All Americans should have access to assisted suicide

[Votto]

Dementia patients should be given a suicide pill in a box that says take this pill if you can't remember what it's for.

But he is a sitting President

Are there not laws against this?

I've got the same cancer that killed my mom. They tell me I'm doing well but just in case I have a few exit strategies in mind. Not going out in terrible pain, despair, and doped up insensibility like she did.

 

[EvilEyeFleegle]

The laws against suicide have always been based on religion, and the idea that a person's life is not really theirs, but Gods. Only God had the right to decide the length of a person's life, so it went. Your suffering was God's will..so suffer~
To me, the most basic right of all is the right to decide what it is you wish to do with your body. It is why I support a woman's right to choose..and why I support legalized suicide.
My body, my choice, is not just for women and not just about abortion.

Bully some young adult and convince her/him that they have nothing to live for and hand them a gun. Sound like a good way to get away with murder?

Unless your intended victim takes the gun and blows your shit away.

One can always go far enough afield and find an abuse or a cobbled up reason for an exception.

Why not just OD on heroine and skip all the technicalities and bureaucracy?

WTF is wrong with you?

My grandmother decided to die. To achieve this she had them stop giving her food, water, and the meds she needed for pain.

She died but it took a week of suffering.

Despite the ugliness in your heart I would not wish this end on you.

My issue is the focus of ending lives.

Democrats love this kind of talk, since they are all about policies that promote depopulation.

Why on earth do you have to declare taking your life a human right when no one can stop you in the first place? Just walk down to any street corner and buy the only affordable thing you can thanks to Joe Biden inflation, which is deadly fentanyl that just came across the border and overdose. Easy Peasy.

Idiocy.

What will happen, is that democrats will promote people to kill themselves off like they are doing with blacks in inner cities as they shoot each other to death, or in New York where there are have been more black abortions than births. They are embracing self genocide.

Imagine if Hitler had convinced the Jews to do this for whatever reason.

I am making no judgements here other than the unhealthy and ghoulish preoccupation with euthanasia, much like Hitler sending the medically unfit to the basements of hospitals to die because they are not productive for the state. But to fail to take into consideration the altered mental status of people to make such momentous decisions, alongside the manipulation by others for them to off themselves from the state because they don't want them around any longer, is beyond mystifying to me.

As a society, should we not instead be focused on the right to life? Again, if people want to off themselves when they get to be an adult, who can stop them? No one can. Or if they want to cut off their genitals and pretend they are another sex when they get older, who can stop them? No one can. But are these healthy things for a society to focus upon and should any of this be offered to children? Hell no!!

They have a right to fight for alternatives.

There's plenty of methods to take yourself out. I don't think we should be discussing them with anyone like OP who is an otherwise healthy emotional trainwreck.

Agreed.

What happened to how wonderful it all is?

Hmm?

Life is full of pain, and if we are unwilling to be exposed to any of that pain, we have no life.

You gotta fight for your life, as despot after despot over the millennia has proven time and again.

For me I've lived a life of danger and adventure and built many things that will outlast me. I loved many women, fought many men and for the most part I have few regrets. Should my cancer win I'll take myself out, but not because of fear and pain, it will be because the part of my life that brings joy is already over.

 

[Mikeoxenormous]

Yes , honor and dignity

But what if it isnt really your time, but the government says it is?

 

[Quasar44]

Dont deny me my GLORY

 

[Mikeoxenormous]

How cruel !!

Why let a man suffer

Dont you live in the desert? Just start walking in one direction away from civilization. If you make it to another town, then i guess it wasnt your time to go.

 

[Mr Natural]

There’s a big difference between living and being alive.

 

[Quasar44]

I dont want to use a gun( might not even work )

I am not into Heroin or Fentyal

Honor, Dignity and Glory

To die when you feel it’s the correct time
A human right

To such a person I would have only one thing to say: So kill yourself. No one’s stopping you.

Why do you people advocate for making someone else a murderer when the suicidal person can just take care care of it themselves? Put it back on them.

As for myself, being a person of faith, I'm confronted with the issue of God deciding when I should go rather than my own selfish self.

Many here would probably argue that they are better off not having to contemplate such things, but I would argue, it is far better to have to contemplate these things than glibly off yourself, something you may regret in the next life or your loved ones may regret in this life.

And, of course, being a person of faith, I revere those who have endured unimaginable pain, such as Christ on the cross and those martyred after him for their faith.

Some things are more important than focusing only on avoiding temporal pain in this life and yourself.

So kill yourself. No one’s stopping you.

Most boards forbid encouraging suicide. You should probably take that down.

That's why it's considered a personal choice by advocates. If you want to needlessly suffer and build up the medical bills for your survivors that's your business.

a) this one doesn’t have that rule as far as I can tell

b) it’s a generic reply to anyone saying suicide should be legal, not targeted. If someone wants to die that badly they should kill themselves, not make someone else their murderer, period.
