no pain💗
Pls don't take ur life , I'm nt here to judge pls BT bcoz I care, just live a day as it comes I knw its hard, BT hang in there God works in miraculous ways, just b positive n don't even think abt it, try to eat healthily avoid meat or processed foods, N ABOVE ALL, MIX BLACK SEEDS POWDER WITH WATER N DRINK DAILY N EAT 5 - 7 DATES DAILY ,,, JUST TRY N DONT IGNORE. GOD BLESS U N HEAL YOU
I understand where you're coming from, but I think most people who are considering assisted suicide are in excruciating pain. I think many people will choose to live as long as they can, but when the pain starts, it's a different story. So please don't take that away from them.
@Dwane Martin Moyer ignorant, but some people need to believe in something I suppose. Sorry about your pain, I hope your belief will see you through to happier pain free days ahead. 👍
@Dwane Martin Moyer Well since there's literally thousands to choose from and if it somehow turns out it is true, I wish you the best in choosing the right one. You could possibly live your entire life devoting yourself to the wrong one and lose everything anyway.
@Dwane Martin Moyer lol there's no fucking god, ur all fucked in the head if you think that. they're just hallucinations from people with near death experiences.. get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.
Respectfully, I disagree. I’m currently 50 years old, 10 days after my 20th birthday I was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive case of Crohn’s disease, and a year later, when my large intestine ruptured, they also found intestinal cancer. Since that point I have had 37 absolutely brutal operations that has removed 95% of my entire gastrointestinal tract, I have Darryl three relapses of cancer, and I live each day just to fight to stay alive, but as the years have gone by, my suffering and pain is beyond words, and I’ve made my intentions clear to everybody that I love, I want to die with dignity, on my terms, before my diseases take me to a vegetative state, or I could stay in that stage for months, possibly years. The moment I am no longer able to get out of bed, into it please try my best to enjoy each day, in my life, as I see it, is over. To simply exist is not enough, for my heart to beat, it’s not enough, if I can’t live my life, then my life will be over. I’ve already made every arrangement necessary legally and personally. I even had a living wake, which was actually a lot of fun, they even step me in a coffin and push it up against the wall as they greeted my guests! Despite the indescribable pain and suffering, I still have not lost my sense of humor, and I can be pretty wild, as my guests found out that day. I think I scared half of them to death! LOL! I warned them that I wasn’t going to go out quietly, and I have no intention of doing so. I’ve already got the drugs necessary To stop my heart, I can take them anytime I wish, but not yet. While each day I deteriorates a little more, when the day comes when I can no longer do everything for myself, and become a burden to my spouse, my family, and all the people I love, I’m taking those pills, and leaving this world behind with grace and dignity, filled with the love and support of the many people I’ve been so blessed to have in my life. Generally it’s not up to us when our time comes, but in my case, and other similar cases, we seem to show our animals more compassion and then we do ourselves. We would never allow our beloved cats or dogs to suffer, and put them down, so what’s so terrible about doing the same for a human being that you love? I know for a fact I am beyond any treatments, I will never ever heal or be cured, can I see no logical reason why I shouldn’t do this. This one thing I’m not telling you, but I will, even though you probably will not believe me. With my colon ruptured, I flatlined for two minutes, and in those two minutes, I had the most beautiful near death experience you could possibly imagine. I went to Paradise, literally, where I saw my family, that had already passed away by that point, and was completely surrounded by the most overwhelmingly wonderful sensations of pure love, pure joy, contentment, happiness, and there was no more pain, no more sorrow, just love. Unfortunately my grandfather told me I couldn’t stay, because I still had work to do, so I awoke in the ICU. Every since that experienced I promised myself one thing, that while I really don’t want to die, if ever I’m in a situation where I face and agonizing and slow death, I would take whatever steps are necessary to end my life with dignity and to return to that beautiful place I once visited all those years ago, and to be with the people I love most. I am so sorry about your husband, I understand your apprehension’s about assisted suicide, And I respect your opinion, I just don’t agree with her, but you have my deepest sympathies, I know that your husband will be in a better place, and out of all pain and suffering forever. And sooner or later when your time comes, you will be reunited together in paradise forever. God bless.
Like you said, every patient is different and so is every scenario. This is up to the patient, not the doctor, not the family, and certainly NOT a political fund!! If a person decides to forego suffering and physical pain, let them!!! I am so happy the choice exists and will continue to exist!!!
It’s heartbreaking watching someone go through a terminal illness and those who do will all do it differently. For you guys assisted suicide wasn’t what you wanted but for others it is so we should all be mindful of people’s rights to choose. It should be a choice available for the person who is suffering the illness or disease. It’s not about those who are left behind. Sorry for your loss, I am happy for you that you had that time with JJ, it was a blessing.
I understand what she's saying, and I'm glad he had time with his children which is so important for him AND them, but for some end of life with a disease is just too painful and people should have the right to make a choice if they want to consider that path.
Look, I was 15 when I watched my bio dad suffer a horrific death from lung cancer. He went from 250 pds to 90 in 6 months. I held his hand as he has last breathe. He was in sever pain, the meds no longer worked. It caused me tremendous amount of stress and sorrow. I developed a drinking problem at 16 because no one helped me deal with it. His good sure didn't go it either. I turned 26 and developed NHL b cell and my kids had to watch me suffer, I almost ended my life then, but I survived by science. Got throat cancer at 32 and again at 43. I did plan on suicide but science has come along way. Life has been a bitch but I fought to survive and it had nothing to do with a god just good treatments. I now suffer from PPMS and pain is a constant and pain meds can not be used for to hypermetabolizing them. I will end my life in my terms and these people saying I don't have a right is nuts. My whole family , husband children parents all agree that I should end it on my chooosing. Humans can only take so much give compassion.
I too watched my dad suffer from to til last breath from lung cancer... It was a horrific experience, and I'm still traumatized by having to watch him go out like that. Though I'm glad he went quickly. I don't blame anyone for choosing to end their lives earlier, than to experience such a horrific end. Compassion, and care for quality of life at this point is a must
The way I see it, we offer assisted suicide to pets who don't have the choice to choose, why would we deny our loved ones the choice to die with dignity, and to have a little control over something so huge. A dog is put to sleep over a tumor on the leg, my.mother had to suffer with tumors on her bladder, kidneys, lungs, femur bones and brain. At the age of 49, would it really have been so inhumane to allow her the choice to go before she got t9 the point where she had to wear adult diapers, her daughters helping her on and off the commode, her sister assisting her with changing her clothes. Assisted suicide isn't about how everyone else will be effected, itss about how the person facing death wants to go about it. Itsnnot about how uncomfortable it makes the world around them, it's about how comfortable the dying person goes. If death is inevitable why make someone lose their mind, voice and dignity? I am so very sorry for your loss and glad that your husband was happy with that choice. But not everyone denied assisted suicide gets that happier ending. My mother was given three m9nths to live, she lived two. And the last month and half was torture for her and her family. I would have gladly signed the papers for assisted suicide of that was what she wanted.
Yes, and just like they should have the right to accept it, it's also ok to not accept it, just as it seems JJ didn't want it. But this video is extremely one sided, oh look at all we would have missed out on, true, but not every person who is terminally ill gets to actually lives a functional remainder of their life. And "look at what it would have done to us" .... like what? That's a bit selfish to wish for someone to live longer, in pain and suffering, to ease your life a bit, no? This video just didn't set well. Not the message at the end.
I agree, it should be a choice the patient makes, not the family members. We should respect the dying's wishes. My Mom didn't suffer to much with her lung cancer. I was her sole caregiver with Hospice coming in weekly. I had 4 months with her from the time we found out she had cancer, until she died. She never really complained about the pain to much. We made sure she had enough morphine and other meds for pain control. Ibuprophen is what helped the most. Morphine hardly touched it. I miss her every day, but I'm glad I was her caregiver and was there when she took her last breath.
