I keep trying to make a plan, but every time I think about the methods available to me it stops me from getting any further. None of the DIY methods seem reliable or peaceful enough for me to decide on anything. If Euthanasia were legal where I live, I would have done it by now. Perhaps that’s why it isn’t legal, but this isn’t by any means a frivolous decision. There are those of us who are legitimately suffering for medical reasons, but who are not classified as “terminally ill”. Where I live, people that fall into that category have no legal rights to die. All I want is the comfort to know that I can have a professional shoot me up with sleeping medicine if my condition worsens to the point that I can’t function. It’s a right society gives to dogs and cats, but apparently not people. My ideal suicide plan is to tour Europe, and stop in any of the fine countries that allow euthanasia. Judging by the political climate and events of the past year, I can say without question that America truly is a backwards place.

If everyone had the right to die in that way then a lot of people would do it. And that’s a reason why it isn’t available to everyone. Because the world needs labor to be able to function.
I also wish Euthanasia was available in my country, I have a life threatening illness and some other long term conditions which aren’t terminal so according to my family I just got to live with it, no matter how much I’m suffering. I believe it should be our choice as long as we have mental compacity.
