Discussion Would you already be dead if you had access to euthanasia?

[MeowTheFlemishCat]

Would you have already made the leap if you had access to euthanasia?

 

[Alo97]

y

 

[divinemistress36]

Hell yes

 

[ijustwishtodie]

100% yes. I wouldn't hesitate to die via euthanasia

 

[apearl]

oh absolutely yeah

 

[NearlyIrrelevantCake]

Absolutely, decades ago.

 

[diy-event]

Maybe what would it cost? :) Sometimes do it your-self approaches are much cheaper and responsive when you need it done

 

[L'absent]

I do not know. I prefer the guillotine. It gives me a sense of product warranty just by looking at it.

 

[the deadly wizard]

absolutely, I would be longgg gone

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Most likely not. Idk whether I would have taken the option last year if it was available to me.

External circumstances make me suicidal. Often it calms down quickly.

But it would be nice to have that option upon request.

 

[InTheAbyss]

Yes, I've been trying to get approved for euthanasia for a few years now. Without luck.

 

[OnMyLast Legs]

Yeah, painless and passive I can do. Give me a drink or IV that'll put me to sleep and I'm gone. What's keeping me alive is fear of the methods available to me. I know it's too quick for pain but man, I just can't handle a gun. I want to sit back and let the poison work.

Like your username

 

[greebo6]

Oh , if only...…..

 

[ChaosWandering]

Yes, about 20 years ago.

 

[Tombs_in_your_eyes]

I'm going to say no as I have always had a paralysing fear of death…

I certainly would have put my name on the list so to speak to keep the option open, though.

 

[OnMyLast Legs]

@Tombs_in_your_eyes great name. Great song.

 

[FuneralCry]

I'd be long at peace if I could have the option to painlessly cease existing and never suffer ever again and the fact that I cannot have such just feels so cruel to me, the absence of painless ways to free myself from the terrible, torturous burden of human existence is so horrible as I'd never wish for existence, I find it deeply undesirable to be enslaved in this existence where there is no limit as to how much agony one can feel just to be tortured by old age if one suffers for that long.

To me existence is just meaningless, pointless suffering all for the sake of it and I'd never wish for any of this, I see existence as an abomination, existence just feels like a terrible mistake to me, under no circumstances would I wish to be burdened with this existence and it would gave saved me from so much unnecessary suffering if I was able to cease existing sooner. But really I never should have been forced into this existence at all, more than anything I wish this existence that only ever caused me to suffer so unnecessarily was never imposed.

 

[nanosci96]

yes 100%

 

[SoulCage]

Yes...

I am so sad that it will never be a possibility for me and that I will have to die in pain.

 

[HarryCobean]

Unlikely. If I'm too much of a coward to do it myself (which I am), I'd be too much of a coward to do it that way too.

 

[Tombs_in_your_eyes]

@Tombs_in_your_eyes great name. Great song.

Thank you! Another Joni Mitchell fan? She's the best

 

[OnMyLast Legs]

She's the best

Really, there's nothing like Blue, Court and Spark, and The Hissing of Summer Lawns. Just masterpieces.

 

[dragonofenvy]

Yes, this should be an option for everyone. Not letting them suffer needlessly.

 

[MatrixPrisoner]

100%, Especially if I could go under anesthesia beforehand.

 

[Tombs_in_your_eyes]

Really, there's nothing like Blue, Court and Spark, and The Hissing of Summer Lawns. Just masterpieces.

Agree 100%. (And Hejira!) She was in a league of her own.

It's from a fairly middling album of hers, but the lyrics of Come in From The Cold encapsulate my suicidality almost perfectly.

 

[Wendigo]

Yes.
I would go right now the hospital with no hesitation whatsoever, Raise my middle finger and smile, fuck you life.

 

[dontwakemeup]

Absolutely! Once approved, I would do it immediately! I wouldn't wait or say goodbye to anyone. I imagine it would be the happiest day of my life!!

 

[opheliaoveragain]

absolutely. if I don't end up punching my ticket soon myself, I'd hope for this.

 

[archaicrevival725]

Yes