I respect that assisted suicide wasn’t the right choice for you, but why do you want to take that choice away from others? It’s the same with people who are pro-life. I will never understand that selfish, backward, ignorant position. These are personal issues, not legislative issues.
There are situations, I think, in which assisted suicide should absolutely be an option for people. People in the latter stages of something like ALS, for instance, endure tremendous suffering. Choosing to have someone end that sort of suffering, at the time and place that a person chooses, should be a right.
I am sorry this is a personal choice, end of life when faced with a huge illness, is not something you can paint with a wide brush. Each person needs to make this choice with their families and their own faith. I am so happy you were able to spend those precious years with your husband. But, this is a personal choice.
I'm glad these people had a happy life until the end, but the group that posted this video is horrible for trying to prevent so many people from dying with dignity when there really is no hope of a life without unbearable suffering. We need to move away from the barbarism of forcing people to suffer as long as possible and move towards a world where people have autonomy over their right to exist or not exist, which really is the most fundamental of human rights.
I feel the same way and to be honest, I am VERY angry to have come across this video. As humans, we don't even allow our pets to suffer, we humanely euthanize them. Every human has the choice to suffer or not and should NEVER be shamed for COURAGEOUSLY choosing not to suffer anymore. Many will say that ending their life is being selfish. In fact, I believe it is VERY selfish of the people who love them to expect them to "suffer til the end".....REGARDLESS of what they are suffering from, 'terminal' or not.
Geeze... I was gonna say that "this needs to be said to my wife" But then, I see these other comments... Why some of you dudes gotta be dick wads tho.?.?..? Dayum
My partner and I have gone thru so much over the years. We are gay and have been together for 38 years. I have family that still hate us for being together. I am my partners caregiver cause he became sick quite a few years ago and his family does not bother with him at all and my family does not bother. It is so hard going thru all of this alone. I go into a room and just cry and let it all out. This story touched me so much cause I would do anything for my partner. You wonder if this is his last birthday, his last Christmas and it's so hard. I just felt a need to get this out I guess but I felt what she was feeling. One thing I do know is that someday we will all be reunited with the ones we love
James, your biological families may have turned their backs but you make your own family. You're never alone, even in the hardest times. All you have to do is reach out. I say who cares if you're gay, straight. None that matters. Is the love that matters, and you need to be you. Life is too short my friend
@@teviottilehurst God is good, Always good and they are together now. God knows this man's heart. 🙏 for forgiveness please so one day you too can be with God in Heaven.
JJ seems like an amazing man, however, I fail to see how assisted suicide would change the outcome. if he didn't want to do that, it would've been his choice to keep fighting. people who chose assisted suicide are exhausted from fighting,usually for years, their illness which is debilitating to their bodies. we cannot imagine their suffering. i'm so glad JJ had 3 years more than a doctor told him initially, but why take away someone elses right to die with dignity?
I’m suffering bad ptsd and depression with anxiety, last weekend I wanted to die, JJ your an inspiration for me to keep going. Life is better now because i got help
Glad to hear you got help! And you are doing better, but its also different from what the video is about! And as someone who also had/has PTSD, anxiety, did have a (Drug abuse), OCD I can relate to what you are feeling! But I have thought about it but never even considered it realistically! But if I knew I was going to die in 6 months, when the pain became too much and organs starting to fail! I would also like to have the ability to decide to end it!
Dark Lady It’s not as well documented in places like India because it’s viewed in the exact same way you view it. Mental health and it’s disorders is real, you genuinely are a complete moron if you refuse to believe in scientifically proven disorders. I’m not religious but I pray that no family member of yours ever has to go through depression or something like it, people like you make it that much worse.
Each person and their families deserve to make the decision that they feel is right for them Correct decision or wrong decision it’s their choice Just because you decided not to and it meant more time together doesn’t mean you have a say in what anybody else does
Well if you treat a woman right , not cheat, value all she does, and respect her fully put her first and kids before your family and respect your home , tjis is what a husband will receive in a wife!! A loving caring wife
If assisted suicide isn’t for you, that’s great. However, do NOT stand in the way of someone else’s choice of doing so. It’s not your life, not for you to decide. One thing I hate most in this world is other regular people, citizens, being able to dictate or even have a valid say in what a person can and cannot do. From euthanasia to gay marriage - if it doesn’t affect you in the end, then let said people do what they feel they need and don’t make it your business! This video… I’m glad for the extra time she got to have with him but at the same time, this video pissed me off. There’s many people that have assisted suicide in their states and don’t use it. But THE ARE COMFORTED KNOWING THEY HAVE A CHOICE! It’d be like me, rallying to abolish abortion for woman. Me- a man that wouldn’t be affected at all by a woman doing so but feeling superior enough to make my opinion not only heard, but taken into account by law. It’s ridiculous and cruel. Do what’s right for you and let others do the same, even if it wouldn’t be your choice...
We cannot make decisions about these issues based on a particular situation which comports with one side.We're too close to Auschwitz to not be skeptical about our "humane" motivations.Look at Scandinavia, which passed liberal euthanasia laws. Now, they've got people wanting to off themselves because they're depressed or heartbroken. i
So sad for him and I pray for him as well, but none of us have the right to take our own lives.we didn't give life to ourselves,we don't have that kind of power. GOD Gives Life not we ourselves
There is a lot to be said for your opinion, Jamie, you have a lot of valid points. They are incorrect in saying that a person's suicide is a "risk" for others -- people have a choice -- you can CHOOSE to have it be a risk for you or not. While I want to live as long as I can, I do NOT wish to suffer and have a terrible last part of my life, lose my independence and be a burden to others.. Today, we can pretty much tell if a person has 4 weeks or 4 months, although a person's attitude can have a LOT to do with their living or their demise. But they HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE, never take that away from them. Some people have caused others to suffer because THEY wanted them around for their own selfish reasons. That is not good. The person who is dying, is in a position to know what is better for them than anyone else does. Give them the right to choose! if they choose palliative (comfort) care, then that can be arranged, but never keep them from making their last choice. IF you do, they will be gone in time but YOU may be the one who suffers from guilt because you did not let them go! Don't let personal selfishness get in the way of reality.
It's such a personal decision. One size does not fit all. We need compassion and choices. This was exactly what was right for you but it isn't right for everyone. I send you love and light and I see why this was a good thing for you and your family.
Yes for her what about him I didn't like some of the things she said about how long he has to live what was she doing videoing this is going to make a.movie......
yeah whatever a Patient who is terminally ill must under all circumstances be awarded the right to make a descision to assisted suicide or to live his/her life out to the end. This mustn't be up to politicians, doctors, family, caretakers...but the PATIENT only!
Exactly. No one else is going through their pain. How selfish of OTHERS to demand someone in pain live just for everyone else. Absolutely horrible. Assisted suicide should be an option for anyone who has to face that decision, because it’s their deaths and they have a right to make it as comfortable and pain free as possible.
@@hc507 Agreed! And Heroin should be legalized in the U.S. for palliative care, it has way better medical properties for this than morphine.. Why waste it on drug-addicts.
@Cool Breeze not a know it all, my partner didn't have a living will, I made the decisions. But it is something people should do. Also calling someone a know it all is rude.
Sorry for your loss and cheers for your bravery. But, please don't preach your views on assisted suicide so strongly. For many, it is the only humane answer.
You have no right to tell people to suffer just so others can be happy. What about us. I am leaving this world on my time, not others. My battle is still going but when it's no longer worth living before I become a skeleton and bag of pain meds. I have a right to die. You do not have a right to stop me from it.
We have to leave it to God. IT is not easy, but God has a plan for your life as long as you have breath. I am so sorry of your illness, God sent his son Jesus to pay for your sins (and mine) and if you accept him, you have his gift of eternal life. And there will be no more pain, suffering and death.
