How far are we from the right to die legalization?

[anotherlife]

There has always been talks in modern law about the right to die. Is this implemented recently? Some hospices I heard work with it. But what is you are not geriatric, just have other disabilities, physical or mental? Mentally disabled patients are usually homeless, but many would take advantage of a right to die practice against homelessness. But even if you are not homeless, you may want the right to die. For example a chronic forgetfulness, when you keep losing your wallet, coat, everything, every second day, could fall in the right to die category. How restricted is the right to die law these days? What do you know about it?

AFAIK, three states have right-to-die/assisted suicide laws, and they involve very stringent procedures.

If someone wants to die, what's stopping them? People do it everyday. If someone wants to die, how stringent is the process?

This is about assisted suicide. Many of those who want to die are paralyzed or unable to control their limbs for other reasons. Then there's the question of obtaining the means - drugs, etc. They will need someone else to help them.

There's a really good film, based on a real-life case, called The Sea Inside. It stars Javier Bardem (the killer from No Country for Old Men). It's in Spanish, but with subtitles. Netflix has it, if you're interested. It's not a tear-jerker - in fact parts of it are really funny - and it shows you the issue from all sides, the guy himself, his family, his friends, the film crew that shows up to interview him, etc.

I just want to know why someone can humanly kill themselves but there is no humane way for murderers sentenced to die.
The hypocrisy of the left death worshippers is incredible.

It's about wanting to die. While many may be, not all are. Those don't need someone to help them. For those that want to die and don't have physical limitations to do so, they have no excuse.

Obtaining the means? More excuses huh?

How do you perceive the two to be similar?

The justification used to challenge the death penalty in every state has been the murderer suffers.

For those that want to die and don't have physical limitations to do so, they have no excuse.

Which is why the topic is about those who don't have the physical means. So what are you on about?

Well, then, that's an excellent topic to discuss in the correct forum. This is not that.

 

[koshergrl]

I wish they would call it what it really is..."the right to off those bothersome next of kin that are between you and a nice fat settlement."

No, it is THE topic. Or are you for people to suffer as they kill themselves?

No.

 

[Arianrhod]

No, it is THE topic.

Capital punishment =/= healthcare.

Stalin and Hitler had effective programs for eliminating the imperfect. This is the same.

So people live forever on your planet? Remarkable.

The topic of the OP is about the right to die as a general concept.

And under that general heading there are subheadings. If this one bores you, no one's forcing you to pursue it.

So it should be called "The right to kill people who can't protect themselves".
