Euthenasia from physical suffering: A short documentary

[AcornUnderground]

This is a really interesting video showcasing a woman with tinnitus that chose euthanasia. She was relatively young, 47 with children and totally heartbroken about her position. I think that a good handful of us can relate to her in this terrifying predicament. I don't know how to put this in a spoiler; I tried:

I had watched it. She seemed cornered. Barely little hesitation permitted from the condition but for sure a tragedy. Glad you can relate. It's one kind of profile which is heartbreaking, when you've got everything else going for you, except the essential part, health (not terminal, even more particular for the decision aspect). Sorry dear.

Yes, it's really awful. Thanks for watching it! Children make it so much harder, too. Reminds me of a good few of us here.

This one will interest you @AcornUnderground. Beautiful young (36yo) woman like you, formerly lively, with all it involves.
Moving story, told in a profound and modest way...



The ending gave me the shills. You're understood around us.

This is very sad indeed but ... i am so sick of the beautiful thing being pointed out. What if she was ugly? Would she matter as much?

I'm not beautiful. When I die, I still want people to remember me. Why does beautiful always have to be added to anything about women? Why? Seriously, fucking why? People who are not beautiful still matter, hurt, and feel, and love just as much as anyone else.

Thank you. I watched this. Thank God she had her mother. Thank you for sharing this.❤

@enjolras - Thank you so much for this film. Thank you for your empathy and understanding. Life is an incredible loss, always, and especially when it was beautiful. ❤

I think beauty is noted when it's there and lost. I think her friends and loved ones were just noting that. If she were a handsome; strong man that had lost that due to an illness, they would have said the same thing. ♥ Beauty is an asset that can be lost, same as other assets - charm, wit, intelligence, compassion, happiness, whatever it is.

It seems the debate happening at this other thread (which to be honest I didn't focus on as soon as I stumbled on the polarisation, heated or intolerant). It was a shortcut sorry, cause @AcornUnderground referred there she lost some of it as a consequence of the illness, and it led to realise there are things one takes for granted with transparency until they're gone

The term beautiful doesn't have to define the appearance but can encapsulate inner qualities. In fact, it can also exclude the appearance.

Of course she would matter as much. Don't get me wrong. I'm on your side. I'm grown up and I learned to be impacted at the essence of who people are. To me, it seems even more evident when confronted to death, you're naturally attracted to see through the outer skin, cause the rest is neither defining nor persistant.
I wanted to point you my personal opinion but the search engine is broken, I can't. You'd have been surprised

Take care of yourself
PS: I love nothing more than rebel people !

You're on the opposite side of many of us who have lost all or so much (excluding physical health) in order to consider suicide. Even then, we can have something in common. I'm also apt to see through the darkness and will remember the best moments with gratitude. Yes, life will be a loss for me too, even if I'm more free and in control to decide when. There is a middle ground of similarities, even if our fate differs.
