If you were allowed medically assisted suicide, would you do it??

[dust-in-the-wind]

I ask this question because so many young people on here say they want to die but are afraid of pain, failing and fear. Assisted suicide would eliminate pain and failing. But what about SI? Could you drink the fatal medication (in Canada i think its done thru IV but you have to pull the lever) knowing you will be dead soon after? No going back. Game over. I've watched many videos on YouTube that have done it. Albeit most were terminal ill, elderly or in chronic pain. Which makes the mental part easier to accept. All were at peace with their decision.

I am 40, so not necessarily part of the "young" crowd. However, with both if my previous attempts, I was very calm and did not hesitate. If I could have the opportunity to have a supervised, sure fire method, hell I would probably be excited to die.

Likewise. I've never felt that "instant regret" many of the anti-suicide campaigners talk about.

I'm 26, though I've been told I act/come across like someone of middle age.

Absolutely! I even went so far looking at the euthanasia sites. I would empty my account and pay whatever they ask just to exit this place!

I'm 19 years old and absolutely I would. If it's in a medical setting it would even feel as if my pain is immediately validated, and that I'm not crazy for wanting to die.

Seeing those videos, seeing the genuine, unforced peace on their faces... it changes the narrative from "giving up" to "stepping out." For me, the answer is a resounding yes. I can absolutely see myself taking that final drink or activating the IV. The "no going back" part isn't a threat, it's the ultimate relief. It's the finality that makes the peace possible.

If I get pentobarbital on prescription everything would be do much easier.

I have 500 bucks of suicide equipment here...
And I still feel conflicted because SN and Helium both have their nasty side effects

In a heartbeat.

I am 55 , if allowed, will 100% go for it.

Nope. At best, if barbiturates were available, I'd get them just to use them recreationally, or as an anti-anxiety drug like they're intended.
If I had access to guns, on the other hand, it'd be a different story. I've always liked suicide by gunshot the most; it isn't just that I want the pain to be over, I want complete control over my death, including the means. I don't want some doctor injecting me with something, I want to blow my brains out.

Any forums on SN effects?
