If you were offered the choice would you prefer assisted suicide, where you take the drugs yourself after they have been prescribed by a doctor, or euthanasia, where the doctor gives you the drugs?

Hey Guest,

Honestly, either would be great. It would be nice to be prescribed some medication though so I can die somewhere comfortable. I think I'd spend my savings on a nice hotel so that I can enjoy my solitude for a while in a nice bed with no bugs. Maybe even just a public park or parking lot. However, that would be extremely inconsiderate for anyone around me, so euthanasia in the hospital would be a safer bet.

Euthanasia because I'd be less anxious of something going wrong plus it's scary the thought of dying alone

I'd prefer euthanasia because there would be someone to supervise it and make sure that it's guaranteed
@FuneralCry if you could be euthanized, would you?

Aren't they the same or am I mistaken?
Your mistaken. Assisted suicide is where you take a suicide pill yourself orally after getting it from a doctor, euthanasia is where the drugs are administered via intravenous drip.

Then I guess I'd take euthanasia. The less actions that I have to do myself, the more likely I'll actually be dead. I'd rather have my life be ended by doctors rather than myself

I really like the Belgian model , where the dr comes around to your house and puts you to sleep in the comfort and privacy of your own house . Doesn't get much better than that .
Agreed. They use both assisted suicide and euthanasia in Belgium, but most patients choose euthanasia.

I'm fine with either of them as they're a guaranteed death.

Assisted suicide. I could listen to my favorite music and die somewhere peaceful and comfy. Also, I really don't like needles and I don't want to be terrified right before I die :)

Assisted suicide. I like the idea of being in control of my own death. It would also give me more liberty as to when I do it, as opposed to having a set time based around the doctors schedule.

Assisted, though I can see the appeal of euthanasia since it's very possible I could screw it up if left to my own devices.
sounds like a dream come true

Neither, just make what items I need legal to get and I'll do it myself.
I trust medical "professionals" about as far as I can throw them.

At least you have assisted suicide for some reasons in Australia, we don't have it all in England.
Assisted would be someone loading a gun, charging it then handing it to you to shoot yourself.
Euthanasia would just be being shot by someone.
I wouldn't mind taking the pills or N orally myself but I'd want medical professionals around to take further action if they didn't work.
I do actually prefer the idea of assisted suicide because it takes the responsibility off of the other person to an extent but yeah- the fear with all methods is that they don't work and make matters worse for us.

Only for people who have 1.5 feet in the grave already . Its called the beg and grovel laws at the moment, but I guess it is a start, even though we're far away off from the more civilised nations such as belgium and Switzerland
Is there any possibility that the law will be loosened to allow more people to qualify? Here in England - health is a devolved matter so Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland decide separately - there's likely to be a parliamentary vote after the next election on assisted suicide & euthanasia. It'll be interesting to see whether it passes. Unclear at this stage whether we'll go for an Oregon model - 6 months or fewer to live -
or a Dutch model - incurable suffering.
Whilst slow though, here at sanctioned suicide we have some cause for hope: no country has yet legalised assisted dying (the generic term for assisted suicide & euthanasia) and then repealed the law and a number of countries are likely to legalise within the next year or so including France and Ireland. We are winning the argument.

Assisted suicide as long as it meant that it was guaranteed that I'd finally cease existing, to me it'd be so relieving to be able to free myself from this futile and undesirable existence in such a peaceful way, all I wish for is this existence to eternally disappear into nothingness.
It's beyond hellish how we are denied the option of such and are expected to continue delaying the inevitable no matter what even know it's all meaningless in the end. I'd choose to die peacefully far away from other people, if it's up to me I'd wish to erase my existence so it's like I never existed at all.

Assisted suicide. I would rather take the pills myself when I felt ready. Having to go to a clinic on a certain date would be too much pressure for me. I would probably chicken out at the last minute with a certain date set in advance.
Assisted suicide for some of the reasons mentioned above. I'd rather take pills when I'm ready. Plus I would want to go somewhere peaceful to die. It would be great to die in a forest under the trees and just let Nature have me back.
Absolutely assisted suicide. I could not hand over the power to someone else especially if i don't know them. I've already lost control of the rest of my life so I feel like I need to be in control of this.

End result is the same.
The problem is making it happens.
