I'm gonna be honest, this was actually pretty funny when I saw this, I saw what I believe to be an injustice and I Made a decision to let my thoughts be heard, despite what anyone else thought, I all wanted to do was express Political views that I believe to be ethically and morally right. I know that there may not have been a chance, but Overall I'm not sorry for what I said, and I still hold on to the belief that alfie truly deserved better than this. I'm Probably gonna get a lot of flak for this, (probably not as much as I have already gotten though lmao) to Understand how I feel about this, I suppose you really have to have been raised in a totally different culture or be Lacking in real understanding about people's points of view. I just really, really hate it when children die. It's Absolutely horrible, and I suppose this was just a way of venting some of this pent of grief from all of these bad, Rage inducing news articles coming out, especially in recent years. It just seems that society is getting way to Normalized to tragedies like this. I understand that the world is horrible but we don't have to just deal with it. Obviously, not all problems can be solved, but I'm hoping that more research is put into alfie's disease, but Whatever, I think you get my message.

We're all sad the kid died, Benji, but I'd rather he be put to sleep gently than die with convulsions, extreme pain, and who knows what else. He was already in a vegetative state if I recall correctly, that's horrible enough. All they could do in Italy is nothing but palliate the pain a bit until he died. We get a bit normalized to it because, well, as I said I'm happy they decided to end his suffering in a painless and calm way, decent, rather than see him die with the horrible symptoms of said disease. As I said, my grandfather had Parkinson's, and even if it's one of the most forgiving diseases when it comes to neurodegeneration, it's still the same: It never gets better, all you can do is slow it down and pray for the symptoms not to be horrible. Think about it this way: If the brain fails, the whole body fails, since it's our "CPU". When the CPU on a PC starts failing it causes errors all over until the PC finally ends up, well dying. The same happens to us. When our brain fails due to neurodegenerative diseases, we start failing until we die. Sometimes it's something bearable and sort of... Well, possible to live with. Sometimes, it's rather gore-ish like certain rare diseases. And sometimes the person just... Starts disappearing slowly, like the case of Alzheimer's, which is one of the worst neurodegenerative diseases out there because even if there's no real pain and such, it destroys a family slowly when you get to see the person you loved, be it your mother or father or husband/wife or even son/daughter literally forget about your existence only to feel horribly sad if you remind them about who you are and why they forgot about you.

I'm not saying we should end the lives of these people... Regardless of how sad it is you can live with Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. But this kid... He was already on the verge of brain death, which is what we consider actual death. Yes, true, everyone dies when brain-death happens, but in this case what was failing to lead to brain-death wasn't his guts or his heart or just being too old, it was his brain, which means it will bring issues like I listed above. I'm sad he's dead, of course, we all are, but partly I'm happy he was put to rest before he suffered any of those extremely horrible symptoms which were going to happen. Sadly, that's all we know about some diseases: What will happen to you (symptoms and others). With some luck, in the future we will have ways to combat this, but not nowadays. Until that day comes, all we can do is ensure these people die in the best conditions and suffer the least, until we find a cure. Just, regretfully, nothing we can do against them yet.
