>No, a doctors purpose is to make money for himself so that he can pay off his student loans and buy a big car/house/boat.
No, that's what a job is for, not a doctor. A doctor exists to protect life. Jobs exist to generate income for the worker and labor for the industry.
>When was the last time you heard about a 'drs strike' because the system was fraudulent and immoral? You wake me up when you hear of one, OK.
I'd love to see it, if only a whole lot of people's very lives didn't depend on their skill and knowledge in order to survive illness to recover from injuries. A lack of physicians is not an inconvenience, it is a deadly idea that anyone who thinks for half a second would dismiss as being not worth the risk.
>Torturing animals wrong
<Torturing people correct
Last time I checked, cutting an animal up while they're alive and conscious is torture, while doctors trying to keep a man alive because otherwise they'd lose their jobs and licenses, are two different things. Not to mention the fact that, once again, animals and humans are not a 1:1 comparison by any stretch of the imagination.
>No, it doesn't it becomes his choice solely…just as it becomes his choice to live as well
If that was the case, than we wouldn't have the concept of "assisted suicide." If I hand a known, convicted murderer a handgun and he kills somebody, I enabled the behavior, making me responsible. The same thing applies here by supplying the means to kill oneself, you are actively aiding in his death, making it your fault.
> Are you your brother's keeper?
Knowingly aiding in the death of somebody is not loving, which is the ultimate virtue.
>You brother (in this case YOUR ELDER) doesn't need a keeper, he is not an infant, he is responsible to God for his own behavior, as are you.
He clearly does if he is at a hospital, for starters. Secondly, he is responsible for his behavior, but it would be wrong for someone to allow an elderly person to kill themselves just like it'd be wrong to allow someone to harm themselves with self-mutilation or drug abuse.
>You don't get to watch from a distance while they suffer just so that you can feel good about yourself.
I've not once brought my own contentment into this. I don't enjoy watching people suffer, but I'm also not going to kill them or let them kill themselves and go to a place of infinitely worse punishment just because they or myself don't want to experience this current pain.
>Or even a fraction of it in any capacity whatsoever, it is their life, not yours.
And everyone's life ultimately belongs to The Lord, whom dictated that suicide is self-murder and a very grave sin. The creator and ruler of all creation has already spoken on this, and if you disagree with God on this, you need to ask yourself if it is better to allow your brother to condemn himself to eternal Hellfire or to suffer a little more in this life and be rewarded in the hereafter? Suffering does not occur for no reason, ever. Everything happens as a direct result of something else, and God, whom made the murder of the most innocent man to ever live into the greatest good ever seen, can make this man's suffering edifying for himself and others too.
