riboflavin All-American

she had two young kids (4 and 6) and had recently left her husband because he was a dead beat.

opted against chemo, and any medical intervention, so she died suddenly and now the kids live full time with said dead beat.

very very very sad.

My aunt did a similar thing. Hated chemo, so she stopped and went

That's evil, IMO. Leaving behind children because of your own pride is horrible.

Abandoning your children through selfish behavior is evil.

Not sure what byubyu thinks is hilarious about abandoning children.

I'm laughing with how dramatic you are with every situation.

You must not have kids.

You're trolling in a discussion about dying and leaving kids behind. That's cold

Yet, you defended Josh Powell for months.

Yeah and plenty of others agree with me that it wasn't clear he had murdered

SandYFan

Plenty of others? Who?

There was a thread on it last week. I'll see if I can find the link.

Is it better to put an innocent person in prison, or let a guilty one walk free?

SandYFan

1/21/19 1:12pm

Are you saying Josh was innocent of killing his wife?

GAINZ

1/21/19 1:14pm

No. I asked you a very specific question. Are you going to answer it?

SandYFan

1/21/19 1:17pm

If more guilty people are convicted than innocent, then definitely. Josh murdered his wife and kids. And they had enough

You're smarter than the professionals involved in the case? Okay. Also

Evil? I’m sure he believed he was giving himself the best chance at survival

Paco

He let his pride kill him. He knew more than the doctors.

That's ridiculous. I'm very open to natural/alternative medicines, but why does

Seems selfish initially, but we all have a right to our own body and how we

Not when others depend on you, you don't. Then there are obligations.

so easy to judge others who face trials we have not...

Yeah, it is.

Of course, but we all have different experiences that led up to that

You give up a certain amount of freedom when you have kids who rely on you.

OPINIONS

1/21/19 12:51pm

No. You still have the freedom, you're just a selfish person who doesn't

molodyets

Doesn’t make it better. Just because you have the right to be selfish doesn’t sanctify his action.

Baron

Yes we all have that right but does NOT change the selfishness.

Somewhere people are praising the power of essential oils for helping her live so long instead of dying sooner.
