Good for her, I am also trying euthanasie, but the waiting list is long and it is minimal 3 years traject, so it will be very slow and it is not garanted, it can be even longer and the result can be no anyway

3 years wait for euthanasia. What if ur in unbearable pain every second. There's no rational reason why anyone can't buy Nembutal no prescription required like buying a phone, purchase immediate use of a sarco suicide pod, pay someone to shoot me.... but I can't do any of that because they made all those crimes

Well, if someone has cancer or some other illness, the waiting list is shorter, but if it's a mental health issue, it can take many, many years...

The only reason we can't buy Nembutal is because they need slaves, we are slaves, and if we decide we don't want to be slaves and we want to end it, they won't have any more slaves... I wish I could buy Nembutal, but it's not even possible on the dark web, I would pay every penny I have for Nembutal...

Three years seems crazy. It's understandable on the one hand but then, also pretty depressing that it's because it's pressumably in such high demand. So many people queing up to die.

But the worst part is that even 3 years is not a guarantee that you will get euthanasia... if I knew I only had 3 years or less left, I would do anything, but even 3 years are not a guarantee, so I have to try something else, hopefully I will get my SN, follow the protocol and be done with it... I already feel good, I got the package number, just a few more days and I can be free from this shit... if not, I can end up in the hospital and sleep for at least a day... after my last attempt they took me more seriously.

Oh shit. Haven't they assessed you though as being eligible? Why would that change? I imagine in many cases, things will only have worsened. Although, perhaps not with some mental illness. Say if a new treatment came out in that time.

A bit cheeky to ask- ignore it if I'm overstepping but- did they ask for payment to be assessed upfront? I know they do sometines charge for part of the assessment- even if a person is unsuccessful ultimately.

I'm guessing it was more of a- mental illness has a 3 year waiting list- come back then type thing?

Truthfully though- it makes me kind of angry. I'm not in a position to even be considered for assisted suicide. My reasons are more circumstantial. But, if I was really suffering with physical or mental health, it would piss me off, doctors having the say so on whether I was suffering adequately enough. F*ck that!

I don't know, like if I change my mind, I can always say no... and if I change my mind, when I'm dead, I'm dead. But even doctors have to follow the law. I'm glad I live in a country where I can finally get euthanasia, even though it might not be possible now. There's still a chance, but I don't want to wait that long. I wish I could sleep. I have chronic insomnia and it's not getting better. They don't want to give me better medication, or there aren't any, I don't know, but the medication doesn't help me, but I can use it for SN...

You don't have to pay for euthanasia, everything comes from health insurance, so I think it's almost free... but the waiting list is terrible...

I told them all, damn it, but I still need them on my side. They want me to suffer. I believe they can get me out of here if they want, but they also need to make money, and you don't get any money from a dead person. I hate that everything here is about money and that none of my attempts have worked and I'm still here... I'm also so scared of SN. I wish I never had such big psychological problems. that I end up like this in pain, without meditation and with only death as part of my plane... NO ONE deserves this, no one, the worst thing I've experienced is the intermittent insomnia, panic attacks and the idea that I might die soon, but I hope so... because I can't live like this anymore...

The comments people have left on that article are disgusting

I've read that article and it is really frustrating that she hasn't been given the right to die and hopefully her suit will win, even if it does result in even medical professionals taking a 'pause' on the current state of affairs surrounding sentience. It wouldn't surprise me if Canada's MAID expansion was yet delayed a 3rd time, be it next year in 2026 as it was delayed before the 2023 expansion to 2025, and then (no surprise) it was delayed yet again to 2027. The most frustrating part is how these delays continue to happen indefinitely and it looks like they are going to be delaying it indefinitely which means that the lawsuits to challenge these restrictions become the appropriate response to governmental overreach and perpetual denial through deferment (I wrote a thread explaining the issue here).

Last but not least, of course, throughout various news articles even the major news outlets and journals, the dreadful obligatory suicide prevention message and number. It somehow baffles me either that organizations either don't think people don't already know but still put it there automatically (unlikely in my opinion), or they genuinely believe that some unfortunate victim of sentience (people who are suffering and desperate) will just ring up the number or use the resources only to get further harmed through detainment and such. Anyways, I digress, but back on topic. I think if Canada's MAiD program expansion to include those with 'mental illness', it would set a strong precedent in other right to die and assisted suicide organizations, or at least be a major stepping stone towards change.

I'm so envious of people like her. To just be able to choose euthanasia. While the rest of us has to resort to blowing our heads, being mangled by a train or suffocation.

I hope she finds peace.

3 years. Sounds like Belgium.

Very interesting and relatable to see a public figure be so open about being suicidal. I couldn't wait till 2027 though, I'd end it already. And who knows, MaiD will probably keep delaying the mental health exclusion. That's actually frustrating they won't euthanize you if only have a mental-health illness. MaiD should allow anyone who wants to die. MaiD is basically saying mental health is not a medical condition.

I find this interesting. Like she is clearly distressed and wants the pain to end. On the MAID they ask for physicians signature and I hate that because all these doctors do is reject it. Like every psychiatrist and doctor I've seen about my antidepressants will just reject my want for maid so idk how someone can get it

found another article about her & about her case

https://archive.ph/0Zu5c

i love how she describes herself. an "embarrassment of riches" is sometimes how i feel about the more positive aspects of my life. being incurably mentally ill & often times, to be perfectly honest, a total nuisance, makes me feel so undeserving & frankly embarrassed. i've often been told i should feel that way.

this entire section of the article is also. extremely relatable
