I specified the mentally ill because petitioning for everyone would not go over well.

I reckon that site still frowns upon the right to die. They exiled this community hence this website's creation, after all. They're stuck in "prevent prevent, prevent" mode.

Why are they so desperate? With overpopulation and wars over water looming ahead, it seems like euthanasia is a solution.

They need to adopt a more nuanced perspective on life and when it is vs is not worthwhile. Many still cling to tired traditions because that's the easiest thing to do or whatever, I don't even know.

What will push them to adopt that new viewpoint?

I think the only thing that might help is continued discussion to try and convince people that suicide =/= evil.

But they don't want an open discussion. This seems hopeless

We are the minority here. They don't believe depressed people should have a right to quit life, therefore they won't even discuss it. Just pivot to mental health "care" instead.

The word "euthanasia" alongside "mentally ill" will go absolutely nowhere, and anyone who signs it will be called a nazi or some other despicable name. I don't agree with that reaction, but it's reality.

However, if it was approached the way Canada did it, there might be a chance - giving mentally ill people the same right to Death with Dignity (in legal states) as anyone else. But it would need to be opened up to everyone in that case, or at least people with chronic conditions and not just terminal — including mental illness.

Yeah some truly are unfortunately. They'll go to their graves insisting ctb is just evil always. But some may be convinced

What's the fixation with the depressed? There's worse problems like ptsd. Whenever someone talks about suicide in the media or in passing, they say the person was depressed. Well, yeah probably but I doubt that was their only problem.

They'll go to their graves and in the grand scheme of things, they may as well have died by ctb because who gives a fuck

Notes should be left on their graves saying, "it's such a shame they took THE EASY WAY OUT" lol

Either way, they will never approve of a "peaceful exit". It just doesn't benefit them.

But they won't have to give us universal basic income or payout as much disability or welfare. Seems like a win win

May be a stupid question, but what website is the OP referring? If you can't say the name for some reason, initials will do.

Thanks. Never heard of that one. Must be living in a bubble. Or, just not caring that much and too wrapped up in my own shit.

Make a petition about celebrity bullshit, get countless signatures, and then reword it to make it about euthanasia lol that would be funny
