  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

I am a news junkie. I watch and read a lot of news. But this just triggers me so fucking much. Maybe that is irrational but it is even way more infuriating than the war. (Obivously the war is horrible.) Probably because it has a real influence on my life.

I am so sick of reading about it. There is one media from Switzerland which has pretty good stances on that topic. I still read that. But today is a discussion/ debate in the German parliament how to enable assisted suicide. I just hate these people. I despise them for some stances. It is illegal to insult politicians in my country so I won't do that.

I know some journalists with horrible assisted suicide takes. I am getting really mad when I listen to them.

The situation is the following. The German highest court ruled 2020 due the amazing judge Prof. Dr. Andreas Voßkuhle that assisted suicide is a universal right in Germany. Not only for terminal ill people also for mentally ill and even healthy people. I can remember the day I was so fucking happy.
Then there were elections. I rooted for the leftwingers also because the conservatives still want to criminalize assisted suicide. Some conservatives really have argumented to ignore the highest German court. So they want to ignore the constitution...I can't respect these people.

The conservatives lost the election. But the compromise on assisted suicide the current draft is still horrendous. They want to make a bill which obviously contradicts the nature of the court ruling. Their arguments are horrible and contradict the constitutional ruling. The obstacles/hurdles to get it will be very high. Probably impossible for me.

The only thing I cling hope to is the following. Either the conservatives block even this bill with extreme hurdles because in their insane minds it is still too liberal. (LMAO). In this case assisted suicide would maintain unregulated. Or the highest court will intervene and say that the law is unconstitutional. In practice probably the assisted suicide organizations will sue against that bill. The big problem the highest judge Voßkuhle is not part of the court anymore. Instead a former christian conservative is now the highest judge....

If people will read this one day when I am dead. Here is the reasoning why I have not waited for the official way to commit suicide. I really would prefer if there was an official way how one could die. It feels horrible to get criminalized when one wants to go peacefully. This is all so cynical. The ruling gave me so much hope. In the end I will probably be disappointed. My deep wish was that assisted suicide would become for free. Nowadays it costs so much money. At the end of my life I will probably not have enough money to afford that. So I probably have to feel like a criminal when I kill myself.

Yeah I live in Germany. The organizations already work in Germany. My dad blackmails me and says if I contact an assisted suicide organization he would stop giving me money. Yeah my family would make that impossible.

Another thing I dislike about assisted suicide. I want to ctb when I hit rock bottom again. And assisted suicide is often only legal when you don't have an acute crisis.

It would cost a lot. I think several thousands. I don't want to spend my whole money on that. I am probably forced to die like a criminal if my life becomes unbearable again.

No one should have to resort to risky or painful methods to end their suffering. The right to die should always be respected, none of us asked for this life in the first place. It is cruel to try and force people to suffer against their wishes until old age. To me it is very unfair how they want to deny people a peaceful exit. We will all die eventually anyway.

How can you be criminalized if you are successful?

I have some connection to Germany, if that is where you are. My uncles live there.

My deep wish was that assisted suicide would become for free. Nowadays it costs so much money. At the end of my life I will probably not have enough money to afford that. So I probably have to feel like a criminal when I kill myself.
My experience, here in the US, is that when the government gets involved in something, that it ends up costing MORE.

So a high court ruling is still swayed by conservatives? It shoukd be completely unshakable, and x universal right as you say . I'm in so much pain irs awful we have to consider taking things jntk out own hands isn't it, yrs and how can it bd justified at 10 000 eutis ir so, its iaperwirk stuff psych reports etc.. nit the drug itself. Wish I was born in Marilyn Monroe's time.. much easier to get then!
