Girl, 13, wins legal right to die !

It is very sad and tragic when one gives up all hope of living and decide to end one's life. Hannah Jones, from Marden near Hereford,UK, has a hole in her heart meaning it can only pump a fraction of its normal capacity.

She had enough of the medical treatments and spurned a heart transplant . There is nothing the hospital or authorities can do in her case if she decided to let go and die . There is no law to compel her to have a heart transplant . She has a terminal heart condition.

If she chose to reject modern medicine and no amount of persuasions can change her decisions, we can only respect her and hope that she will find the peace and tranquility for the last days of her life.

Do you agree with her decisions ?

She has decided that she will not go for a heart transplant and leave everything to fate. Her parents and many others have expressed their opinions and agreed with her decisions. This is really sad when there are medical solutions to help her to stay alive.

Can a 13 years old have the mental faculty to think what is good for herself? Can she understand the full implications of her decision? Is she mentally able to think what is right or wrong? Should her parents agree with her wish ? She maybe 13 but her maturity belies her age.I as a parent would not accept my children's opinion and she is incapable of making a right decision  at that young age.

Over in this part of the world where I live ,one would try everything possible to live until there is no more alternatives . You do not give up the will to live or survive until you have run out of options . Only those who are too poor who cannot afford those expensive treatment will resigned to their fate. Even if one is poor and if they need financial help , they can always seek donations from the public through the newspapers.

Right or wrong, it is her decision and her parents who accepted her wishes. Our hearts go out for her and we can only pray that she will make the right decisions and hope for divine interventions.

There must be a will to live and to fight against all odds and if there is none ,we will just let life slip away.

Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence. - Lin Yutang:
