Drugged off the massive shot of morphine, it wasn 't even voluntary, but how else do you ease her torment. Cheekbones bulged out of normal due to the hollowness off the side of her face; her lungs were brimming with cancerous liquids, which resulted in tubes running out of her meager nostrils. Her legs were enlarged and their pigment was discolored from the malnourishment of the past days along with the liver that hastily decided to abandon its sole purpose as an organ, simply adding to her tormented self-destructing figure. You’d assume that by injecting the pain reliever it will help her; however, on the contrary, her wheezing …show more content…
Not the suicidal aspect of it, nor the Grim Reaper form of death, just dying as it is in general. Nearly every night I would sleep on my pillow of tears with a fully loaded army of morbid thoughts bombarding my bedtime as a child. Thoughts that one day I would no longer see the sunrise anew, I will stop breathing this air, no longer walk the streets in this world, and people will forget who I was, unless I made it into the history textbooks at school. The notion that my days alive will end and the hourglass will let down the last grains of sand to my life. I would spend my days being cautiously inside and do my best in avoiding dangerous activities like touching the ocean water at the beach or letting the sun contact my skin for too long, I was essentially paranoid of …show more content…
But how do you overcome this fear of death? It is impossible to face death so that is out of the question. Encountering a near death experience sounds like it would only make matters worse. Encourage myself to die; chances are I wouldn 't live to see the results. Being around death to get use to it, seems defective already. The solution of getting rid my fear seemed scarce, basically impossible. I have never had anyone in my existing life pass away and without delay would wish in every coin tossed into the fountain to avoid that from happening.

    Barbara Mancini handing morphine to her father for him to end his suffering and terminating his life, was a decision she shouldn’t have taken. Regardless of the fact that her father was 93 years old and that the doctors gave him a life expectancy of fewer than six months. In the euthanasia issue I take a natural law theory perspective. I believe that if a person is “dying and further therapeutic interventions are likely to be futile, in that they cause more harm than benefit, then it is morally acceptable to withhold that treatment”.…

    In the “Apology” Socrates is on trial for crimes he has not committed. Socrates ultimately does not fear death because of his innocence, he believes that death is not feared because it may be one of the greatest blessings of the soul. For a person such as Socrates that has lived virtuously there no reason for them to fear death. Socrates makes the argument that one should not fear death because only the gods know what is beyond death,because death could be a blessing. According to Socrates, “I had at the risk of death, like anyone else, remained at my post where those you had elected to command had ordered me, and then, when the god ordered me, as I thought and believed, to live the life as a philosopher, to examine myself and others,…

    As we know, the state of the soul and living a harmonious and virtuous life is far more important than the physical life. Thus, to fear death is a guilty plea to living an ignorant and unjust life. There are two outcomes to death: positive transition and positive transformation of the soul. The soul can be in eternal rest or migrate to a better place. Contrary to belief, death is not an end but the beginning of an undisturbed rest.…
