Discussion Have you thought about your ideal death / process of dying if society was much more open to talking about the desire to die?

[curiouscvnt]

And if you could do so, who if anyone would you want at your deathbed (or at moment of death)?
For instance, if a 'right to die' was protected and supported by publicly available resources to plan and execute your peaceful end, and no one in your personal life could legally intervene (except perhaps in some very extraordinary cases), would you take this path? Would you do the paperwork, see the doctors or whatever officials you might need to take advantage, provided that the system was reliable. So something akin to Pegasos but way more accessible (cost-wise, at least).

Yes. I'd much rather go out via assisted suicide. I'd probably still wait till my Dad died first though. I'm not sure whether I'd tell the rest of my family/ friends. As to who to have with me though- that's very tricky. I really don't know. I'd feel bad about subjecting a friend to that. A very generous member here used to offer to accompany people. I thought that was incredibly kind.

Yes, I would ctb via assisted suicide where I can peacefully take a chemical like nembutal to peacefully end my life. I think I would also let my parents know beforehand so that they can get their closure and I'd let them know that I don't agree with their religious bs and how I shouldn't be obligated to live for them. It'd definitely hurt them but a sudden death would hurt them even more and within this current anti suicide world, our suicide has to appear as sudden since we have to ctb in secret

I would like a suicide booth that is 99.999999% reliable to kill me. The technology is there like the sarco but better. The only reason this is illegal Is because they wrote laws to make it illegal and a crime.

That this isn't legal shows we are all slaves and prisoners who don't have the right to move away from extreme suffering nor from unbearable pain

They also made it a crime for anyone to help u with suicide

These things were legal before they wrote the laws to make them illegal

We live in an extreme suicide prohibition state

I won't be affecting anyone by killing myself so it's no one else's business if I do

I don't want to beg others to accept my reasons for my suicide

I don't have to give anybody a reason nor do I want to talk to anyone. I just want to go in a booth and press a few buttons and die to non-existence forever

It'd personally bring me so much relief to be able to die painlessly and never suffer in this cruel, futile existence ever again, my ideal death would be able to die as peacefully as possible in an guaranteed way, I'd always prefer the peace of non-existence over being enslaved in this existence I always saw as a terrible, tragic mistake, to me human existence truly is the most torturous burden, the thought of suffering for so much longer just to be tortured by old age is so horrific to me. It's just so incredibly cruel how humans cannot just choose to be euthanised even know this existence was imposed in the first place, there should be the option to choose when to cease existing in peace with no risks of ending up in a situation of way worse torture but of course unnecessary suffering is seen as something to force and prolong no matter what instead, it's all just so terrible to me, personally I only hope to die in peace, only non-existence is what I see as desirable and can solve what I ultimately see as the true problem which is existence itself.
