Having experienced both physical and mental illness, I know firsthand how debilitating and arbitrary they can be. I believe that either on its own should be sufficient for exit.
I am no longer in a place as dark as I used to be, and I am deeply inclined to channel this energy towards the goal I consider to be the most important- eradication of unnecessary suffering. Most immediately, legalizing Euthanasia, the Right to Die peacefully and with Dignity with safeguards to prevent it's exploitation and addressing the other worries that often lead skeptics to dismiss the entire concept.
I have been involved in planning the development of devices to facilitate this, and Europe is turning unfavourably overregulated, so I look upon the upcoming debate in Canada with hope and will be doing everything in my power to make it an accessible option to all who have rationally decided their life to be no longer worth living. Law should encourage the free assertion of one's will and autonomy, and lift such unreasonable restrictions based on outdated morals and notions of suffering and suicide.
I expect to be there soon and contribute to activism and beyond in doing whatever ought to be done in order to achieve recognition of this most noble and desirable right.
Outside of my academic obligations and as much as my cognitive constraints allow, I am actively preparing by studying philosophy, the history of euthanasia laws around the world and how they came to be the way they are in the present, and how the increased integration of psychological and neuroscientific research in law could inform this debate (presumption of free will is what seems to underlie harsh blame and judgment, and quantification of the neural correlates of suffering might help as convincing biological evidence reflecting one's phenomenological reality, at least up to an extent).
I believe that Neuroscience holds the key not only to understanding and eradicating suffering but also to transcending it, potentially unlocking states of tranquility and bliss we can not imagine, and liberating us from these flesh prisons, one way or another. Combined with strategic and truthful application of it to the law--All resistance may stem from ignorance, lack of Empathy, to be defeated by the Truth.
If not, creation of a new charter city or sovereign community with those of us who wish things to be different, but are too scattered and powerless to make change or derive strength from like-minded people.
For those who feel scattered and powerless- let's unite. If we cannot reform the old system, we will build a new one. Since we are here anyway, let's make every living second count!
