Discussion Suicide Tourism

[Alcoholic Teletubby]

Wiki Definition: "Suicide tourism, or euthanasia tourism, is the practice of potential suicide candidates travelling to a jurisdiction to commit suicide or assisted suicide which is legal in some jurisdictions, or the practice of travelling to a jurisdiction in order to obtain drugs that can aid in the process of ending one's own life."

Have any of you tried it or are you making the trip? Do you intend to?

I thought to go Mexico but have my doubts, the fact people go there to get n and ctb there to save bringing through customs has made authorities clamp up a bit I would of thought making it hard to get or really expensive. I did read a post about going to Bolivia but who knows. China might be worth looking into for the tablet form of p or n but I'd think you would need a trustworthy tour guide. I was looking at how to access the DW safely to source something too , it's frustrating feeling trapped

Would like to. But unfortunately the only organization that accepts foreigners is Pegasos in Switzerland and they don't accept people with depression. For whatever reason that is.

Probably because applications would be flooding the place.

oh true. didnt think of that .
That really makes sense.
I was confused at first because they state on their website that a person doesnt have to be ill to ctb.

Keep a discussion like this going! Share your experiences or if you've had similar thoughts. It might give me insight into different perspectives.

Can't afford it and I'm not sure I could trust people in the country I'd have to go to.

I don't want to get there and then hear the "You have so much to live for" spiel.

You can be depressed from your chronic pain.

The idea of N suicide with assistance is very tempting but not feasible for me. With $10k I will just travel on my own to some unforgettable places, after then back home again for my SN.

Can you imagine the fights between us at such a machine? I wanna go next....
No I'm going next....no your not, yes I am....they will need a lots of machines!.

I personally don't think 10k euros is that expensive. It's just that I would rather die in the comfort of my own bed in my own house.

I contacted the organizations in the Netherlands and Belgium after reading the story about the 29 year old who was accepted into their assisted suicide program for mental health issues... they emailed me back saying they "didn't accept foreigners, go try in your own country, good luck".

I'm just exhausted from dealing with a wave of incompetent medical staff who probably got their medical degrees online, and just want people to be tethered to 15 different pills every day for the rest of their life. It's honestly sickening.

Switzerland accepts foreigners. I don't know if they consider people with mental illness though. I think pegasos does.

Just in my brief interactions with those organizations, the whole conversation of having to beg and justify why you personally deserve a calm, peaceful death is incredibly denigrating... just my personal experience though.
I'll stick to my visine.

I really appreciate the advice though

There's a lot of inconsistencies in today's euthanasia organizations, the main factors could be capitalism and of course regulation.They care much for public opinion
