Assisted Suicide

Euthanasia in Belgium and the Netherlands (and the debate surrounding it)

I must apologize in advance, because I’m going to put a lot of videos and articles in this post and it will probably occupy a lot of space on the starting page of this site (needless to say, feel free to write your opinions about euthanasia in the comment section).

Legalizing Assisted Suicide Debate

by eternaldarkness 3/18/2017

written by eternaldarkness

For those interested, there’s a formal debate about this here:
http://www.intelligencesquaredus.org/debates/legalize-assisted-suicide

Obviously, most of us on here would agree it’s OUR choice. But sadly, legislation is always held captive by

1- money (hospitals stand to make TONS off of living chronically sick people, and the last 6mo of someone’s life accounts for the majority of a hospital’s revenue) and by
2- other people’s stupid religious belief’s shoved down our throats. Who cares what YOUR religion says? Why should YOUR beliefs dictate MY life?
3- And fuck your holier than thou attitude.

Questions about using ******** for suicide?

by Yasmine Cuellar 8/20/2013

written by Yasmine Cuellar

I know it’s a naive question, but I want to leave this planet soon and was thinking about either making my own exit bag or look to buy one online if they even sell them online. What are the steps to making your own exit bag with ********? And how can I get the ********? Should it be high purity ******** or just pure ********? I tried looking up these questions myself online but all I kept running across were a bunch of ignorant anti-assisted suicide websites. Thank you for reading and hope to hear from someone soon. 🙂

My way out, my confession

by JSolitude 2/28/2013

written by JSolitude

I must have been around 8 or 9 when my mother first brought me to a psychologist. I had to draw a tree and had to talk to the lady. Obviously I must have been depressed but I didn’t know the word for it. When I was 21 I did three suicide attempts over a 2 year period. The internet did not exist then and my method of trying to die humanely (sleeping pills – Lorametazepam to be exact) were not to succeed. Sleeping pills in combination with a bag: no use either. I was only left with the humilation of waking up in a […]

Not another dark comedy?

by Vix73 11/26/2012

written by Vix73

I guess what makes for the best dark comedies is the twist that no one sees coming, right?

So, here I am about to take the pills I have been able to amass when I receive some good news. An advocate is going to assist me in the legal action that I am trying to bring against my brother for sexually abusing me before I was 7! This makes me happy. Someone is actually willing to give me a small hand with this shit. Be a buffer with the police, so that I donâ€™t have to keep reliving it over and over again. Although this is […]

written by savemefrommyself97

It just seems I cant get a break recently. After all the drama and problems last week, I find out I`ll possibly need another root canal, which my mom cant afford. Shes been slamming stuff around and crying, just upset in general. She keeps saying all I asked you to do is brush your teeth, my credit is maxed out, your dad isnt going to help and then she quits talking to me period.

Its just stressing me out..I feel horrible I keep adding all this pressure, with my appointments and medicine..I cant even get myself to cry anymore. Im sick of being a burden to […]

Window of Opportunity

by loco2164 6/28/2012

written by loco2164

A couple of days ago I believed today would be the day to get this done, finally, once and for all, no more hand-wringing, no more excuses. I was prepared to deal with the dreaded pain I knew it would take to do the deed. But wouldn’t you know it, the time frame when my will was the strongest my plans were thwarted because I didn’t get to be alone like I needed to be to carry out my plan. Of late it is almost comical how bad my luck has been!!!!!!!!!! Obviously I know I just have to bide my time and wait for […]

FYI – Article: Lawrence Egbert: The new Dr. Death

Lawrence Egbert: The new Dr. Death

"Dr Death"

With Jack Kevorkian gone, says Manuel Roig-Franzia, this 84-year-old doctor is the new face of assisted suicide

LAWRENCE EGBERT COMES to his cramped third-story office almost every weekday, taking calls on an old white push-button phone with a handset darkened by years of smudged newsprint and perspiration. Egbert, a slightly built, genial, and energetic retired anesthesiologist, turns to his computer, content to answer an email while I sort through a pile of plastic tubing in a lumpy white garbage bag. Once I finish untangling the tubes, I hold in my hands a curious […]

Why suicide is a lousy idea (most of the time)!

by drukdeur 3/14/2009

written by drukdeur

Before I get flamed as one of those “goody two shoes”, this is not going to be a post about why suicide is morally wrong, or trying to convert you to any religion.Â I am an agnostic, and I really don’t believe in forcing my morality on anyone.

I think suicide is justified in some cases: if I were to have a terminal illness, and I would be enduring a lot of pain until I die, I would consider an assisted suicide as an option.Â However, when it comes to emotional pain, I think suicide is not a great option, and here’s why:

(1) We are animals, […]