@@annettecuke7523 don't leave anything to your fairytales. I am going to die on my choice not anyone elses. No one has a plan for me but me. I was sicker than all my chemo friends, they all professed to be a believer and they all died painful sad deaths. They left kids and husband's and parents behind. I had a much worse diease but I lived because I believed and listened to the doctors and stayed way from people while in treatment. I am still alive we yrs later. Your good did nothing for me. I am a proud August that wants to see every fairytale burn in time with their hate and bigotry. Your good head had 2 million yes to prove something, he has proven nothing. If it helps you then fine, but it's just your mental self talk.
I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad you had the choice. Whether to continue treatment or to end life with dignity. The Choice was yours...And it should be this way for all...
the entire point is that it's not your place to decide for EVERYONE else what is the right thing to do in a terrible situation. You did not choose euthanasia, and it turned out well. I'm happy for you. However, what was right for your family may not be for another family. Leave that decision to the person in the situation, keep your opinions to yourself.
As a vet nurse, I have seen many pets put to sleep for many reasons, yet we have to watch our ‘human’ family go through agony & sometimes for many yrs. Assisted suicide needs to be made legal.
A very brave wife you really were to stand by your man.may god of the heavens keeps taking care of you every single day of your life a big hug and many kisses to you and your two angels.
Im glad your prognosis changed but many people are in pain and dont get extra time. Its selfish for you to think your experience should legislate someone elses end of life care.
You are wrong when you say this is the reason assisted suicide is wrong. The people who make that decision do not do so based on the words of doctors of others...it is done based on what they feel and live with every single day. You were given an amazing gift and able to find so much happiness. Unfortunately, your story isn’t the norm for many. I’ve watched loved ones die horrible deaths many, many times. Easing their unending, excruciating pain was what should have been allowed. It should be THEIR choice...no one else’s & none of us should judge another’s choice. I completely support and love your story. I am so thankful you got it... Please don’t believe the same holds true for everyone. I promise you it doesn’t.
@@tonyahemer5314 Not true, what about those that die suddenly in a accident and die on impact? These people don't live for months suffering in pain, so how can you say we should all endure suffering. When he walked the earth he did what he could to end people's suffering, died on the cross so us sinners wouldn't have to spend eternity in hell suffering. Most cancers (if not all) and many other diseases are a result of chemicals we are ingesting or absorbing into our bodies one way or another. Even tobacco, compare it to the tobacco Indians use to smoke and live long lives without developing the ailments now caused from smoking cigarettes. It's the chemicals and additives that wreck havoc on our bodies. The auto-immune disorders, autism, Alzheimer's, and many other disorders that were unheard of before eating foods loaded with chemicals, preservatives, etc. God doesn't put people on earth just to have them endure suffering. We are all Gods children, correct? What parent wants their child to suffer? Wants them to endure pain for months or years without having medication that can relieve their pain. Depending on what is wrong pain medication may not help. Yes God allowed his only son to endure pain and to suffer at the hands of others, but he didn't allow him to live for months or years on the cross either. That's the difference these people are living for years in agony and pain.
What a beautiful love story! I feel everyone should be able to choose when the time is right to end their own life! There is enough suffering in the world , why would we want to prolong it? Let people choose how to leave this world with dignity!
I am 30 years old and terminally ill with stage iv breast cancer. I watched my aunt and grandmother die of the same disease. It’s not pretty. I’m not saying that I will absolutely choose assisted suicide, but I feel calmer knowing that’s an option available to me. I am single with no children. I love my family, but I could not live in pain, dependent on them for every need, because they could not let me go when I was ready. I’m certainly not saying that this gentleman had no desire to live. Im just saying that every situation is different and it is wrong to assume that everyone would benefit from fighting until the bitter end.
This is beautiful and I'm so happy for the extra time but don't shame others that choose a different path and their reasons why. We humanly put down animals and shame humans.. ridiculous.
I am so sorry for your loss but happy for your gains - two beautiful babies. I mean no disrespect however I am really torn on assisted suicide. I watched my sister in the last week of her partner's life. He could not open his eyes, he could not speak, he could not be touched it caused too much pain. She would have done anything to stop his pain, there was nothing that she could do but watch as a breeze caused him to moan in pain. I was also my sister's health advocate for her, she passed away in June from lung cancer that spread to her brain. I am thankful that the tumors in her brain had stopped her from feeling pain. She was only 51 years old when she passed. Now I am my mother's health advocate. She has been on dialysis for 3 years. She has only one kidney and it stopped working. I know her time is limited on this earth but in the end if she is in as much pain as my sister's partner then I am not sure that I would be against assisted suicide for her. Just because a person would choose assisted suicide for a loved one does not in anyway diminish their love. Just because a person chooses against assisted suicide does not diminish their love either. This type of thing is very situational and should be based on circumstances.
I hear ya..I was my mother's advocate and she was on dialysis for 5 years and her liver was bad too..she padded 2 yrs ago😢😢 And then my younger brother slowly passed away at 33 of alcohol and passed thus past july.
Wow. I went from a happy mood, listening to upbeat music and made my way here. I’m sooo sorry for your loss, love. You’re an *A M A Z I N G* wife and very supportive. God bless.
Assisted suicide (Right to die) should be everyone's right! Why do we feel it's ok to put or pets out of their misery, but not our loved ones? If I was dying, I wouldn't want my loved ones to watch me suffer til the bitter end, AND THEN be stuck with exorbitant medical bills. It's very selfish to tell your loved one that has a terminal illness that they have to stick it out (and suffer) because YOU want them to. My Mom suffered with Leukemua for 8 years. She suffered immensely, and it killed me to see her that way. Just because you are against it, doesn't mean we all have to be! And don't bring religion into this, because I'm talking fact, NOT fiction!
@Bryan: assisted suicide is what the medical industry doesn't want. Cause they don't earn anything out of it. Giving drugs for several years and the assistance in hospital give money! Money! They don't care about us like Michael Jackson said.
@Ziggybam: In Switzerland, there was a Doctor, Dr.med.Peter Baumann, who showed how easily and without any pain it is possible to pass away (gases like helium, carbo monoxide...). He was charged with false assumptions, put in prison and poisoned cause he died only a short time later on cancer. The medical industry feared lots of very sick ppl could prefer going this way instead of being treated for years without being cured. This world is not good to live in.
I give you blessings and prayers but I do not agree with your stand on assisted suicide. It's needs to be considered on a case by case basis. There is no "it can hurt others" it should be a human right to die with dignity when one feels they are done. You choose for you and yours but do not take it away from other people. You don't know what they feel and what they are going through just as we don't know how you feel or what you are going through.
I'm glad this family had a joyous experience as their loved one approached death. But there are those of us who have no one, no family left, and we would still like the right to have the release of death in order to relieve our suffering, should that day come. I would never wish MY choice to be forced on anyone, nor do I want their individual choices to be forced onto me.
Death is not the enemy. You fight the disease and when the disease and pain become unbearable you have a choice. But always remember that Death guarantees life and they are opposite sides of the same coin. Every body-form will die (when we do not know) but love and the memory of a loved one never dies. Al
The choice to use or not use assisted suicide is a very personal one. A friend of mine opted for it. He had inoperable cancer, his doctors told him they were out of treatment options and sent him home to die, and he was basically stuck at home, watching really boring TV. He then decided he was going to do the prescription suicide cocktail. He wouldn't tell his friends exactly when he was going to do it, but he knew exactly how he wanted to do it, what wines he wanted to drink after his suicide cocktail, and how he wanted to be memorialized and remembered. It's not a choice I'd want for myself, but it was his life, and his choice.
not everyone who is dying has 24/7 emotional and physical support. if they did, they might want to stick around longer until the natural end of their lives.
I am glad for you. But some people's suffering is just beyond endurance. I don't judge you. Your choices were yours. Please respect other people's choices.
