Mercy Killing

[Mbu]

...dah! hii nayo imekaaje? ni mapenzi haya pia?

A widow aged 69 who tried to murder her deaf, blind and bedridden mother in a mercy killing wept yesterday when she was given a suspended prison sentence.

Isobel Delamare, for the prosecution, told the hearing that on Sunday, 27 May, Marshall, one of four daughters, had crushed 45 sleeping tablets into her mother's food and drink and then given it to her.

Mrs Maxwell became unconscious but survived. Marshall told police later: "I just wanted her to sleep and be out of her misery. I'm not sorry. The only thing I am sorry about is that it didn't work."

Piers Reed, for the defence, said Marshall had watched her second husband die a "protracted and painful death" from cancer and could no longer bear to watch her mother suffer. He said the attempt "was not done through malice, it was done through love".

...your Opinions should based on a scenario whereby, you have to choose between switching off life support machine of your terminally ill loved one, or watch his/her prolonged suffering!

...mnh, ni kweli Nkamangi, lakini maishani jitahidi kuwa open minded.

...huenda yasikukute Indirectly, lakini yaweza kukuta ukiwa member of Jury, au mshauri wa familia.

Kuuwa ni kuuwa tu, hakuna hoja wala sababu itakayoweza kutosheleza kuhalalisha sababu za mauaji. ni vizuri tukasubiri muda wake mtu ufike kwa kudra za Allah aliyemuumba mja wake.
tusitafute kisingizio cha senario wala sababu nyingineyo yoyote ile.

Ka' Mchongoma hao wazungu wamepinda

Hakika nikusubiri tu kudra ya Mwenyezi Mungu kwani kila mtu ana saa na dakika alompangia Mwenyezi Mungu .. hata hivyo huwezi kukata tamaa .. kwani tunasisitizwa kuwa na subra kwa imani ya kiislam .. maana huenda Mungu akaleta faraja na mgonjwa akanyanyukia .. kwani rehma zote ni zake Mola.

Kwa waumini wa diini ya kiislam, kuna dua mtu husomewa akiwa katika hali yakuendelea mda mrefu kuwa kwenye sakaral maut .. yani hali ya kukaribia umauti .. wengine huchukua masaa na wengine hadi masiku na masiku .. tunashauriwa kumlilia tu Mwenyezi Mungu na si vinginevyo .. dua hii huwa inaweza kumsaidia mhusika akapata umauti ama inaweza isiwe makbul .. ila yote ni kwa rehma ya Mwenyezi Mungu.

Mwenye haki ya kutoa uhai ni Mungu pekee .. hata Malaika Israel hutekeleza tu amri ya mwenyezi Mungu.

Ariel Sharon still brain dead

Doctors at the Sheba Medical Center in central Israel on Sunday said there has been no change in the condition of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who has been in a coma since suffering a major stroke nearly two years ago.

After meeting with medical staff, former Sharon aide and close family friend Raanan Gissin told reporters that doctors have been unable to detect any brain wave activity in the fallen leader. Nevertheless, Gissin said the Sharon family refuses to have him disconnected from a feeding tube and respirator in hopes that he will still make a full recovery.

In addition to the machines keeping him alive, Sharon has undergone three brain operations, abdominal surgery and three minor surgical procedures to stabilize his condition.

...naona Jews nao wana msimamo kama huo, maana mwaka wa tatu huu, haijulikani kama huyu Babu 'alishakufa', au bado anaendelea kuishi kwa mashine.

Mimi naona ni sawa, kama unampenda mtu kwanini umwache ateseke? Bora umsaidia kuondoa maumivu. Tatizo binadamu tunafikiri kifo is the worst thing that can happen to someone, but its not.

Sasa kama unampenda ndio ukatishe maisha yake? That will be the strange way to show your love!

...have your 'hankies' ready...

"No human being has ever survived such severe injuries," they told them. "Your daughter will be dead in two hours - and the best thing is to switch off the life support."

But her mum and dad refused. A quarter of their 18-year-old daughter's brain had died and she had lost all the skin on her right side after a horrific car crash.

But Lynda and Tristan had already decided that Shahna was going to live, even if that meant her being in a vegetative state and having a life-long dependency on them.

...wow! ...that is love!!!

Shahna had been thrown from a car as it somersaulted at 90mph on the way back from Glastonbury Festival in 1997. The driver and another passenger died.

A quarter of Shahna's brain was irreparably damaged and the rest was swelling so violently that surgeons considered slicing open her skull. But Shahna clung to life. Her parents and brother Eliot, then 15, took it in turns to maintain a vigil at her bedside through the 23 long days she spent in a coma.

"I kissed her and told her, 'We're here now. Everything will be OK. As soon as you're ready, just say hello to us.'"

Five days later, doctors told her parents the machines were only prolonging the inevitable - it was time to let go. Mum Lynda says: "They asked us several times. They said the swelling in her brain was so severe she could never survive it. But we weren't ready to give up. Thank God we didn't."

...🙁🙁🙁

Tristan, a barrister's clerk, adds: "Somehow Shahna hung on in there. On the 23rd day, I tickled her under the nose and she twitched. Even now when I think about it, it makes me wobbly." Lynda says: "It was a week later before we saw any more signs of life as doctors slowly withdrew the sedation and helped her breath on her own again.

"When she opened her good eye for the first time, another week later, she didn't recognise us or know what was going on. After a few weeks she could point to signs to tell us what she wanted. It was only when she got home months later that she started to speak.

"I remember her first words were 'too tight' about some leggings we were putting on her. That was a big moment because we didn't think she would ever talk again. Then we started working with her every night, teaching her words and getting her brain going by playing simple games."

...that's the power of love!

...tatizo ni kwa wale terminally ill patients, wa magonjwa ya moyo na saratani.
Wahenga wanasema; 'aisifiaye mvua imemnyeshea!' myasikie hivyo hivyo magonjwa hayo.

Naamini inauma sana kumuona umpendae akifa katika mateso na taabu za mda mrefu but it pains more kumtanguliza usikokujua!!

Kuna point maisha yanaisha, inakua ni existence tu.
Kama huyo Sharon, unaweza kweli kusema anaishi huyo? mtu ambaye hana brain activity yoyote na ambaye machine ndo inapumua kwa niaba yake? hata kwa ambao wanaamini hadi achukuliwe na Mungu, kumweka mtu kwenye machine sio sawa na kuingilia kazi ya mungu?

...Calnde, unaonaje hiyo sentensi yako ikisomeka;

Naamini inauma sana kumuona umpendae katika mateso na taabu za mda mrefu but it pains more kumtanguliza usikokujua!!

...well, so long as nasi ipo siku LAZIMA tutamfuata huko tusikokujua, kuna ubaya gani yeye akitangulia, badala ya kumuacha anateseka na mateso ya hapa tunapopang'ang'ania?

Mbu, kila mara nikisoma hii dilemma nasita namna ya kutoa maoni. Kuna siku moja nilipata maoni ambayo natumaini yangelifaa lakini mambo yakaingiliana na kuishia kufanya jambo jingine. Nitaendelea kuvizia vizia kwa kuisoma na kuikumbuka, nikiwa na uhakika kuwa kuna siku points zitamiminika na kuweza kui-tackle ipasavyo. Akhsante.
