How much would you pay for assisted suicide?

[mjosjueiowl]

As I can see the Swiss vad companies are working in a classical cartel business model... keeping the prices in the same, extremely overpriced range.
I wonder what price the members of this website would consider acceptable, reasonable for such services?

It's not just that they function as a cartel, but also that they have very strict inclusion requirements, and require multiple visits for assessment, especially if you come from abroad. Also, there is NO guarantee a psychiatrist will prescribe you pentobarbital especially in cases of existential suffering.

My acceptable max price in current legislation is 2000$. RIght now assisted suicide prices are sky high because many people are desperate to CTB, and most countries made it illegal to assist suicide. But it's not morally right to charge a group that is desperate and broken this much. In my opinion assisted suicide should be made legal worldwide and people should be able to CTB on costs of the government.

Yeah the swiss clinics charge a lot of money around ten thousand euros. For people in rich countries it is manageable.

I would say one or two thousand dollars is a reasonable figure and affordable for most people whatever country they are travelling from.

all my f**** money

 

[Hope:-)]

All I have.

 

[Neneko Izumozaki]

Of course, I really want it to be free. However, in countries with very strict laws, including Japan, importing N is too risky.
In Japan, if you fail, you will be completely killed socially. In fact, my friend was arrested for failing to import N and lost his job. He was sentenced to two years in prison and in shock he hanged himself to death.

So if mentally ill people can be legally euthanized, I would pay $50,000.

[Sick of it all]

I'd pay whatever it took. Assisted would be an amazing way to go. Too bad it's not available for us.

 

[Mashedout]

$100,000, I don't give 2 shits about the money. I'd pay anyone legally or illegally to peform this service on me without question. Only problem is trusting someone to not scam. If I could figure that part out somehow I wouldn't even be typing right now.

 

[WorthlessTrash]

I'd sell my entire yugioh collection and all of my belongings just to be put down. I want out THAT BADLY.

 

[JayLa16]

Everything I have.

 

[Foresight]

I'm from the US, so my idea of normal healthcare costs are brutally skewed. I think $5-12k is expected. I wouldn't expect less than $5k. Honestly, I think $1k+ range with vet N is a fine alternative. I wouldn't want a stranger near me when I die.

 

[FuneralCry]

I also would pay everything I had. If I won the lottery all that I would want to spend the money on is a way to die. Assisted suicide sounds ideal as there is no method research and worrying about the method failing. It should be an option for everyone.

 

[Cryptonite]

Why not die alone, in the comfort of your home? Both N and SN are quite easily accessible for a fraction of the price.

Is there an active N source?

 

[cluckcluckgoose]

Michael Jackson was supposedly paying Dr. Conrad Murray approximately $150,000 per month to keep him asleep with drugs like propofol... If only I had enough money to have doctors come to my home and administer potentially lethal drugs to me! I would give them everything I have, and I would even sign paperwork, relieving the doctor of legal action...

 

[Mixo]

This is an interesting practical question. In an ideal world, then it should be a progressive fee based on your income level. I imagine that the vast majority of people would prefer to spend $2,000-$5,000 or less for the arrangement, but knowing how access to specialized medical attention is stratified almost solely by class level, I imagine that those who are financially well off will continue to be the only ones able to attain death with dignity perhaps indefinitely. One key reason is that those who can afford to pay huge fees or assisted suicide are more likely to have the premier doctors who would be open to providing documentation that their case is, indeed, "terminal" or "incurable" i.e. they have access to better healthcare, anyway. In countries like the U.S. where healthcare is privatized, this is significant.

 

[Euthanza]

N is not that expensive, it's CAPITALISM that makes the price unaffordable for common people. It reminds me the story of Martin Shkreli who increased the price of HIV drugs 55x than it's original; I don't know who increased the price of Nembutal but they said it's because the company who hold the patent license stopped export to USA, such a conspiracy, those NPC crab-mentality-preventors probably should be held accountable too.

As for the consultation service, it should NOT be more than $100 for assisted suicide, because the decision is not made by doctors or authorities; Unless it's euthanasia (which requires injection by professional) then it should be free because the cost must be covered by goverment, it must be better treatment than what death row inmates deserve; No need for police/guards presence and there's no jail time service.

Euthanasia for domestic pets like dogs and cats in Indonesia cost can't be more than $70, so for human 10x (700$) is still fair.

D is not active at the moment?

Not in any sense that I'd call 'easily accessible'

 

[symphony]

Everything I own. I don't owe anything to anyone so it doesn't matter a bit to me what of my belongings is left after I'm gone.

Last time I heard about him he charged around 1000 $ for a bottle, which is indeed quite costly. But then there is SN, it is possible to get the whole recommended setup for 150 USD or less.

It's a shame that dying peacefully is easier for the wealthy though.

 

[LaVieEnRose]

Sure if you can do it openly. But part of the appeal of assisted death is to be able to it openly and not hiding in the shadows, in the presence of loved ones.

I'm not talking about the cost, I'm talking about the fact that his shipments haven't been getting through for several months. And that he changed his email and the new one hasn't been provided here yet.

 

[FrozenMango]

Nothing. I REFUSE to fill out forms, applications, and assessments. The requirements and waiting periods are not acceptable

 

[ReadyToLeave]

All I had. I have no one to pass things along to anyway.

 

[freedompass]

Are you offering?
I would pay all the money in my bank account coz why not. It's not a lot but even if it was it would make no odds as I won't need money on the other side.

Sure if you can do it openly. But part of the appeal of assisted death is to be able to it openly and not hiding in the shadows, in the presence of loved ones.

I recently realised I have no loved ones, so not a factor for me. I'll settle for being surrounded by kind strangers rather than going out alone and terrified in my final moments.

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

If I were full of energy And ambition - I would create a retreat center in some remote part of the world that would legally allow it and administer euthanasia surrounded by proper medical treatment and spiritual advisor… Somewhere very peaceful and beautiful… Would be quite beneficial and profitable… You could charge rich people more money and not rich people less… Would be very popular I suspect… But also would make for a pretty good film idea (A couple people meet up and fall in love and I have to escape etc or local Bandits/ freedom fighters attack and some death vacationers learn to embrace life etc.)
