We are not pro-death. We value freedom, consent and bodily autonomy.

[Zzzzz]

We do not advocate for the murder of anyone. We do not believe in pressuring someone to live or die. We believe a persons life and death are their own and that people are not the property of their families or society. We reject the idea that a person should be coerced or obligated to live a life they never asked for. We understand that the prohibition of self euthanasia ( suicide) means that life in today's society is little more than a form of slavery masquerading as a benevolent gift. We acknowledge the unfortunate fact that life isn't fair or balanced. Undeserved pains and abuses of every kind are quite commonplace. Life has evolved specifically to be this way,but we believe in rising above our lowly origins and creating a more ethical society whose focus is the respect of consent and the reduction of suffering, rather than a focus on servitude and obligation at any cost. We understand that the principles of free thought and bodily autonomy have always been the moral foundation in the fight against all forms of dictatorship, totalitarianism and slavery throughout human history. We believe that suicide is not a tragedy for those who desire it, but rather human suffering and misery are the greater tragedies in life. We believe there are some things worse than death and that death is the end of all pain and suffering for a person. We acknowledge that losing a loved one is always difficult for those who live,but nevertheless is a fundamental part of life .

--Mods feel free to correct me if I've misrepresented any of the principles of this forum. But for what it's worth,these are my personal beliefs regardless.

Well stated. I only wish this were more widely accepted in the world

Is that using the royal "we"?

 

[FuneralCry]

I do wish that we lived in a society where our right to die is respected and then we could exit peacefully when the time is right for us. It is such a cruel and unfair world that we live in and I am horrified by the amount of suffering that exists. All that I want is to end my pointless struggle yet I am trapped in this world as it is so difficult to leave.

i challenge fixthe26 or whoever else is interested in painting this forum as pro-death to find at least 15 posts that incite or goad someone into suicide. posts wishing someone luck do not count.

whereas - 'kys'; 'go die' sort of posts can be found on youtube, instagram, twitter etc by the thousands. yet nobody is rallying those platforms for being pro-death. (of course, if an individual posts a video or picture they may consider 'pro-death', that individual will be censored - but in the comments section it seems anything goes, including directly telling people to kill themselves.)

The only evil ones in this equation are the mainstream press.

There was a case back in 2019 where two members here partnered up and travelled to Scotland to ctb together.

The UK press had a fucking field-day with it, using phrases like 'brainwashed' and the couple being 'egged-on' in real time by other Members.

In reality, SS probably makes more people rethink their initial suicidal ideation.

They'll pretend they didn't see that.

I'm sure this is what the vast majority of people here believe, but the people who need to hear it have their hands over their ears.
