나는 수년전부터 안락사,유떠내이저- Euthanasia 에 관헤서 마는 관심을 가지고 이런 야그꺼리가 신문애 나오면 자새히 바왓따. 나도 언잰가는 스위스의 안락사 병원, 존엄과 긍지의 병원 - Dignitas-style clinic에서 마감하려고 셍각헷따. 그건 이런 기사를 보고 정한 건 아니고 입원애서 바든 경험애서 어든 존엄사떼문이다. 인간이 죽는 순간 조금이라도 더 살려고 존엄과 긍지마저 쓰래기 버리 듯 잠시라도 살려고 발버둥치는 모습이 나를 더욱 초라한 인간을 멘든다. 인간이 가야 할 길은 바로 셍노병사다. 그걸 극복하고 긍지를 살린 주금은 안락사다. 

 

아래 안락사를 텍한 할망구는 75새로 주금을 마자서 병원을 전전하는 늘따구를 간호헷던 간호사를 직업으로 살아 온 분. 이 할마이가 30데부터 이런 노년기의 환자를 보면서 느낀 건 늘따구가 자존심마저 버리면서 조금만 더 살려는 헹위를 경험한 후, 자신은 늘그면 빨리 가는 안락사를 텍할 거라고 마음머근 장본인. 이 할망구가 항상 노가리 푼 건 "난 늘지 안아. 늘따구의 인셍은 지루헤"라고.

 

여개서 내가 어든 경험은 바로 나의 모터사이클사고로 뇌를 다처서 주금의 문턱을 왓따리 갓다리할 떼 느낀점과 울 어매가 사망직전 입원헷쓸떼 바든 감정이 그 원인이다. 먼저 어멈이 마지막 사경일 떼 모데학병원 입원, 그 병원은 하루 이틀이면 하직할 분을 엠알아이등 돈이 델만한 치료는 다 헤서 최데한 의료비를 올리는 데만 악용, 진정의 인간의 셍명을 살리려는 테도는 업따. 결국 셍명연장과는 무관, 입원과 치료비만 올리려는 악용. 이것뿐인가? 내가 오토바이 사고로 머리를 다처서도 두달입원으로 거의 완치헷지만 5개월을 강제 입원시켜서 수입을 올리는대만 열중. 이개 말이 대냐고? 

 

돈벌이만 열중, 인간의 불치병이라도 안락사를 반데하는 나라가 한국이다. 안락사가 허용댄 나라는 벨기애, 네덜란드와 스위스이다. 스위스애선 1998년 설립한 안락사의료기관애서 사망한 숫자만도 2천여명. 외국인도 불치병이면 안락사가 허용댄다. 안락사하기전애 가족들이 모여서 아름다운 주금을 추카하는 파티를 나눈 후 주사액으로 주입하면 18분 후애 영면한다고 한다. 어차피 인간은 재벌이든 설역 노숙자이던 가는 날은  피할 수가 업따. 이런 운명은 조물주가 인간애개 네린 헹복한 선물일 것. 한국도 수년내로 안락사가 합법화하여 주금을 마자도 긍지와 존엄을 살려야. 안락사가 허용대면 각처애 성업중인 요양원은 문다다야. 그건 니셍각이고~   

The partner of a healthy nurse who went to a Swiss clinic to die has revealed that she had been planning her 'exit' for years. John Southall revealed that Gill Pharaoh had been talking about ending her life with family and friends for more than 20 years. Miss Pharaoh - who had specialised in nursing the elderly- died on July 21 at an assisted dying clinic called Lifecircle in Basel, becoming one of 250 Britons estimated to have used liberal Swiss suicide laws since 2003. His comments come after leading peer Baroness Finlay of Llandaff reportedly accused Miss Pharaoh's of doing it for publicity.

 HEALTH NURSE WHO KILLED HERSELF IN SWISS CLINIC 'DID IT FOR PUBLICITY' SAYS LEADING PEER

A leading peer has questioned the motives behind the assisted suicide of the healthy nurse. Baroness Finlay of Llandaff reportedly accused Gill Pharaoh of going to the Swiss clinic for the publicity it would generate. Lady Finlay, who has dedicated her career as a physician to improving the care of the terminal ill, compare the 75-year-old's death to a 'opera,' according to The Times.  'There is something strange about somebody who is completely able bodied and perfectly well and a nurse so knows all about drugs, knows where to access drugs, knows all about the different ways to take your life and yet she has chosen to spend all that money and do it that way,' she reportedly told the newspaper. 'It just feels as if it's wanting to ensure there is maximum publicity around it. 'I just wondered if all this was how she was going to leave her mark on the world.'  Baroness Finlay is a practising consultant at Velindre Cancer Hospital, Cardiff, and Professor of Palliative Medicine at Cardiff University, where she was Vice-Dean of the School of Medicine until 2005. From 2006 to 2008 she was President of the Royal Society of Medicine. 

I onLY HAVE A FEW ACHES AND PAINS - BUT I FEEL MY LIFE IS COMPLETE. I'M READY TO DIE....

In her final blog post, titled My Last Word, Gill Pharaoh explained why she chose to end her life – and why she wants euthanasia legalised

During my working life, first as a general nurse and then working in palliative care, I often met people who felt that their life was complete and that they were no longer prepared to fight to stay alive. I also found that people did not tell their family this, in case they were thought to have 'given up'.

 

These were people who had a serious and life-threatening disease. I often felt that they were being urged to 'keep fighting' when in fact they were quite ready to give up. And when, later, families said what a good fight they put up, my instinct was that the patient was fighting to be allowed to let go peacefully. As a nurse, working within the laws of this country, it was not possible to give any advice. on very few occasions I did warn someone about the dangers of overdosing their medication. I tried to do this in such a way that, should they wish to commit suicide, they would be more likely to succeed.

