2018-07-31 "I have to make a decision to "kill" my father" [長年日記]

My father has drunk appetite since May, and In July, he had the utmost to drink a cup of nutritional supplement in a day.

After that, I was shocked, looking at my father forced the helper to eat porridge.

When I told my sister about the situation, she said "Most of the care of the world is like that".I remember being more shocked.

-----

My father was unable to consume food in July and was hospitalized. However in late July, the hospital called me,

"Your father has begun to suffer not only for meals, water, but also for infusions"

I said persistently to my doctor when my father was hospitalized.

"I want you to stop all medical practices that are painful even if my father has a pain of 1 mm or there is a risk of suffering"

Still, the hospital has asked me for the final judgment.

I answered on the spot.

"Please stop drip, not only water and meals "

After that my sister backed my decision but my family seemed to be surprised.

"Does that mean "that" ?"

"That's right"

-----

My father does not reveal his intention about his last term, and said "I will leave everything to my son(Tomoichi Ebata)"

In a sense, this may be called "cowardice" behavior that entrusts the decision of life to others.

However, my father thought that he had the trust that "if I (Tomoichi Ebata) do, I am able to execute the optimal strategy according to the situation"

-----

And I think that this father's words means that I will think

"When I (Tomoichi Ebata) comes to the same situation as my father, what will I (Tomoichi Ebata)want ?"

my father orders me that

""Do not be influenced by the opinions of the surroundings, do your wishes with your will (of Tomoichi Ebata)."

-----

Neither "sick", "law", "institution" nor "doctor" can make my father "easy", in this social system, what I can do as his son, are

"Even though I will keep my consciousness of "father killer" guilty for the rest of my life,"

"I have to make a decision to "kill" my father"

-----

This is the answer I derived.