My husband is dying from end stage non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to both lungs, lymph nodes, spine, Right hip and bones in both legs, and the pain is excruciating, even with pain meds. I told him that if he decides to stop treatments, (radiation, chemo & immunotherapy (keytruda) as he has talked to me about, and just the cancer run its course and just let go, that i am at his side. The treatments make him feel worse, causes loss of appetite, weight loss, vomitting, nausea and an INCREASE in pain. If he stops treatments they say he will have 3-7mon, with treatments, maybe a year, possibly more, but who wants to suffer & hurt more like that? No one should have to suffer like this, NO ONE. So no matter what, im here and i support him in whatever he decides.
Thank you for sharing. I’m dying as well, and l just would like to say “l love you” to my ex wife and kids.
we love u
I love you ❤
Peace and respect to you..I'm in tears...
Well my dear friend I'm going to tell you a very very big secret there isn't no death no you're probably thinking whoa whoa like I said there isn't no death there is life After Life and I am a near death experience I have seen that other world and you or somebody around you must know about near death experiences deathbed visions if you have already passed away that's fine but if you are still here don't be scared there isn't no death at all what you will see you will come out of your body then you will see a white beautiful light it will feel the room it is beautiful then you will feel and see god then a beautiful tunnel send you will be going home your true home I am so sorry if this is so heavy for you or your family or Friends but I can only tell the truth love you all Steve
We love you...
Assisted suicide is about when THEY are ready to end the suffering. It's THEIR choice and THEIR right!!!
Amen. Not a lot of us have a person like this in their lives.
Shut your mouth ya moron, your opinion means nothing. Get off the internet.
EXACTLY! She spewed how she will "also fight to let him go" then regurgitatted how its about HER and not what HE WANTS by saying he would not have a right to say, I cant take anymore. How utterly selfish is that! "my son got to know his dad" Well isnt that special! Not everyone has a small child they need to consider! Not everyone who is terminally ill,will even be COGNIZANT enough to even be AWARE OF THEIR SURROUNDINGS! But hey, as long as the HEALTHY PERSON WANTS YOU TO SUFFER FOR THEIR WELL BEING, WELL, YOU SHOULD JUST DO IT! It is about THEM after all!

@@omgthekitty1676 why are you laughing?
scarlette536 She’s the strongest woman I’ve ever seen.
Your story is amazing but your story is NOT everyone s. Nobody should have to live in pain. He lived 3 good years, others might have suffered for 3 years. That's why it's a personal decision that we all should have.
I agree with you I left a comment she's selfish and why show it all in a video she's ...........
I too left a comment. Patients choosing the assisted suicide route aren't able to choose that legally until they are only a few months from the end of their life. They too often hope for a miracle but if that miracle does not come and living on is just too unbearable, they have a chance to go peacefully.
Appreciate their story, but in the end, this should be an INDIVIDUAL choice, no one else’s.
This guy had brain cancer, from the looks of it, and its terrible. Only thing I fear more than brain cancer is Alzheimers Disease. I feel that this lady is being selfish by telling everyone not to choose assisted suicide. Sure those moments were a gift, but were they a gift for her husband? How much did he suffer so that the older boy could know his dad or so they could have another kid together? The person suffering from an incurable, terminal disease needs to make the final call. Ill say this, if my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer, he would get the final say and if he wanted to die early and escape the bullshit I'd make it happen. If he wanted to go through all of it I'd be there with him and make it as peaceful as possible. But it would be his choice and his alone and I wouldn't make a video telling people not to stop their suffering.
@@BeautifulEnigma83 life is suffering
Only the person dealing with the pain and bodily problems should be able to make that decision. Quality of life at some point does matter.
She was saying that for them it was better to keep making memories~
Maybe not for everyone, though💝...
correct. JJ Hanson Jr. felt that the memories outweighed the pain and the discomfort. He got to create two beautiful children, and he has left his wife with two young boys, that will leave his wife with some company. He didn't leave her alone, and widowed. He left her widowed, but she has two beautiful kids to still continue to make memories with.
Others can't say the same, and every single circumstance is understood. Sometimes assisted suicide is the right move, the individual wants the control, wants to be able to die with dignity, they don't want to die bed ridden and hooked to a bunch of machines.
@@Royalsprincess1 I truly understand and so does everyone in my family that the same goes for me. 🙏

"You can't think about assisted suicide in just one situation"
Exactly. This goes both ways.
I am so unbelievably overjoyed that you had this extra time. It is amazing and truly miraculous. Please know that your situation is unique, as everyone else's is. Do not take this choice away from those who do not have the same gift you have been given.
Well said
Assisted suicide gives patients their power back. And is a merciful way to be let to compared to suffering
Agreed. Patients should have the right to choose whether they live out their final days or not. This organisation wants to take away those rights. He made a choice to live out his days, not everyone should be forced to.
@@thompsonmatthew That's true. I just watched Jill Finnegan's farewell party video. She chose to end her life, and everyone around her had time to say goodbye. It was her choice, her power over her life. Life is delicate and it's understandable that people around want the dying person to stay for a bit longer. But that's not their life. They're not going to suffer. I know experience is different for anyone but I hope we don't take away the choice and power over the lives of those who suffer
Agreed.
Very well said. It's important to always remember not everyone is the same, even when it comes to dying.
My husband died of cancer in January. I was his caretaker.He never gave up and he did it for his family! I will always love him for that. JJs story is inspiring! It shows that your quality of life is all about what your living for and the happiness you can have in that time you are here. I’ve seen it. God bless you and your family sweetheart!
God bless you too
Bless you
The point is though, that it is NIT for you or JJ's sweet wife to choose for others what THEY need.
I’m so happy this popped up in my You Tube. I have been having a terrible time lately and was contemplating taking my life. I was tired of fighting and life felt too heavy. Then I watched this beautiful video and my whole attitude changed in an instant. Thank you J.J. I am as certain as anyone can be that you will be together in Heaven.
Jen Blossom Things will get better
How wonderful.....Hope your ok Jen ....God Bless you cc
Please God, be with Jen. She is hurting and needs more and more signs that her life is valuable. Let her feel that so clearly that nothing can shake her.
@Lucy Heartfilia there's so many new things out there every single day to help those who want to take their own life. I was there. I still struggle and then I look at my kids and my dogs and kitty and I look at the lives of those who want so much to just have one more day. And I realize that today's problems are always fixable. And the people who are dying, they want another day. Something I have. Please get help. Email me. Maybe I can help. I hope so.
l.bailey1478@gmail.com you matter. You matter to me and to others.
Please don't take your life. You are loved. There are so many options to help with depression. Please seek out help. If one thing doesn't work for you , something else will. Never give up please.
This is a anti eusthanasia video, not everyone wants to suffer a prolonged illness, your choice , my choice
I say this with all due respect and love! Everyone's situation with diseases and cancer it's different! I choose to leave that choice of assisted suicide to the person who is suffering! I am so very happy and you were blessed to have 3 more years with your husband! Which is a miracle within itself! Everyone's journey is different! And everyone knows what they can tolerate and what they cannot tolerate! I will never go against someone's choice to have assisted suicide! Please accept my condolences on the loss of your amazing husband and the father of your children! May you and your children be blessed always! ❤️
Thank you. I don’t understand why they would even want to take that choice from someone else. Just because it wasn’t right for you, doesn’t mean no one should be able to do it. I imagine he wasn’t in constant, severe pain, but many people who consider euthanasia are. They don’t want to live that way, and they shouldn’t have to.
I do to some people suffer so much pain nothing helps. It's hard to watch them in so much pain. If they want help to die it's there choice they are the that's hurting.
I lost my mom a few weeks ago. I'm still heartbroken. She had advanced cancer, was in remission for a year and a half, but the cancer came back. She didn't die of the cancer itself, but of sepsis during chemo. She was very clear that if she was told that she was terminal, that she would go for assisted suicide. That wasn't wrong, undignified or selfish of her, and I supported that decision wholeheartedly. It's not about me, or any other of the people that loved her, but offering relief when there was none.
While she lay dying in the hospital, God forgive me, but I thought it would have been better for her if they had just ended it. I was very torn between my selfish wish and need to have her with me longer, and what was actually better for her.
Please, let everyone decide for themselves what they want to do. It's not an easy decision one way or another.
