I'm 99% sure I know my killer is me... eventually as my spine falls apart and suffering massively increases with time. And I'm okay with that so long as it is my choice. When people talk about suicide, I strongly believe in the saying, "no permanent solutions for temporary problems." But I strongly believe in this saying from both perspectives, aka "permanent solutions are your personal choice that I fully respect as an unalienable human right, if you choose, due to permanent problems." Anyone trying to steal such an unalienable human right from another is exceptionally ignorant of the magnitude of potential suffering and is criminally sadistic as far as I'm concerned.
Society deserves more capable system thinkers
That's what I made !complexity@lemmy.world for 😁
Euthanasia for is legal for many terminal conditions that involve extreme suffering in in a few countries now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_euthanasia
What does this mean?
Going off context, I'd guess it's like California's 5150. If you threaten harm on yourself they give you a pair of really cool socks to calm you down.
Ah, I see. I was finding Canadian results but we have medical assistance in dying (MAID) now.
At least Canada is more honest, in that the government wants their citizens to fucking kill themselves rather than pay to help them first.
I recommend you check out Wendigoon's video on the subject. There was some faulty reporting on what actually went on there. The doctors, nurses and the family were not monsters and Hisachi himself was not begging for death. He tried to hold on to life for the sake of his family. It is a very touching story that fell victim to sensationalism because apparently, going through insane radiation sickness wasn't sensational enough.
I'm sorry to hear about your pain. I have chronic pain but I'm very young so I'm not close to this point yet. I understand how hard it is just to function day to day. Good luck man
I also have chronic pain and it's really the worst. Sorry you're saddled with it too. It's interesting how if you say what you just did to "normal people", they'll often react by trying to talk you out of your opinion, but chronic pain sufferers usually just grunt their agreement.
Honestly I can't refute that. Thankfully, euthanisation is legal in some countries (The Netherlands & Switzerland) but many countries need to catch up to it. I'm sorry that you are going through what you are going through, and I hope that you will be able to go on your terms rather than your illness' terms
I think AI will just cure that...if you have the money.
