Imagine if you will: A euthanasia center opening up in every U.S. major city available to those 18+

[Ambivalent1]

What things do you predict happen next? What do the news people say? How do the religious react? Would this "break' the internet?

 

[unnormal9]

I will scurry hastily to the nearest centre, with a feeling of relief for once that my pain has finally reached its end.

I would wait a bit to see the drama unfold. It'd be so exciting mwahaha

I suppose that would be an interest to some nonetheless.

It wouldn't be much use to me as I live in the UK unfortunately which is a very anti suicide country. But if such a thing happened then pro suffering people would campaign against it as they selfishly would want to force their family members to suffer.

 

[Mortalist]

Ooh, I allready know how Tucker Carlson would go on FoxNews rantng about it.

Just fly over

What would he say you think?

 

[leavingsoon99]

As long as they make it available to anyone without a felony or escaping the law. Debt shouldn't matter, either. Sign me up.

 

[unnormal9]

Just fly over

I do not think it that easy or simple for everyone.

 

[Unending]

I'd love seeing the pro-suffering weirdos get mad about it and make their weak arguments once again on the news, as if the debate hasn't been going on way too long as it is lol.
Well, what I'd love much more is if we could all just be mature adults and accept that some people have a horrid quality of life of don't want to suffer until death so considering that they never signed a lease for their existence in this world, we should honor their wish out of respect for life and death.

I mean come on I know for a fact that all these pro-sufferers wouldn't last long at all with some of these conditions if they developed one. I'm just trying to be realistic, there are some people who don't' mind enduring extreme pain but seriously the majority of reasonable people aren't very interested in being forced to do that.

I could see a scenario where not only would "life warriors" wage ALL-OUT war against these institutions, but the government would find a way to make one stay too. Such as putting stipulations on it. One has to owe less than such and such. It'd be chaos.

A self-termination clinic would, most of all, be a major indictment against the human race. That would be one of the biggest collective "mirror moments" the human has ever had. Something like this would be a tyrannical truth. A hard revelation about the human that it is not yet ready to face about itself. The human is nowhere near ready to accept the fact that it isn't inherently good, and that the ills of life are its fault. Mostly.

I would cross the pond in a canoe for such an opportunity

I hope to live to see humanity face such a day. I dont know of any other ways such a thing would come about besides a self termination clinic.

Same here! I get the feeling that our window of opportunity for being able to access such a service would be limited. If something like that opened up close to me, and I had the opportunity to go there and sign up, I would be hurrying there right now.

Activists would block entrances?

Not sure what I'll do then. Politely ask them to GTFO?

 

[SilentSadness]

I expect that the pro-lifers would go to their usual extremes. They already doxxed the former owners and have been crusading against the site for several years just for hosting method information, so I don't doubt that many of them would resort to violence in this case. Anyway, I would take the option the moment it arose, sadly it would never happen in such a miserable pro-life world.

Euthanasia exists in Spain and the world has not come to an end. In fact, when you draw up the advance directives document there is already a specific section for euthanasia. However, it is not a general right; there are restrictions as to the profile of the applicants.

A Espanya existeix la eutanàsia i no s'ha acabat pas el mòn. De fet quan fas el document de voluntats anticipades ja hi ha un apartat específic per la eutanàsia. Això si, no és un dret general, hi han restriccions en quan al perfil dels demandants.

The "we're all on this dirtball together" psychology. Humans are most generous with misery.

Simple answer: I would sign up very quickly and ensure that all my affairs and things are in order and then go through the process to be euthanized.

I will assume it is legal and that it is inalienable right, meaning that one is of the age of majority and will not be barred from it (except specific circumstances, adjudicated as mentally defective by court of law, a convict (felon or those whose imprisonment term exceeds a year, etc.). Therefore, I would choose it without a doubt and not have to resort to risky methods or secrecy (especially when there is no taboo and no interference as an 'inalienable' right).

No. Sorry.

Aside from the most obvious reactions from at least half the population, I think it would be monetized and gatekeeped by classism pretty quickly.

 

[Gonnerr]

I would bring enough food to wait in line at least 1 week. That would create havoc.

I hope this becomes the norm in the near distant future. CTB at will. Yes please!
