death with dignity

[blue]

I recently became aware that eight US states (and DC) have death with dignity laws allowing for the option to receive prescription medication for a peaceful end of life for terminally ill patients.

What is this medication?

Is there an underground market for it?

Thank you.

Are you terminally ill?

As Dr House from the House series once said: "You can live with dignity, but not die with it." Death is always unpleasant, gross, difficult to look or deal with it.

I'm totally uninformed about US or any other country laws. But what I do know, is that the same people that "Has what it takes" as Dr. Shepard said the series Lost. To deal with the death of its patients, to even forbid a treatment that might save their lives, for judicial causes or other problems, cannot deal with the simple fact that a patient doesn't want to live anymore.

Even though a patient is terminally ill, their job is to provide all the means necessary to preserve that life. Even if it means cause pain to the patient,

I'd assume it'd be N they're talking about? That's what I've seen them use in all the euthanasia clinics, it's considered the gold standard of medications that'll bring on a peaceful death. There is an underground market for N, and I'm sure you can find more information on it by researching on here, but I've not had any personal experience with trying to get ahold of it. All I'll say is be wary of scammers. I've seen a lot of people on here fall victim to false vendors.

That's the reason why the loss of bodily integrity is my greatest fear. I don't understand why society is so death-phobic, and why people want to live so long. As the human body deteriorates with age, I'm not keen on living to a ripe old age and dying a natural death. For one thing, I'd hate to have others make decisions for me. Inflammatory arthritis put me in the shoes of the disabled, and I know what it's like to have to depend on others for my basic needs and wants. Not to mention the increasing prevalence of dementia, when it comes to cognitive decline. After witnessing my paternal grandmother's death in the ICU (that's the only time I've ever seen her), spending my last days hooked up to machines is something I want to avoid at all costs. As such, I'm determined to end life on my own terms. No one is to tell me what I should or should not do.

This.
My greatest fear which is about to come true is losing my physical functions and being dependent on others and simultaneously losing my dignity. Horrible. Rather be dead.

Same here. That is my driving force at this point. As soon as I see a dependence / reliance on some sort of medical care or loss of independence coming - I am out of here. Going down that other path can get really nasty. I have seen the quality of life deteriorate to misery, but the mantra was to say alive at all costs - guess it depends on how you define "alive".
