Worst fear: Becoming a vegetable.

[not-2-b-the-answer]

It annoys me that they attempt to resuscitate when they're clearly past the point of fully recovering. If he was depressed when he was fully abled why the fuck would he be ok living like this? It's sick

It makes me sick to know they KNEW he wouldn't fully recover and would probably end up this way.

That would be absolutely terrifying. Luckily with my method the time span I could be saved is very small. Most people are gone within an hour with Nembutal. But I am gonna put a note next to my body that warns the emergency service, if they appear in time, to let me die. I'll make it very clear on that note that I don't want to be saved. I don't know if it's gonna work but it's all I can do.

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

That is one of my biggest fears too. To be permanently injured in such a way that even I am unable to ctb, let alone even stop anyone from intervening. That is a fate worse than death itself. If I were he, I'd do everything I can and exhaust all options to receive a dignified death or euthanasia, but failing that, raise as much hell and trouble for the people who are keeping me alive.

Also he didn't regret his decision, he regret that he failed and has to live like a vegetable. This is something that pro-lifers do not understand let alone acknowledge with regards to suicidal people. It's also really disgusting how pro-lifers make it seem like the person was glad to be alive and even make it a posterchild of their anti-suicide campaign! So disgusting, fuck them!

You said it so well. Pro-Lifers will never get how someone could possibly want to die. I HOPE that they have to spend years hooked up to machines just waiting to die.

He still wants to die and all of them think they know better what's best for him?

If an animal is suffering it's accepted to kill it and end it's pain
but suddenly when it's a human he/she HAS to live...

Do we hate each other that much?

If I was his mother I'd apply for dignitas long time ago and if they refused I'd kill him myself.

Did I mis-read the article ? That his mother was ok with letting him die ? I will have to look at it again.

Will a note to not be rescued help? I'm sure there are different laws and practice for doctors around the world. In theory, rescuing lives is their main mission. Don't think the emergency service here in Norway would care if finding a note.

I'm also afraid of being found too soon as well. I would really like to end it in a comfortable motel room but too scared of the cleaning person coming in before I'm completely gone. Too cold to do it outside now … also may be found there as well. :(

That's fair. I plan to do it in a hotel and will do it the same night I check in, but yeah I can also understand being worried about the cleaning lady finding you in time. Plus I've heard that more and more hotels aren't respecting the "do not disturb" sign or are even removing them.

System's gotta make money somehow

 

[Thoughtforms]

I read that they won't switch off life support etc as it's aiding with suicide therefore illegal.

 

[LetMeDiePlease]

Really gotta love the way the article is worded. The son wants to die, but the parents are like screw you, we will "help" to keep you miserable.

That makes me even more scared to do it in a motel. :(

That makes me even more scared to do it in a motel. :(

most hotels don't disturb though until the next morning. I've been to plenty hotels.

 

[Goldie]

This is why I am going with N even if I have to wait for it. Partial is just too risky imho.

In my experience hotels may call you despite DND being up, but they will never knock on your door. There must be some sort of protocol where they only leave you alone for x number of days though. It is impossible to say though as it would be different for every type of hotel.

This is me now I am a vegetable

Same here.

The man of the news died recently, fortunately for him, he found peace from that prison. But others arent so lucky and live decades.

 

[NOT]

OMG. He blinks twice for yes when asked if he still wants to die???????? Why would they put that in the article? Poor thing.

Because they are bloodsucking demons.
Even better is:
"He received brilliant service at the hospital"
Sure, just look at the picture.

His mother sincerely believes that she doing something good and right, this is ruthless egoism. The system makes money on his condition and shows him as a scarecrow - as an example to other slaves so as not to dare to try to escape from this shithole. I cann't understand how such an existence can be considered better than death, this society is mentally sick.

 

[omoidarui]

in the UK you can create a living will i.e. a document that lets you refuse life-sustaining treatment in advance

it looks suspicious asking your doctor to sign one but it might make this legally avoidable.

His mother sincerely believes that she doing something good and right, this is ruthless egoism.

his mother may not have had a choice (when he was alive), assisted suicide is illegal and not all families can afford Dignitas.

 

[intheweeds]

Fuck that's terrifying. I may just go pay someone to set me up with a living will.

Just wondering, how do you know?

I looked up his Facebook today this morning actually. I read it in her sisters Facebook I think. I was relieved to know he stopped suffering. Jack Barnes in Facebook.

 

[Joannf]

I already feel like a vegetable.

No reason to get excited, most people are vegetables from beginning to end ;)

 

[No_more]

I'm trying to starve myself to death. I'm worried about when the weight loss starts to be noticeable. I will have to cover it best I can and think of excuses. I should be able to die if I want.

From his moms Facebook

thank you.
I am SO happy this kid died. What a truly awful life.

 

[NOT]

This is why you do it in the forest. Even if you end up in coma, you sre still gonna die from dehidration and hunger.
Best part, you are not even gonna be aware that it is hapening.

Thanks for sharing that link and I must say it feels good to know he died, I mean it wasn´t "that" long he was a vegetable right? He could potentially have lived for decades maybe so to me it feels as a relief to know he won´t be trapped in the prison that was his body anymore.

Yeah I felt relief too for him. I think he lived 2 years like that. Must have felt like 10 years though for the poor guy.

If you said to me a happy person became like this well.. it'd be hell but at least their brain was fine before. But this poor guy was depressed and bpd, and then to happen this... Life is shit.
Scary things, there's no justice.
