But u must remember that the pain you went through after the operation 
was an short term pain and not a long term terminal pain . How can you
even compare your slight pain with terminal  pain that terminal illness go 
through 
Your pain let say might be physical and short term but the pain terminal 
people 
have to suffer is not only physical but also mental trauma that the u and 
the people 
that cared for u would experience . I sorry to say this but it seems that u 
would not
understand the real impact of the Andrew Bill until it happen to u or 
someone you really care for.
