Discussion Dignitas healthy woman going because of the loss of her son, is it easier to qualify now?

[sickofeverything]

Just saw a story of a 56 year old healthy woman who paid to go to dignitas after the loss of her son, I thought you had to have a terminal illness or debilitating illness to die with dignity, can severe heart break and emotional distress qualify now?

A girl in Spain was able to achieved after proving to the judges that she was in a several chronic pain due her BPD thanks to a group who raped her. I think it's very much possible, the old lady probably had some PTSD diagnosed prior the approval for it.

Yeah I saw that story as well but it seems for her case she could easily prove huge trauma that will greatly affect her life, the case about the mom being granted it for her son's death seems less extreme, I'm surprised it was granted since usually people say "everyone dies, it's not a reason for you to die"

it really depends on the psychiatric evaluation of the woman. Probably her mental state was awful!

I wonder how quick and easy it is to go through the evaluation, I have a feeling a lot of us would be able to pass with our awful mental states but the question is would we get the approval as well?

It really depends, I may say. They need to evaluate your trauma, environment, your reasons and everything related to it. I think it's gonna be a tough process and a very expensive one too.

Yeah sadly that seems to be the case, from what I read I believe she attempted to take her life and said she'd try again without it and she doesn't want to traumatize the rest of her family that way so she got it. I wish there was readily available and easy to get suicide like in Futurama, there would probably be less mass casualties as well. People hate suicide and hate us for doing it yet they don't let a legal peaceful option exist so we have to do it ourselves and traumatize our family, people who see if we do it outside, and whoever has to find us or come deal with the aftermath

There's barely countries who has the approval for euthanasia which is so unfortunate and very hard to archive without the medical permission first. We only have the rough methods left, sadly.

I want to add that in these news stories about euthanasia the information public has can be incomplete, very skewed, contradictory or even prejudiced and outright malicious. People with best knowledge of each case wont be talking to public. So making conclusions based on few cases can be hard.
