Should assistant suicide be allowed for old age ???

[egp320i]

If a pet gets put to sleep, when can I expect my cat to wake up?

? never............it's terminal, as in end of life when your pet is dying or suffering just like people do, but with pets you decide when it's time, as a human YOU should decide when it's time, you should have 100% control over yourself

 

[egp320i]

Quit moving the goal posts. A person who is brain dead can be allowed to die. It happens often.

no shit, family members can decide to pull the plug, that is a bit different than somebody that is not brain dead yet still suffering who asks to have their life cancelled by somebody because they can't physically do it themselves.
that is why it's called "assisted" suicide..........get it?

If they can relay a desire to die, they can do it themselves.

impossible............they are in an ICU dying, who are they going to relay their desire to die? their doctor, nurse? they have a code, they won't do it
so what are their options exactly? just wait it out and suffer?

they can't move but they are going to get up, go find a strong drug and inject themselves.........you realize how stupid and not practical that sounds?

If they can't relay it then you are arguing something completely different.

People are allowed to die every day.

so hospitals just let people die everyday huh?
not sure you understand this issue
nobody allows anybody to die if they can save them but if they are beyond help
that person should have 100% authority to say, don't revive me, let me go

get it?

They most certainly do. Those with cancer are able to determine to deny treatment for themselves even though doctors could extend their lives.

I had a friend with cancer (third time). Doctor prescribed him something for the pain. The doctor told him to not take too many or he would not wake up. He didn't wake up.

 

[Anathema]

I am in favor of euthanasia, but only in situations where the individual has no reasonable chance for a meaningful life. Additionally, while I believe in allowing others to help with the suicide, the act which delivers the fatal blow (injection, shot, etc…) MUST BE initiated by the victim himself/herself.

Allowed
As long as it takes
Gasping and struggling

That doesn't happen. Hyperbole dismissed.

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

Omg why are you up and posting at 547 am ??

omg !! I can’t get up before 830

 

[Mr Natural]

omg !! I can’t get up before 830

Because we have a three hour time difference.

 

[Crepitus]

Let’s say you are aging but not super old !
Let’s say you suffer from low back pain
Let’s say you are terrified about your hire ability due to mediocre business resume and lack of recommendations

Let’s say your religion forbids suicide by yourself

Let’s say you wish you were young again with good back who’s life was about sports

why can’t assistant suicide by an option ??


Oh I was thinking about this poor guy I meet online. He is from New Mexico and around 50

So.. "asking for a friend"?

 

[leftwinger]

We are talking my body my choice.

Except. you take the old mans ScHlong, then get pregnant. It is his body too inside you. just stop. I don't want to get into it.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

what if it's the request of the patient who is in so much pain and misery they want it to end? should they suffer because nobody has the balls to do the job in a humane way?
quietly going into the night vs shooting them in the head.

your life, your body.........your choice when to check if want to and you should 100% be able to do so legally

no different than a vet in a sense when you put your pet to sleep, just keep theology out of it

It is exactly the same as the vet putting an animal down. Except that the government is making the decision largely for the same reasons, inconvenience and cost of treatment.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

You can’t get assistance.

Even a person who is brain dead can’t be euthanized

Terry Schiavo was murdered, quite legally.

how many times did you vote for the ***** grabber

 

[Rocko]

If you have a terminal illness and are suffering, you should be allowed to kill yourself

You pretty much are. My father made a decision to stop dialysis treatment and go into hospice.
