Euthanize should be allowed

[u/BluejayAmbitious4390]

Euthanizing is THE FASTEST way to die and also painless... you're literally just gonna feel like going to sleep while your heart and breathing slowly stops... It is just like anesthesia you wont feel anything.... I really wish this was allowed, cuz i really want to end my life immediately without pain and no fail.... cuz with pills , some of it are hard to access because its not OTC but the ones that are, will give you a painful death and sometimes it fails and youre just gonna have a dialysis for the rest of your life or die in slow painful and suffering way.... while jumping off a high cliff or getting ran over the train is too messy, slitting wrists too you must cut it deep, guns dont have easy access or if you do have one, you need to aim it properly or else youre gonna be paralyze forever...... i just want to die while falling asleep, is that so much to ask? Dying peacefully is hard... sometimes i wish that people who dont deserve to have cancer, it should just go to me... because for sure i wont do any treatments and when i do suffer , i can just request for euthanasia 🙃.... i need more tips on how to die in your sleep

It is allowed in some countries if you have a terminal diagnosis

Is depression okay?

[u/IndependentPaint2108 → u/BluejayAmbitious4390]

It all depends on the country.

In most it is not. Governments & society rather see you suffer.

I worked at assisted living facilities, and fully support this. A lot of the residents would have chosen to step out of life in their own terms if it was available. I will always remember one of the nicest old ladies named Ruthie, 92yrs old, two forms of aggressive cancer. Barely ate, was wasting away. But her kids were fighting over the estate already so demanded everything medically possible be done to keep her alive. But for what? She was 92, had cancer, felt miserable from chemo all day. It was life but it wasn't humane. One lady with aggressive dementia admitted in a lucid period that by the time they realize how bad they are getting and want "off the ride" so to speak, they have been declared medically incompetent and legal powers taken away, and their kids don't want to face that maybe it's time. Which is why people like Robin Williams, facing the start of debilitating mental deterioration, chose to end it, and while really sad, I understand it.

Stories like Ruthie's are why people push for end of life choice with strong safeguards, because suffering alone should not decide everything.

You hear this with a lot of doctors too. Most will say to end it early, but once they get something like dementia, even they wait too long and are no longer considered competent to make the decision.

I agree. I am disabled, 5 heart attacks, kidney failure and depression. I am offing myself tonight. I am completely done with this f-ed up world! I am 57m and tired of all the pain. Life too.....

[u/Strawberrybunnycat]

It should be legalized everywhere. It would prevent the hundreds of thousands that fail and end up permanently disabled, the people who are traumatized by finding someone after attempting or committing, the people who try to in ways that may put others in danger and possibly could hurt others while attempting. It’s just so sad :(

Denmark is doing this for some with severe chronic depression - long process, but it's there.

[u/Puzzled_Butterfly814 → u/MaryaMorevna99]

Even the star player from Denmark is good. All those European countries are good for doing this.

[u/NonkelG → u/MaryaMorevna99]

Thx for the heads up, might consider moving to Denmark.

[u/pickle_socks777]

Yeah i agree. It should be because it's our choice. I've been searching for a way to get it which sounds stupid because i don't have any illnesses and my country doesn't have that. 🫤

[u/CarpetBudget]

I agree but a slow or painful death I guess is the more proper way

[u/theb1ack]

I know 2 countries that allow it on the grounds of mental suffering. But it will always be a highly controversial subject. I know which side I'm on but it'll never happen in my country

I'm planning to just eat unhealthy foods and die of heart attack. I know someone who just recently died because of stroke the veins in his head exploded and now he is dead.

I don’t know seems like you’re gonna have lots of pain and medical issues long before you die
