On the first day of the Chinese New Year in 2013, an old man who had been tormented by illness for five years closed his eyes. And this old man is the world champion of table tennis who has won three consecutive championships, and the outstanding table tennis player - Zhuang Zedong.
Zhuang Zedong's talent is particularly high, so after entering the table tennis group, he entered the table tennis team, won the mixed doubles championship in the national internal competition that year, zhuang Zedong entered the national youth table tennis team in 1959, and also participated in the international table tennis competition in Navis, which won the men's singles championship in one fell swoop, and also won the men's team and men's doubles championships with his teammates.
Zhuang Zedong successfully won two more championships in the 27th and 28th World Table Tennis Championships, becoming the first winner of our country's men's table tennis singles triple-consecutive championships, but then our country did not participate in the next two World Table Tennis Championships for some other reasons, without our national team, the Japanese national team won consecutive championships in table tennis.
In 2006, Zhuang Zedong had some symptoms, went to the hospital for examination and found that he had rectal cancer, and went to hospitals in Shanghai, Tokyo and other places for treatment, but unfortunately the condition was still irreparable. After entering the hospital, he left a suicide note to his wife, hoping that he could die with dignity, and after five years of fighting cancer, such a talented professional athlete left forever, and ended his excellent and legendary life.
When people discuss the living conditions of seriously ill or dying patients, "dying with dignity" is often mentioned.
Longevity is an important factor in the happiness of mankind and is also the desire of human beings for generations to come. With the development of medical technology, medicine has brought new troubles to human beings while helping humans get rid of disease troubles, that is, technology can make this person "live forever", regardless of their quality of life.
For a long time, people have one-sidedly understood the sacred mission of medicine to "cure diseases and save people", believing that "rescue" is the mission of medicine, and "giving up" is the failure of medicine. The right to die with dignity is often mentioned. The Right to Die with Dignity movement is a protest against the kind of treatment that purposelessly prolongs death. Advocates of this slogan argue that overtreatment is a grave violation of the dignity of life.
The recently published Lancet Death Value Report notes that millions of people are not only paying for expensive medical bills but also suffering unnecessarily at the end of their lives due to the overemphasis on prolonging life through active treatment. While hospice care has received attention as a profession, more than half of all deaths worldwide still occur without hospice care or pain relief, and too many people die in pain. End-stage overtreatment not only ignores the dignity of the patient and increases the patient's suffering, but also leads to the improper use of medical resources.
In the traditional concept of the mainland, children should do their best to save the lives of the elderly, which is a manifestation of filial piety, and a survey showed that more than 60% of young people will choose to let their families receive a variety of treatment methods at the final stage. So, if it's the last moment of your life, how do you want to leave?
