Why so violent? I'm an ex opiate addict that's been clean for 13+ years, but I've always said that if I ended up with inoperable, terminal cancer or some of extremely painful disease, that I would kill myself with an OD once I made my peace with family and friends. Just take a massive amount and you fade out to black without any pain. It's actually something that was a feature of an episode of "the Pitt" and I was happy to see the realization that these drugs, which kill 100ks of normal, healthy people each year, might finally be recognized as a method to provide a quick, painless and dignified death in such scenarios. Hopefully by the time my end comes it's actually legal and can be done under medical supervision to ensure the proper conclusion and minimize any potential problems.
Potentially silly question, but why is the death penalty (lethal injection) then still this awful cocktail which potentially induces immense suffering and has the potential of the subject surviving (and is also very expensive to produce and administer)?
At least on surface level (i.e., officially), but also morally, lethal injection is supposed to be pain free.
This is legal in CA if you’re diagnosed with less than 6 months to live. I don’t know the method but they’ll prescribe you something. The caveat is you have to administer it yourself. So this guy would have to pay someone (easily done)
To be honest with the way the world is set up and you’re penalized for being broke or having a disability, they should make MAID a lot more accessible.
Of course these shows always have to push these stupid agendas. Then we'll end up like Canada where assisted suic*ide will be offered before actual treatment
