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.
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.
For serious. The story of Hisashi Ouchi should be enough to convince anyone with an ounce of heart that assisted suicide needs to be a human right. Kept alive for 83 days when he was begging to be put down while he was conscious. His cells literally did not have any more valid DNA. He was a dead man being kept alive, because his family refused to allow the doctors to pull the plug.
Insane, inhuman torture because your own family cannot let you go... Such absolute selfish insanity from them.
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've seen several videos on it and most said he did. Not at first. Later, when he was near comatose.
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
don't say any of that to anyone in person. you might get section 12'd
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
Society deserves more capable system thinkers
That's what I made !complexity@lemmy.world for 😁
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 think AI will just cure that...if you have the money.
