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].

Just because he is not outwardly showing pain, the human mind is not strong enough to turn off the pain from being burnt alive.

Yes.
It's not about not feeling pain, but pushing-through it in order to reach the other side.

Self immolation sounds like the worst method in my opinion. Nobody should have to die such a painful death, we all deserve a peaceful exit at a time of our own choosing.

Yes.
The monk's choice of method was more about making a political point than a painless ctb. Immolation is splashy and makes headlines. By political, I'm not saying that he ultimately wasn't trying to reduce suffering.
Yes, absolutely. And we don't have that, at least for now.
"Power" = the ability to act. The monk had steadfast, unwavering commitment to his ctb.
The point may be that it's possible to tolerate a lot of short-term pain, in service of a higher goal.