Ny heart goes out to you at this difficult time. 🙏🏼
YOU are the beautiful soul here! Not the liar in the video! I am sorry for your loss. I know it says 2 years ago. I lost my mom too. I get it. But I UNSELFISHLY LOVE my loved ones! Like you! And would NEVER DEMAND tht they SUFFER TO APEASE ME! I cant believe how many are praising this video and the woman in it. I am sorry she suffered such a great loss. But she is pushing an opinion, without true facts! and wanting to make decisios that are not hers ot make!
Been through the same situation 21 years ago when my dad was suffering from cancer. I was torn betweem my wish to be able to hug him one more day and my wish to see his pain end.
@@wordswritteninred7171 What a horrible comment to make. I'm truly amazed at your insensitivity. You should be ashamed of yourself.
God will forgive you if you only ask Him.
Tell this to someone suffering with MND and then come back and try telling the same story. You won’t. Sometimes a pain free exit is a patients right. It’s their body, their decision that should be respected.
I totally agree
I do know how it feels to lose someone who means the absolute then have to let go.......
@ItIsWhatItIs exactly, for her, her choice/his choice. I can't imagine choosing an assisted death for myself but I know others who would and one that has. Patient's right to choose.
All this video is saying that for this particular family, and their specific circumstances, and their level of comfort, and their understanding, and in their situation, the best option was to keep going. Doctors gave him 4 months- he lived 3 1/2 years, with a very obvious good quality of life.
She is not advocating against assisted suicide- she is just showing people that 4 months doesn’t necessarily mean 4 months and to not give up hope- because in their case, it wasn’t 4 months- it was nearly 4 years.
Yes but this is tottaly differed illness.
With MND he would not have 4 years the same way he had withn brain cancer.
She just said that u have to think it twice.
I am sure if he would have MND she would think different way.
And even people with MND not all wanna die. It is different from person to person
And that's the beauty of having the right to choose what IS RIGHT FOR YOU. There shouldn't be any shame or guilt associated with having to make an immensely difficult decision like that. There are far too many variables for someone or some entity to have say, one way or another, over what you should do with your life. I only hope that people can truly weigh the positive & negative before deciding.... Rest in Peace, Mr. Hanson.
I prefer to be able to make my own decisions. Some wish to hang on till the very end, which I find no fault with. Some wish to go with dignity. I also find no problem with that.
Dave Arndt amen
People who “hang on to the very end” die with massive dignity.
You are clearly sucide prone. Thx for letting us know.
Dave Arndt
I’m terminal and I feel exactly the same way.
Am I ready to go right now? Nope.
But when I get to the point I’m ready to go. I want dignity. I don’t want my kids watching me dwindle down to my death one day. I watched my mom draw her last breath. I don’t wish that on anyone
Paige Marshall I’m so sorry, Paige.
I have cancer and every night I go to bed I think about assisted suicide via "Dignitas" but every night I find a reason not to go through with it, Cancer not only destroys your body, it affects family and friends, depression sets in and it eats you alive. I just pray that when my time comes I don't feel any pain and that family is by my side.
I hope your body does not suffer any pain and God makes it easier for you to live and recover you with a miracle. It's not impossible, The Creator is GREAT!
I hope that you keep finding your reasons. Just know, if you were my loved one I would not want to be your suffering reason. If it came to that would respect your decision. I wish you no pain💗
i love you

I understand where you're coming from, but I think most people who are considering assisted suicide are in excruciating pain. I think many people will choose to live as long as they can, but when the pain starts, it's a different story. So please don't take that away from them.

@Dwane Martin Moyer ignorant, but some people need to believe in something I suppose. Sorry about your pain, I hope your belief will see you through to happier pain free days ahead. 👍
@Dwane Martin Moyer Well since there's literally thousands to choose from and if it somehow turns out it is true, I wish you the best in choosing the right one. You could possibly live your entire life devoting yourself to the wrong one and lose everything anyway.
@Dwane Martin Moyer lol there's no fucking god, ur all fucked in the head if you think that. they're just hallucinations from people with near death experiences.. get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.
i totally agree with you.
@Dwane Martin Moyer its not yours but maybe mine. So?
Respectfully, I disagree. I’m currently 50 years old, 10 days after my 20th birthday I was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive case of Crohn’s disease, and a year later, when my large intestine ruptured, they also found intestinal cancer. Since that point I have had 37 absolutely brutal operations that has removed 95% of my entire gastrointestinal tract, I have Darryl three relapses of cancer, and I live each day just to fight to stay alive, but as the years have gone by, my suffering and pain is beyond words, and I’ve made my intentions clear to everybody that I love, I want to die with dignity, on my terms, before my diseases take me to a vegetative state, or I could stay in that stage for months, possibly years. The moment I am no longer able to get out of bed, into it please try my best to enjoy each day, in my life, as I see it, is over. To simply exist is not enough, for my heart to beat, it’s not enough, if I can’t live my life, then my life will be over. I’ve already made every arrangement necessary legally and personally. I even had a living wake, which was actually a lot of fun, they even step me in a coffin and push it up against the wall as they greeted my guests! Despite the indescribable pain and suffering, I still have not lost my sense of humor, and I can be pretty wild, as my guests found out that day. I think I scared half of them to death! LOL! I warned them that I wasn’t going to go out quietly, and I have no intention of doing so. I’ve already got the drugs necessary To stop my heart, I can take them anytime I wish, but not yet. While each day I deteriorates a little more, when the day comes when I can no longer do everything for myself, and become a burden to my spouse, my family, and all the people I love, I’m taking those pills, and leaving this world behind with grace and dignity, filled with the love and support of the many people I’ve been so blessed to have in my life. Generally it’s not up to us when our time comes, but in my case, and other similar cases, we seem to show our animals more compassion and then we do ourselves. We would never allow our beloved cats or dogs to suffer, and put them down, so what’s so terrible about doing the same for a human being that you love? I know for a fact I am beyond any treatments, I will never ever heal or be cured, can I see no logical reason why I shouldn’t do this. This one thing I’m not telling you, but I will, even though you probably will not believe me. With my colon ruptured, I flatlined for two minutes, and in those two minutes, I had the most beautiful near death experience you could possibly imagine. I went to Paradise, literally, where I saw my family, that had already passed away by that point, and was completely surrounded by the most overwhelmingly wonderful sensations of pure love, pure joy, contentment, happiness, and there was no more pain, no more sorrow, just love. Unfortunately my grandfather told me I couldn’t stay, because I still had work to do, so I awoke in the ICU. Every since that experienced I promised myself one thing, that while I really don’t want to die, if ever I’m in a situation where I face and agonizing and slow death, I would take whatever steps are necessary to end my life with dignity and to return to that beautiful place I once visited all those years ago, and to be with the people I love most. I am so sorry about your husband, I understand your apprehension’s about assisted suicide, And I respect your opinion, I just don’t agree with her, but you have my deepest sympathies, I know that your husband will be in a better place, and out of all pain and suffering forever. And sooner or later when your time comes, you will be reunited together in paradise forever. God bless.

Like you said, every patient is different and so is every scenario. This is up to the patient, not the doctor, not the family, and certainly NOT a political fund!! If a person decides to forego suffering and physical pain, let them!!! I am so happy the choice exists and will continue to exist!!!
It’s heartbreaking watching someone go through a terminal illness and those who do will all do it differently. For you guys assisted suicide wasn’t what you wanted but for others it is so we should all be mindful of people’s rights to choose. It should be a choice available for the person who is suffering the illness or disease. It’s not about those who are left behind. Sorry for your loss, I am happy for you that you had that time with JJ, it was a blessing.
I don't think people do assisted suicide upon hearing they are terminal. They usually wait until they are incapacitated.
It would ideally be before they get to that point, probably once they start to feel the true impact of their illness or condition.
