This isn't really how morality works. The morals of 100, 50, 20, and even 10 years ago are not identical to the morals of today. The morals of the future will be even more progressive than the morals of today. There is a compound effect that comes from every change. This change leads not just to its legalisation but its normalisation. Making it eligible to people who have over a year to die would be unthinkable to most MPs today. But will that be the case say..... 10 years in the future? Probably not. The change and subsequent changes compound to create a cuture where an idea is normalised and therefore more palateable and easier to accept for many people. Another compound change can be the voice of suicidal people being heard. In some years time, suicidal rights and human rights activism may become more normalised and accepted than it is now. You can't judge the people of the future by the morals of today. Their morals will be more progressive than ours. I mean, look at how suicidal people were treated in the past and compare that to today. The difference is stark. Of course it's hard to predict how long this will take to occur but it's unlikely to not occur. Western society has simply liberalised and progressed over the centuries and it's unlikely that that trend will suddenly stop.
Yes but I think it's fairly unlikely that the bill won't be passed since a majority of parliament and a majority of the public are in support of assisted dying.
Agreed the government likely knows that a considerable portion of the populus would chose to end their lives, especially those of lower class is given access to a peaceful death. There is no way the government will allow it.
Yeah progress moves at a glacial pace i agree, in a hundred years it's perfectly feasible that euthanasia kiosks would exist on every street corner and you'd have to ask how and why that would come about and what that would say about the society of the time.
At some point cannabis will be available, on prescription, to people who suffer from MS and Parkinsonism. There ain't ever gonna be a doctor who doles it out to bogstandard potheads. This difference in terms of need should be recognised.
Why do you want here to remove her comment? She didn't say anything wrong. It truly is cruel at how the right to die isn't a thing yet. Yes, what the UK is doing is a good first step and I absolutely support it but it's nowhere near to the right to die and it won't ever be. Users here deserve to be annoyed at that realisation. This bill changes nothing for the rest of here who want to die but can't because society would rather force people like us to stay alive for as long as possible against our will. This in turn causes immense harm so FC and everybody else here as the right to be upset at that
Because I don't like her fucking constant doomer posts. This is a thread about the assisted dying bill, not an opportunity to spread your cult-like doomer ideology. You can complain about the way the world is and how it makes you suicidal without actually romanticising death.
Why should FC remove their comment. You remove yours
You remove yours. FC is a much loved member of this community and she can voice her opinion if she wants. You, well.....
Just rang my doctor and asked if being "terminally online" is treatable and if not will he kill me, am on hold rn, will let you know how it goes.
This is a public place so, when you post a thread here, you have to deal with the responses that you get even if you hate the person posting it. Also, how tf is she what she saying a cult like ideology? Do you even know what a cult is? A cult is a group of people who have the same beliefs and try to impose said beliefs upon others; an example of this being christianity or Islam. FC has many times used the words "I" and "me" showing that it's her personal belief only. Also, what's wrong if she romantises death for her own personal life? Why does she or anybody have to complain about their life without also romanticising death for their own situation?
I may or may not agree with you here but i will offer some gentle advice from experience and say their stans are relentlessly enthusiastic when launching a public defence of the mildest eye-roll in the direction of their fav and staff will not be sympathetic to any position you present about the inappropriateness of copypaste spam posting, the ignore button is something l avoid using as a rule but in lieu of any ostensibly sensible option it is absolutely your friend here
Wow, they are VERY quick these days. FC has seen off more users of this forum than SN ever could.
I find all her posts so similar, it seems I'm always reading the same thing. It's surprising to me that she has such a solid fanbase lol.
They said something nasty to me but I didn't report it. Are they banned or did their nastier comments just get removed?
What did they say exactly? 'Nasty' is very open for interpretation...
They must've been at 99% then because this was nothing.
Can't remember. My brains gone sorry but I remember "ignoring" them when I saw it, which I don't usually do. Sorry I can't remember for you tho. Think my personalities know I'm not in a good place and they forget stuff for me if that makes sense. Tired. Can't do conversation right now. Sorry
Yes but observing this gets you the "ban hammer" by particularly vigilant staff, just swerve and move on.
Is almost as if the percentage points system is ultimately arbitrary and designed to give individual members of staff discretion to impose discipline on an unseen numeric scale which still presents a veneer of accountability.
