Do you think there's any hope of the law changing?

In the UK the law changed recently. People with terminal illnesses will be able to apply for euthanasia. It's a good start but it would be even better if we adopted rules like Switzerland or Netherlands, where you can apply for euthanasia for mental suffering.

I want to leave but the only method open to me is SN. I just want to sleep or pass out and be gone. I haven't had any luck in sourcing SN so I guess I'm stuck here. It's so frustrating. I'm poor and a coward, so I don't wanna consider other methods like jumping off bridges.

People euthanise dogs, for instance, when they have temperaments that limit their adoption prospects. I am just like a dog, I have been abused to the point where I can't form relationships with other humans. I don't want to hurt anyone, I just want to be gone from this place.

Hey, I feel you and I hope you can find peace wherever you wish to go. Big hug ♥
In Switzerland there is this myth that people can get euthanized for mental suffering, but it is not entirely true. Patients can get euthanized there after a very lengthy medical assessment (speaking in years) and always need to be suffering from other chronic diseases that disable them strongly. Think of severe physical or mental disabilities, or chronic pains with no hopes of recovery, BUT who are still able to articulate a will to die.

About euthanizing chronically ill patients, there are debates on the mental impact such procedures have on medical staff as well. And the eternal "there is still slight hope!" argument.

And for other profiles, the thing is, countries need people, mainly as workforce. If you can work on their terms, there is no reason for law to change on that. That's my slightly pessimistic view on it.

Thanks for the info.

Thing is, AI might replace a lot of jobs. The 0.001% only see us as useless eaters anyway.

It's not easy, but not impossible (to UK).