@@annsturtevant1684 amen .Go away with dignaty intact

I love how he stares at his wife and kids with such love omg im in tears he was a such a lovely man r.i.p xx
I understand what she's saying, and I'm glad he had time with his children which is so important for him AND them, but for some end of life with a disease is just too painful and people should have the right to make a choice if they want to consider that path.
Look, I was 15 when I watched my bio dad suffer a horrific death from lung cancer. He went from 250 pds to 90 in 6 months. I held his hand as he has last breathe. He was in sever pain, the meds no longer worked. It caused me tremendous amount of stress and sorrow. I developed a drinking problem at 16 because no one helped me deal with it. His good sure didn't go it either.
I turned 26 and developed NHL b cell and my kids had to watch me suffer, I almost ended my life then, but I survived by science. Got throat cancer at 32 and again at 43. I did plan on suicide but science has come along way. Life has been a bitch but I fought to survive and it had nothing to do with a god just good treatments. I now suffer from PPMS and pain is a constant and pain meds can not be used for to hypermetabolizing them. I will end my life in my terms and these people saying I don't have a right is nuts. My whole family , husband children parents all agree that I should end it on my chooosing.
Humans can only take so much give compassion.
I too watched my dad suffer from to til last breath from lung cancer... It was a horrific experience, and I'm still traumatized by having to watch him go out like that. Though I'm glad he went quickly. I don't blame anyone for choosing to end their lives earlier, than to experience such a horrific end. Compassion, and care for quality of life at this point is a must
@RickReviews Thanks friend. 💪🙏 Wish you all the best.

Hope you are in a better place now.
The way I see it, we offer assisted suicide to pets who don't have the choice to choose, why would we deny our loved ones the choice to die with dignity, and to have a little control over something so huge. A dog is put to sleep over a tumor on the leg, my.mother had to suffer with tumors on her bladder, kidneys, lungs, femur bones and brain. At the age of 49, would it really have been so inhumane to allow her the choice to go before she got t9 the point where she had to wear adult diapers, her daughters helping her on and off the commode, her sister assisting her with changing her clothes. Assisted suicide isn't about how everyone else will be effected, itss about how the person facing death wants to go about it. Itsnnot about how uncomfortable it makes the world around them, it's about how comfortable the dying person goes. If death is inevitable why make someone lose their mind, voice and dignity?
I am so very sorry for your loss and glad that your husband was happy with that choice. But not everyone denied assisted suicide gets that happier ending. My mother was given three m9nths to live, she lived two. And the last month and half was torture for her and her family. I would have gladly signed the papers for assisted suicide of that was what she wanted.
i too firmly believe the right to assisted suicide must be granted to all terminally ill adults...period...
So sorry for you mum.
My mum also suffered.
I also would have gladly signed the papers to put her out of her pain.
💔🌹
Yes, and just like they should have the right to accept it, it's also ok to not accept it, just as it seems JJ didn't want it.
But this video is extremely one sided, oh look at all we would have missed out on, true, but not every person who is terminally ill gets to actually lives a functional remainder of their life. And "look at what it would have done to us" .... like what? That's a bit selfish to wish for someone to live longer, in pain and suffering, to ease your life a bit, no?
This video just didn't set well. Not the message at the end.
@@annsturtevant1684 absolutely right!
I agree, it should be a choice the patient makes, not the family members. We should respect the dying's wishes. My Mom didn't suffer to much with her lung cancer. I was her sole caregiver with Hospice coming in weekly. I had 4 months with her from the time we found out she had cancer, until she died. She never really complained about the pain to much. We made sure she had enough morphine and other meds for pain control. Ibuprophen is what helped the most. Morphine hardly touched it. I miss her every day, but I'm glad I was her caregiver and was there when she took her last breath.
I respect that assisted suicide wasn’t the right choice for you, but why do you want to take that choice away from others? It’s the same with people who are pro-life. I will never understand that selfish, backward, ignorant position. These are personal issues, not legislative issues.
There are situations, I think, in which assisted suicide should absolutely be an option for people. People in the latter stages of something like ALS, for instance, endure tremendous suffering. Choosing to have someone end that sort of suffering, at the time and place that a person chooses, should be a right.
I agree
I am sorry this is a personal choice, end of life when faced with a huge illness, is not something you can paint with a wide brush. Each person needs to make this choice with their families and their own faith. I am so happy you were able to spend those precious years with your husband. But, this is a personal choice.
No one is disputing it is a personal choice but remember Ur a long time dead.😢
@@andreawood991 Death is better than suffering in my opinion.
I'm glad these people had a happy life until the end, but the group that posted this video is horrible for trying to prevent so many people from dying with dignity when there really is no hope of a life without unbearable suffering. We need to move away from the barbarism of forcing people to suffer as long as possible and move towards a world where people have autonomy over their right to exist or not exist, which really is the most fundamental of human rights.
I feel the same way and to be honest, I am VERY angry to have come across this video. As humans, we don't even allow our pets to suffer, we humanely euthanize them. Every human has the choice to suffer or not and should NEVER be shamed for COURAGEOUSLY choosing not to suffer anymore. Many will say that ending their life is being selfish. In fact, I believe it is VERY selfish of the people who love them to expect them to "suffer til the end".....REGARDLESS of what they are suffering from, 'terminal' or not.
To all men take note. The love you give is the love you will get back.
@Michael Bing I like that and so true it is a two way street a
You sad bitter woman
Geeze... I was gonna say that "this needs to be said to my wife"
But then, I see these other comments...
Why some of you dudes gotta be dick wads tho.?.?..? Dayum

One can certainly hope so, but this is an imperfect life, so expectations should be nil.
Whats the point of saying this in this type of video? Most reasonable men already knew that.. Sigh
My partner and I have gone thru so much over the years. We are gay and have been together for 38 years. I have family that still hate us for being together. I am my partners caregiver cause he became sick quite a few years ago and his family does not bother with him at all and my family does not bother. It is so hard going thru all of this alone. I go into a room and just cry and let it all out. This story touched me so much cause I would do anything for my partner. You wonder if this is his last birthday, his last Christmas and it's so hard. I just felt a need to get this out I guess but I felt what she was feeling. One thing I do know is that someday we will all be reunited with the ones we love
James, your biological families may have turned their backs but you make your own family. You're never alone, even in the hardest times. All you have to do is reach out. I say who cares if you're gay, straight. None that matters. Is the love that matters, and you need to be you. Life is too short my friend
May he Rest In Peace May god give you strength,,, god bless you lady and your kids!
The god who took his life away then. No God.
@@teviottilehurst God is good, Always good and they are together now. God knows this man's heart. 🙏 for forgiveness please so one day you too can be with God in Heaven.
I believe in choices. So glad your choice worked for you all. Much love to you all.
I would love for the medical directors to allow people to make the choice to live or die with dignity!
I believe that everyone should have the right to make these difficult decisions that doctors can't/won't make for their patients. 😔
JJ seems like an amazing man, however, I fail to see how assisted suicide would change the outcome. if he didn't want to do that, it would've been his choice to keep fighting. people who chose assisted suicide are exhausted from fighting,usually for years, their illness which is debilitating to their bodies. we cannot imagine their suffering. i'm so glad JJ had 3 years more than a doctor told him initially, but why take away someone elses right to die with dignity?
I’m suffering bad ptsd and depression with anxiety, last weekend I wanted to die, JJ your an inspiration for me to keep going. Life is better now because i got help
Glad to hear you got help!
And you are doing better, but its also different from what the video is about!
And as someone who also had/has PTSD, anxiety, did have a (Drug abuse), OCD I can relate to what you are feeling!
But I have thought about it but never even considered it realistically!
But if I knew I was going to die in 6 months, when the pain became too much and organs starting to fail! I would also like to have the ability to decide to end it!
@@commonsense31 somebody dying of cancer would love to trade places with you in a second.
I hope u will get well soon
Dark Lady It’s not as well documented in places like India because it’s viewed in the exact same way you view it. Mental health and it’s disorders is real, you genuinely are a complete moron if you refuse to believe in scientifically proven disorders. I’m not religious but I pray that no family member of yours ever has to go through depression or something like it, people like you make it that much worse.
