The legal way is too slow, if you ask me. Still better than the other states where you couldn't even off yourself legally if you have a terminal illness and every single day of your life is nothing but suffering with no future to look forward to until you inevitably die an undignified death.
Definitely, but maybe if the use of life ending drugs like this is more common in the US more sources will pop up as wellYeah I seen that story. Well for those who are going to die a bad death, suffering pain struggle to breathe and then suffocate to death I would in line to get the meds to die quickly and avoid that ending myself. However, someone wanting to CTB not in that position then the law is not going to help them. They would not get the assistance. Too healthy. That is almost funny in a way but true. If you are trying to CTB for other reasons which some would argue there are other reasons to end life besides terminal illness you would be left out of that option. Assisted is not going to be for you. I think it is good thing and comforting to know those so ill and suffering will have that choice though. Peace.

In Canada they mostly seem to be offering it to people who are too disabled to work and offering it as an alternative to them being homeless because the government won't give them livable benefits. So they're offering it to people who probably want to live but don't want to be homeless and denying it to people who don't want to live but still have functioning bodies. It's so pants-on-head backwards it boggles the mind, but that's government for you.Similar threads
