Better to die painlessly....

A survey of more than 500 people here has found that they value being able to die at home more than an extra year of life. But right at the top of their list is being free from pain, the findings of a survey by the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School and Lien Centre for Palliative Care showed.

They were willing to pay $24,000 a year to relieve severe pain, but only $9,100 to prolong life for another 12 months. In presenting the findings at a Lien Centre for Palliative Care conference on Wednesday, Dr Chetna Malhotra, an assistant professor at the centre, said what people value has implications on where government subsidies should go.

She asked: "Does it make sense for the Government to pay for expensive therapies to extend life?"

Based on the findings, she said "subsidies for end-of-life treatments may not be a good use of scarce resources". "Pain management is at least as critical as prospects for extending life when deciding treatment options."

Most of the time you cannot decide if you can die painlessly or not.

If you use medication, the pain relief is short. You ended up even more painful.

Only people who have peace in their hearts know how to achieve pain relief even at the most serious circumstances.

I totally agreed with this very profound philosophy. Those terminal patients I believe are in perpetual pain which is temporarily relieved by pain-killers and morphine. If there is no peace in their hearts and no acceptance, the pain will be terrible despite medications.Thank you.

Any of you consider going out in a bang? I have this thought that I don't really want to die alone and walk down the valley of death. So was thinking b4 I go will fill my whole house with gas cylinders. then around 8pm when everybody is at home will explode the cylinders and blow up that pegion hole hopefully will bring the whole block down. Hence will kill some of the people in my block and have them chased after me while instead of walking down will be running down the valley of death hehe :P Joking

I don't know how true is this. I was in Japan when my friends told me about this " Group Suicide" - even among strangers. This is scary. They will just meet somewhere and then they just do it. I hope we don't have this happening here.

So Bro Sickpuppy, not a good idea to broadcast this.

This is a very disturbing trend in Japan.....But this contemplation to take one's life is not far from the terrible pain of terminal illnesses.....Here is a short report on this very disturbing trend in Japan....

On the high-energy streets of Tokyo, bristling with so much life, a troubled teenager named Yoko says she constantly
thinks of taking her own life.

"I want to die," the 17-year-old said.

And if she decides to go through with it, she'll have plenty of company. Japanese Web sites offer countless invitations to join in group suicides.

It's become one of Japan's most morbid trends -- total strangers making meticulous arrangements online to kill themselves en masse. The group suicides usually take place inside sealed cars, where people burn charcoal so that they will die of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Recently, seven people in Saitama, six in Kanagawa and four in Hokkaido have taken their own lives in this way.

Ritual suicides have long been part of Japanese culture, often considered the honorable way out of failure. A best-selling book even offers advice on various methods. But counselors at Japan's few help lines are worried that the suicide Web sites are accelerating the trend by literally pushing people over the edge.

On one of the suicide websites, an 18-year-old man wrote: "I'm looking for someone who can die with me. This is my decision to die. I would appreciate if somebody joins me with a car."

Journalist Tatsuya Shibuyi says the anonymity of the Web is tailor made for troubled people in Japan.

Most Japanese, according to Shibuyi, even when suicidal, are too embarrassed to talk face to face about personal problems -- so when they find other lonely people wanting to die, a group mentality takes control. For many, it's then scarier to back out than it is to follow through.

Yoko did find a suicide companion on the Internet, but has backed away for the moment. She is seeing a psychiatrist, taking medication and trying to stay away from the suicide sites.....

It's true uncle , because they don't want to die alone .. If mass suicide then can encourage one another to make the first move to die ... You need courage to die too .

Reverend Sir,the video is terrifying. I will have nightmares. It's gruesome,macabre and grisly death. OMG!

I hope this morbid trend will not spread....It already has - in different forms. Our society has come to a stage when death is Martyrdom and Peace. Very sad indeed. I pray for those who died in such a manner.
