But like real question: Why do people ask these type of questions?
So I’ll actually answer since I’ve never shared this even though the post is making a joke.
It’s not really murder I’m sure, but it has stuck with me forever. I took care of my grandmother through the end stages of her cancer as some form of “hospice” care. I was the one that gave her morphine when she needed it and essentially within days of starting it she became more and more zombified and then passed away. It happened within roughly a week. It was only after all that did learn about morphine toxicity in the elderly and realized that even though it helped her with the pain I’m pretty sure I “killed” her. :(
Euthanasia isnt really murder.
I mean if someone has a terminal illness and asked you to give them cyanide and you do, that not really murder.
Sure the law views it differently, but it morally not murder.
Where I live it’s legal. There’s paperwork, a psychological interview of the patient and it must be done by somebody who is allowed to do so. My grandfather went like that. Even though it’s sad, I’m glad he got to go before it became even worse.
Yeah, and it was all “above board” as they say so I’m fine as far as the law goes. Doctor prescribed, followed hospice advice, etc…
Still considering it was the morphine that actually did her in, being the one who gave it to her made me feel responsible for her passing in a way.
I’m sorry for your pain and guilt. If I was in your grandmas position, though, morphine toxicity is how I’d prefer to go.
I think it’s not so nice from the doctor, to not warn you about what’s going to happen. Especially since you were the one carrying it out. I guess as a professional, they should know about the consequences of drugs they prescribe. Unless they’re somewhat incompetent, this may very well have been the intended/welcome/unavoidable outcome. And I think you’d have deserved a heads-up. Idk if that had helped you. But it’s probably hard. Some relatives will not let go. And you can’t refuse palliative care. So maybe the ethical way is to not talk too much after you got to a certain point.
‘If I’m gonna die, at least I wanna be high.’

Seriously tho, the only death that could be better is being high in a puppy pit.
For what it’s worth, if i ever find myself elderly with end stage cancer, I would consider it a kindness to be able to go out painlessly and relatively quickly.
100%. At that point your life is over already. Dose me up on morphine and let me sail away into the void peacefully.
I’m so sorry that happened, truly. Honestly, though, you deserved to have better medical guidance during that time and it really isn’t your fault for not knowing. I think that at that point, though, it was way more important for her to be comfortable above all else. She was lucky to have you there.
I work in palliative care, and if she was in pain and you gave her morphine according to prescription, you did the right thing.
So people with end stage cancer do often deteriorate like that, the morphine is unlikely to have caused her death but it would have definitely made her more comfortable. You did the right thing for your grandma. You didn’t speed up her death, you cared for her through a difficult time. Thank you for being there for them.
If this is playing on your mind get in touch with the hospice/ palliative care team who were involved and talk it through with them. They will be happy to help and won’t mind you calling at all, even if it is a long time since it happened.
Dunno. Maybe it’s genuine curiosity. Maybe they’re farming upvotes and believe that something dramatic like such a question will achieve that.
But to answer the question; almost. I came pretty close to murdering somebody. Not out of rage or anything, but out of desperation. A man was attacking my mother, choking her on her leather necklace. My sister grabbed the chopping axe. I grabbed the metal pipe, but then we just froze.
Oh for fucks sake. You are obviously the psycho here. Who tells a story like that and leaves off whether or not their mom is dead or alive.
Pretty sure if my mom died I’d be too traumatised to talk about it. The whole event already wasn’t exactly a small deal, I’d have been permanently devastated if the worst happened.
Reddit: “Women of Reddit, how do I make you give me sex?”
Females of Reddit, what is the sexistest thing a man ever did while having the sexist sex that you have ever sexed?
(emphasis on the “Females” part becuase: maximum neckbeard cringe)
When incels say “female” I just assume they mean iron man
Yes. But it was completely legal.
Does your mom’s ass count?
Nah I got 2 dads, suck on that.
I can’t. Got lock jaw. Would a handy suffice?
I will murder pretty much any ass tbh
I’m not really sure how it works but I was told I gobbled up my brother as an embryo in the womb. He was yummy.
I had these really annoying ducks near my house and I would shoot at them, but missed a lot. The neighbor’s dog would pop out of the tall grass and LAUGH at me each time. It made me so mad I tried to murder that dog multiple times but he always got away.
If you think those ducks were a pain, you should have gone across to your other neighbor’s house where they just had teeny tiny clay discs flying around.
That looks like it could be entertaining!
I coughed without a mask near an old lady ranting about liberals in a super conservative little town in Texas during COVID.
Well good thing that the virus was a hoax, so the lady was probably fine, amirite?
I mean, I wasn’t sick at the time. When I was, I stayed home. I just did it to terrify her.
It’s good that you stay home when sick, but just FYI, you can have covid without realizing it. Roughly 1 in 5 cases never get symptoms but are still contagious. That’s one of the reasons lockdowns were so effective. We couldn’t just rely on people staying away when they are sick because they might have it without the sickness. Fuck covid
I murdered a housefly today that has been taunting me for three days. Like with my bare hands. It’s the best thing I’ve done all week. I’m taking the rest of the week off.
We have a legend right here.
Nice try, fed
I’ve murdered my soul working at an office
Damn, I got bad grades once and my mom literally murdered me.
Ouch, still hurts this day.
Not lately.
I just murdered a bunch of people. Two people in rapid succession actually. But then I got ran over and was murdered. When I woke up again, I ran to murder the murderer who murdered me but then was murdered by another murderer who murdered my murderer friend.
So I rage quit and turned off Halo.
I murdered a double cheeseburger and fries earlier this week.
