Discussion If you could book an appointment for an assisted suicide - no questions asked - would you book an appointment this week?

[wanttodie]

yes i do it today

 

[phantomime]

Yeah. Preferably today, right now. Let's just get this all over with.

 

[roseleaf]

oh yes. as soon as possible.

 

[neveragreedtothis]

Yes.

I wonder how many millions would too if this was a global thing.

Any estimates?

 

[endless_worry]

Would depend on one major factor— cost. IIRC, it can cost up to ~20k in Switzerland.

Sorry, this may be a little political and not entirely my intention, it's just frustrating! But in the US, they do everything they can to inhibit us from making the autonomous choice of what to do with our life or death yet they tell a woman with cancer that her Medicaid will not cover her cancer treatment but will cover her medically assisted suicide.

So yes, given the funds and/or opportunity of insurance coverage I certainly would.

I thought about it - and its no. I want to be totally responsible for my actions to CTB. I don't want to give that up to someone else, even if they are carrying out my wishes.

I'm not entirely sure how assisted suicide works and I'd rather look at all my options and chose whatever I end up being most comfortable with.

 

[DesolateSouls]

Depends on the cost. If it were free I would book it in an instant. That would literally be a dream come true. However, I've been poor my whole life and if I were in a place in life where I actually made decent money I probably wouldn't want to CTB nearly as badly tbh.

 

[EndJstifiesTheMeans]

i will do it instantly

 

[downndone2]

Yes
