How do you feel about legal assisted suicide?

[angrymob222]

What do you think the guidelines should be for assisted suicide? Do you think they should be required to try every type of therapy, medication, etc before they are granted access to an assisted suicide? Or do you think they should be allowed to have an assisted suicide for any reason whatsoever even if they don't try treatment?

 

[Lost in a Dream]

I think that alternative solutions should be offered at the most, and anyone who is considering assisted suicide should be encouraged to consider all of the available options before making their final decision. Someone who wants euthanasia might change their mind about it, if there's a chance their problems can be fixed in other ways, but they also might not.

Forcing them to stay alive until they've tried every single alternative would be cruel if none of the other solutions actually helped. It would also be a waste of time if the person trying to get assistance didn't want those alternatives. This is a decision that should be left up to every individual, but knowing they're certain about their decision can't hurt.

It's a human right. No one should be obligated to nothing in theory. Even living.

In my opinion assisted suicide should be available for everybody because everyone should have the right to decide on whether to live or not. And many people have good reasons not to. That doesn't necessarily require any kind of illness

Everyone should have the right to decide when he want´s to die regardless of health status, age and treatment options.

I think you should be able to go into a pharmacy and buy your nembutal without receipt. As long as you are over 18 and you are already in therapy.

I think everyone has the right to go but this will always be stopped by government because you are a work slave.

I also wished I could just go to a doctor and say I wanna die and yes I rethought it and he will give me what I need for that.

I would also fill out forms and sign them so the doc is safe

It should be available for everyone, everywhere. Dying does not even need a reason, a peaceful suicide should be accessible to all and our right to die should be respected. Life is completely meaningless after all, so why force someone to suffer for the sake of it until old age just to die anyway. Living has no purpose, and none of us asked to exist anyway.

No one should be forced to try treatment. In many cases, nothing could ever help and even if there is a potential solution to someones problem then they have no obligation to try it. In my case, the only treatment could be death. Death solves all problems, and for me personally the problem is existence itself. Allowing me the option of assisted suicide would be the best thing possible. A peaceful death is what I deserve.