God bless you and guide you, may Jesus Christ be your lord and take away your pain.
Each person and their families deserve to make the decision that they feel is right for them
Correct decision or wrong decision it’s their choice
Just because you decided not to and it meant more time together doesn’t mean you have a say in what anybody else does
take notes ladies... this is what a dedicated loving wife looks and acts like.
zestydude87 agreed
Well if you treat a woman right , not cheat, value all she does, and respect her fully put her first and kids before your family and respect your home , tjis is what a husband will receive in a wife!! A loving caring wife
So take notes man!
This is what love looks like.
Easy to be a good woman if you pick a great guy...
If assisted suicide isn’t for you, that’s great. However, do NOT stand in the way of someone else’s choice of doing so. It’s not your life, not for you to decide. One thing I hate most in this world is other regular people, citizens, being able to dictate or even have a valid say in what a person can and cannot do. From euthanasia to gay marriage - if it doesn’t affect you in the end, then let said people do what they feel they need and don’t make it your business! This video… I’m glad for the extra time she got to have with him but at the same time, this video pissed me off. There’s many people that have assisted suicide in their states and don’t use it. But THE ARE COMFORTED KNOWING THEY HAVE A CHOICE! It’d be like me, rallying to abolish abortion for woman. Me- a man that wouldn’t be affected at all by a woman doing so but feeling superior enough to make my opinion not only heard, but taken into account by law. It’s ridiculous and cruel. Do what’s right for you and let others do the same, even if it wouldn’t be your choice...
Beautifully said.
We cannot make decisions about these issues based on a particular situation which comports with one side.We're too close to Auschwitz to not be skeptical about our "humane" motivations.Look at Scandinavia, which passed liberal euthanasia laws. Now, they've got people wanting to off themselves because they're depressed or heartbroken. i
So sad for him and I pray for him as well, but none of us have the right to take our own lives.we didn't give life to ourselves,we don't have that kind of power. GOD Gives Life not we ourselves
There is a lot to be said for your opinion, Jamie, you have a lot of valid points. They are incorrect in saying that a person's suicide is a "risk" for others -- people have a choice -- you can CHOOSE to have it be a risk for you or not. While I want to live as long as I can, I do NOT wish to suffer and have a terrible last part of my life, lose my independence and be a burden to others.. Today, we can pretty much tell if a person has 4 weeks or 4 months, although a person's attitude can have a LOT to do with their living or their demise. But they HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE, never take that away from them. Some people have caused others to suffer because THEY wanted them around for their own selfish reasons. That is not good. The person who is dying, is in a position to know what is better for them than anyone else does. Give them the right to choose! if they choose palliative (comfort) care, then that can be arranged, but never keep them from making their last choice. IF you do, they will be gone in time but YOU may be the one who suffers from guilt because you did not let them go! Don't let personal selfishness get in the way of reality.
Your body your choice. When is it right to kill a baby? That baby is not your body.
Rest easy James 💜
we will all see each other at the end 🙏🏼
It may not have been right for you, but from many others it is. I have as much of a Right to Die as I do to Live.
It's such a personal decision. One size does not fit all. We need compassion and choices. This was exactly what was right for you but it isn't right for everyone. I send you love and light and I see why this was a good thing for you and your family.
Yes for her what about him I didn't like some of the things she said about how long he has to live what was she doing videoing this is going to make a.movie......
Condolences to the family
yeah whatever a Patient who is terminally ill must under all circumstances be awarded the right to make a descision to assisted suicide or to live his/her life out to the end.
This mustn't be up to politicians, doctors, family, caretakers...but the PATIENT only!
Exactly. No one else is going through their pain. How selfish of OTHERS to demand someone in pain live just for everyone else. Absolutely horrible. Assisted suicide should be an option for anyone who has to face that decision, because it’s their deaths and they have a right to make it as comfortable and pain free as possible.
@@hc507 Agreed! And Heroin should be legalized in the U.S. for palliative care, it has way better medical properties for this than morphine.. Why waste it on drug-addicts.
@Cool Breeze living wills are a thing and medical by-proxies
@Cool Breeze not a know it all, my partner didn't have a living will, I made the decisions.
But it is something people should do.
Also calling someone a know it all is rude.
They didn't give like too take god did
I am in awe and speechless at the pure love, grace, joy, beauty, and goodness of this family.
Sorry for your loss and cheers for your bravery. But, please don't preach your views on assisted suicide so strongly. For many, it is the only humane answer.
You have no right to tell people to suffer just so others can be happy. What about us. I am leaving this world on my time, not others. My battle is still going but when it's no longer worth living before I become a skeleton and bag of pain meds. I have a right to die. You do not have a right to stop me from it.
Temple East I couldn't agree with you more.
May you find peace in every moment and live life on your terms.
We have to leave it to God. IT is not easy, but God has a plan for your life as long as you have breath. I am so sorry of your illness, God sent his son Jesus to pay for your sins (and mine) and if you accept him, you have his gift of eternal life. And there will be no more pain, suffering and death.
@@annettecuke7523 If you happen to see Jesus, would you mind asking him to please protect me from his followers. Thanks.
@@annettecuke7523 don't leave anything to your fairytales. I am going to die on my choice not anyone elses. No one has a plan for me but me. I was sicker than all my chemo friends, they all professed to be a believer and they all died painful sad deaths. They left kids and husband's and parents behind. I had a much worse diease but I lived because I believed and listened to the doctors and stayed way from people while in treatment. I am still alive we yrs later. Your good did nothing for me.
I am a proud August that wants to see every fairytale burn in time with their hate and bigotry. Your good head had 2 million yes to prove something, he has proven nothing. If it helps you then fine, but it's just your mental self talk.
What a wonderful brave lady. Thoughts. X
I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad you had the choice. Whether to continue treatment or to end life with dignity. The Choice was yours...And it should be this way for all...
the entire point is that it's not your place to decide for EVERYONE else what is the right thing to do in a terrible situation. You did not choose euthanasia, and it turned out well. I'm happy for you. However, what was right for your family may not be for another family. Leave that decision to the person in the situation, keep your opinions to yourself.
As a vet nurse, I have seen many pets put to sleep for many reasons, yet we have to watch our ‘human’ family go through agony & sometimes for many yrs. Assisted suicide needs to be made legal.
A very brave wife you really were to stand by your man.may god of the heavens keeps taking care of you every single day of your life a big hug and many kisses to you and your two angels.
This is real. This is life. Heartbreaking. Rest in peace, my brother.

Im glad your prognosis changed but many people are in pain and dont get extra time. Its selfish for you to think your experience should legislate someone elses end of life care.
Did JJ really have 3-1/2 good years or did you? I’ve lived this twice and FOR ME I’m glad and proud that I live in a state where this is legal.
Every person can decide for himself. Not everyone HAS a wonderful family & I include myself in that statement. I'm happy for you but walk in my shoes.
What an amazing man and woman. Positivity and love gives hope. She is an angel.
You are wrong when you say this is the reason assisted suicide is wrong. The people who make that decision do not do so based on the words of doctors of others...it is done based on what they feel and live with every single day.
You were given an amazing gift and able to find so much happiness. Unfortunately, your story isn’t the norm for many. I’ve watched loved ones die horrible deaths many, many times. Easing their unending, excruciating pain was what should have been allowed. It should be THEIR choice...no one else’s & none of us should judge another’s choice.
I completely support and love your story. I am so thankful you got it...
Please don’t believe the same holds true for everyone. I promise you it doesn’t.