 

I have no belief in any of the gods. I have always suspected that an ideal shelf life for many people is about 70 years. So often, people say that until the age of 70 they always felt very well indeed. After 70 their health began to deteriorate. Obviously there are wonderful men and women who are busy and active and enjoying life well beyond 80 or 90 years of age. They are the fortunate ones and are fewer in number.

Until I was 70 I was very fit and able to fully participate in any activity I wanted to do. I felt I could still be busy and useful and fairly productive. Then I had a severe attack of shingles and it all changed. At 75 I am told I look OK and I take no medication.

However, I feel my life is complete and I am ready to die. My family are well and happy – their lives are full and busy. I can no longer walk the distances I used to enjoy so the happy hours spent exploring the streets of London are just a memory now. I cannot do the garden with the enthusiasm I once had and I find 15 minutes is more than enough time spent weeding or digging. Even that short time can result in a day on the sofa or a visit to the osteopath.

 

My tinnitus is a big distraction. My hearing loss is helped by using hearing aids, but the tinnitus seems to enjoy competition, and seems to increase in volume to meet the increased external noise, so I find it impossible to talk in a group of more than four people, and often have to activate the subtitles on the TV. I do not enjoy the carnivals like Notting Hill or Gay Pride which I once so loved. I do not have any desire to travel any more – there is nowhere I want to visit enough to spend hours in an aeroplane or airport. I have always loved cooking but I find it an effort now and prefer to have a couple of friends for lunch rather than a large late dinner party. Not to mention the hundred and one other minor irritations like being unable to stand for long, carry a heavy shopping bag, run for a bus, remember the names of books I have read, or am reading, or their authors.

 

And I have a number of aches and pains which restrict my pleasure in life generally although none are totally incapacitating. Yes, of course, I am very fortunate that all of these irritations are comparatively trivial. And no, I am not just whinging. Neither am I depressed. Day by day I am enjoying my life. I simply do not want to follow this natural deterioration through to the last stage when I may be requiring a lot of help. I have to take action early on because no one else will be able to take action for me. The thought that I may need help from my children totally appals me.

 

I know many old people expect, and even demand, help from their children, but I think this is a most selfish and unreasonable view. I had children for the personal and selfish reason that I wanted them for the pleasure and joy they bring. I tried to be a good mother because I owed them a happy childhood. I wish I had made a better job of that, but I did my best. I want them to enjoy their middle years without having to worry about me. I do not feel they have any responsibility for me in my old age. In fact, I very strongly do not want them to feel any responsibility for me at all. I see so many of my contemporaries who have restricted lives because of even older relatives, who live far too long, and who themselves have a poor quality of life.

 

Nor would I want a professional carer if it were possible to have one. I have worked with carers, supported and helped to train carers, and even written a book for carers. I have a great admiration for them. They are frequently abused, poorly paid, poorly trained, with no prospects of developing a career, and often that is the only work they can do, and not the job they would have chosen if they were able to choose. Many family members do not feel they can care for their older relatives, and I have every sympathy for them, but we expect poorly paid carers to do the work, and do it well, and find it rewarding. As many do.

 

So, my options are limited. I have had to make my exit while I am in my right mind and capable of doing so without too much assistance, because I am afraid of compromising the people around me whom I love. I have had to do this outside my home, and without telling too many people for the same reason. I have written my goodbyes and tidied my life and hope I have managed to exit as unobtrusively as possible. I have always held a donor card but that will be redundant now. If I could have booked my death quite openly, I could have had a party before I died, in the way that people have done, and continue to do, in Switzerland and other places. In which case, perhaps any of my body parts that could be reused could be collected immediately. I could also be sure that I will never be an old lady blocking beds in a hospital ward. This would save the NHS a fortune.

 

I have had a tremendously lucky life. I have been so lucky with my children: with Caron, who has made me a 'grandmother' to two kittens, and who has shared so many of her friends with me, despite the distance between us. And Mark, who brought me an Australian daughter-in-law and a part-Australian grandson, who have all been a source of joy although so far away. My family seem to have forgiven my many mistakes, and loved me and encouraged me as I finally found my way back to my chosen career in my thirties.

 

I have made some wonderful friends, up to the very last week I have been meeting people, who I already count as friends. I chose work that filled my life, enabled me to pay my way and was immensely rewarding, and again, led me to meet some truly marvellous and exceptional people, and hopefully be of help to them, when help was needed. And when I had long decided I was destined to be on my own, I met John. He has been the love of my life, a tremendous support, right to the very end, and also an absolutely infuriating companion, and he has made me laugh as I never laughed before.

 

I want people to remember me as I am now – a bit worn around the edges and not quite at my peak, but still recognisably me! I hope that people will support, without judgment, my family and my friends, not all of whom know my plans. I know people will have different reactions to my choice, but I would like to think that anyone who has ever cared for me will be happy for me, that I have avoided the kind of old age I have always dreaded and feared.

 

I do not promote this action for anyone who does not want it. I do not want the right to euthanise the mentally ill or physically handicapped. I ask that the lawmakers should listen to, and respect, the views of people like me, and I am not alone in holding this view. We are being ignored by the law, which originates from a god in whom we have no belief, and which is upheld and enforced by people who have no proof of the existence of any god at all and yet still seek to impose their views on everyone else. Morally, ethically and financially this country, and the people who live here, would benefit from the Government re-thinking the whole subject.
