i read posts about it and im sure most of you like the idea. thinking that it is easier. you dont have to do it yourself. we have it where i live. have since 2016. i looked into it a few times but quickly realized it wasnt the best option. to start with although people with depression and whatnot are eligible for it. its damn near impossible but thats not the only thing. what really got me was a news story i read. it was about a girl. i dont remember what the problem was but she was eligible. it took doctors, trained professionals, seven times before she finally left this world. and each time her family would say good bye and each time she would wake up. if i were ever to do it i want to be 100% sure i would succeed there would be no waking up. but there is no way to be sure that my plan would actually work. although im 98% sure it would, theres still that 2%. what if it doesnt? then i wake up in an even worse hell then im already in. better off just keeping myself stoned so i dont feel anything. at least that willl work.

I don’t think Dignitas has that problem.
If there were a 100% fullproof and painless way that we could do by ourselves then i’m certain the suicide rate would become MASSIVE !
Massive indeed. If all recorded attempts became successful because people had unchallenged access to highly successful means and assistance to see to it things worked as intended then I calculated suicides would outpace all other causes of death by 3 to 2!
Actually, you do have to do it yourself. Otherwise it’s murder.
I did my senior project on assisted suicide because it was all I could think about I was set and ready to kill myself immediately after graduation. I mean waste my entire life in public education and then be forced to remain alive after that torture? It’s been 6 years and I’m still trying with all my might to be able to end it.. I thought assisted suicide may be able to help me end it so I wanted to look into it… turns out nobody gets approved and you have to be an old man and it’s not legal very much anywhere…..
I mean I don’t even have depression I just don’t want to live this life.
Propaganda video from anti assisted suicide organizations. You can’t take ONE sensationalized story and say it represents ALL assisted suicide cases. Could something rare like that happen? Sure, but so can dying from drinking too much water. Can it happen? Yes, but exceedingly rare. 99% of assisted suicide cases have patients drift into a quick and peaceful sleep.
People who push these stories have an agenda to shut down ALL assisted suicide programs. They’re fighting it tooth and nail where I am.
It’s a moot point anyway since 99% of people can’t get approved for these programs.