Christ died on the cross for us!!! I'm sure it wasn't pleasant we must all endure suffering!! We are taken when Christ wants us not when we want
@@tonyahemer5314 Not true, what about those that die suddenly in a accident and die on impact? These people don't live for months suffering in pain, so how can you say we should all endure suffering. When he walked the earth he did what he could to end people's suffering, died on the cross so us sinners wouldn't have to spend eternity in hell suffering. Most cancers (if not all) and many other diseases are a result of chemicals we are ingesting or absorbing into our bodies one way or another. Even tobacco, compare it to the tobacco Indians use to smoke and live long lives without developing the ailments now caused from smoking cigarettes. It's the chemicals and additives that wreck havoc on our bodies. The auto-immune disorders, autism, Alzheimer's, and many other disorders that were unheard of before eating foods loaded with chemicals, preservatives, etc. God doesn't put people on earth just to have them endure suffering. We are all Gods children, correct? What parent wants their child to suffer? Wants them to endure pain for months or years without having medication that can relieve their pain. Depending on what is wrong pain medication may not help. Yes God allowed his only son to endure pain and to suffer at the hands of others, but he didn't allow him to live for months or years on the cross either. That's the difference these people are living for years in agony and pain.
@@tonyahemer5314 You're an idiot.

Toolmybass no need be so rude, I can see both sides
What a beautiful love story! I feel everyone should be able to choose when the time is right to end their own life! There is enough suffering in the world , why would we want to prolong it? Let people choose how to leave this world with dignity!
I am 30 years old and terminally ill with stage iv breast cancer. I watched my aunt and grandmother die of the same disease. It’s not pretty. I’m not saying that I will absolutely choose assisted suicide, but I feel calmer knowing that’s an option available to me. I am single with no children. I love my family, but I could not live in pain, dependent on them for every need, because they could not let me go when I was ready. I’m certainly not saying that this gentleman had no desire to live. Im just saying that every situation is different and it is wrong to assume that everyone would benefit from fighting until the bitter end.
What works for some doesn't work for others. WE ALL SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE, without issue.
The power of love 💖 what an amazing couple you are RIP JJ x
It's sad. But every human has the right to choose . If they are in unbearable pain let them choose.
This brought me in tears. Life is indeed a gift😁
That’s fine for you and your family. The law needs to allow people to die how they want to.
This is beautiful and I'm so happy for the extra time but don't shame others that choose a different path and their reasons why. We humanly put down animals and shame humans.. ridiculous.
I am so sorry for your loss but happy for your gains - two beautiful babies.
I mean no disrespect however I am really torn on assisted suicide.
I watched my sister in the last week of her partner's life. He could not open his eyes, he could not speak, he could not be touched it caused too much pain. She would have done anything to stop his pain, there was nothing that she could do but watch as a breeze caused him to moan in pain.
I was also my sister's health advocate for her, she passed away in June from lung cancer that spread to her brain. I am thankful that the tumors in her brain had stopped her from feeling pain. She was only 51 years old when she passed.
Now I am my mother's health advocate. She has been on dialysis for 3 years. She has only one kidney and it stopped working. I know her time is limited on this earth but in the end if she is in as much pain as my sister's partner then I am not sure that I would be against assisted suicide for her.
Just because a person would choose assisted suicide for a loved one does not in anyway diminish their love.
Just because a person chooses against assisted suicide does not diminish their love either.
This type of thing is very situational and should be based on circumstances.
I hear ya..I was my mother's advocate and she was on dialysis for 5 years and her liver was bad too..she padded 2 yrs ago😢😢
And then my younger brother slowly passed away at 33 of alcohol and passed thus past july.

Happy in what way
Assisted suicide (Right to die) should be everyone's right! Why do we feel it's ok to put or pets out of their misery, but not our loved ones? If I was dying, I wouldn't want my loved ones to watch me suffer til the bitter end, AND THEN be stuck with exorbitant medical bills. It's very selfish to tell your loved one that has a terminal illness that they have to stick it out (and suffer) because YOU want them to. My Mom suffered with Leukemua for 8 years. She suffered immensely, and it killed me to see her that way. Just because you are against it, doesn't mean we all have to be! And don't bring religion into this, because I'm talking fact, NOT fiction!
Fact not fiction. You lost everyone right there. You moron that believe we came from apes.
@Bryan: assisted suicide is what the medical industry doesn't want. Cause they don't earn anything out of it. Giving drugs for several years and the assistance in hospital give money! Money! They don't care about us like Michael Jackson said.
Dave Bander
Thats a very good point...
Michael A How funny that a person that believes in a fairy tale is calling me a moron. That’s rich!
@Ziggybam: In Switzerland, there was a Doctor, Dr.med.Peter Baumann, who showed how easily and without any pain it is possible to pass away (gases like helium, carbo monoxide...). He was charged with false assumptions, put in prison and poisoned cause he died only a short time later on cancer.
The medical industry feared lots of very sick ppl could prefer going this way instead of being treated for years without being cured.
This world is not good to live in.
Rip J. J. Sad but a beautiful story. You are wonderful individual. God bless you your children your family and friends. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
I give you blessings and prayers but I do not agree with your stand on assisted suicide. It's needs to be considered on a case by case basis. There is no "it can hurt others" it should be a human right to die with dignity when one feels they are done. You choose for you and yours but do not take it away from other people. You don't know what they feel and what they are going through just as we don't know how you feel or what you are going through.
I'm glad this family had a joyous experience as their loved one approached death. But there are those of us who have no one, no family left, and we would still like the right to have the release of death in order to relieve our suffering, should that day come. I would never wish MY choice to be forced on anyone, nor do I want their individual choices to be forced onto me.
I lost my husband in 2009 when our kids were little. My heart goes out to you, who knows? Maybe you'll see him again. That's my hope at least 🤗
im going out on my shield. i dont want no assisted suicide
Until you can’t hold in your own fluids and are writhing in agony 24-7. There’s no joy in life if you’re living that way.
Death is not the enemy. You fight the disease and when the disease and pain become unbearable you have a choice. But always remember that
Death guarantees life and they are opposite sides of the same coin.
Every body-form will die
(when we do not know) but love and the memory of a loved one never dies.
Al
Amen
Beautiful couple, just broke my heart🙏🏽💖
Heart breaking and what a beautiful perspective she has .Glad they got that extra time to share making loving memories.
R.I.P
The choice to use or not use assisted suicide is a very personal one. A friend of mine opted for it. He had inoperable cancer, his doctors told him they were out of treatment options and sent him home to die, and he was basically stuck at home, watching really boring TV. He then decided he was going to do the prescription suicide cocktail. He wouldn't tell his friends exactly when he was going to do it, but he knew exactly how he wanted to do it, what wines he wanted to drink after his suicide cocktail, and how he wanted to be memorialized and remembered.
It's not a choice I'd want for myself, but it was his life, and his choice.
Just sending Love and Prayers as I know from experience ~ this holiday season will be a bittersweet one for you... Love is Eternal ~ 💞

Protecting patients rights by taking their right to choose away? Nope.
I’m dying too. This video helps
not everyone who is dying has 24/7 emotional and physical support. if they did, they might want to stick around longer until the natural end of their lives.
I am glad for you.
But some people's suffering is just beyond endurance.
I don't judge you. Your choices were yours. Please respect other people's choices.
It broke my heart and made me smile at the same time you could see the love they shared and fill it in your heart
Glad you had the choice to do things the way you wanted. Everyone should.
Jim Bo Agree. That was my point.
My husband is dying from end stage non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to both lungs, lymph nodes, spine, Right hip and bones in both legs, and the pain is excruciating, even with pain meds. I told him that if he decides to stop treatments, (radiation, chemo & immunotherapy (keytruda) as he has talked to me about, and just the cancer run its course and just let go, that i am at his side. The treatments make him feel worse, causes loss of appetite, weight loss, vomitting, nausea and an INCREASE in pain. If he stops treatments they say he will have 3-7mon, with treatments, maybe a year, possibly more, but who wants to suffer & hurt more like that? No one should have to suffer like this, NO ONE. So no matter what, im here and i support him in whatever he decides.
I think, we should prolong LIFE, when possible, whereas people, who don't want their DEATH to be prolonged, should be given the opportunity.
