Assisted Suicide
Yes, she's a brave lady and my friend is kind. I'm thinking, when the time comes I may go too, my friend may need some support on the journey home?
Yes it's a shame people have to travel so far and yet it's a beautiful country to pass over in.
If I was very sick, or if I thought I'd become a burden to those i love, I'd consider it. My dad used to say to me "if I become a pain in the arse or a burden, shoot me or give me a cynide pill lol. Love that mindset and I've adopted it too.

Yes 💔....
I have been thinking about this assisted suicide for a while too.
Are you sick Kittens?
Posted by Antiphates
Sure.
Would you consider it for yourself if you were in a lot of incurable pain?

Would you be willing to accompany a friend or family member to Dignitas in Switzerland to be there for their assisted suicide? A friend of mine has been asked by a friend to accompany her when the times comes. She is in terrible physical pain which is getting worse as time goes on and she has decided not to prolong the agony.
My friend has granted her friend their wish and says she will support her when the times comes.
Would you do this for someone you cared for?

I dunno, I'd really want to be there for someone and support them but that would be really hard 😢

I already did consider it for myself even without any concrete physical pain.click to expand
I haven't looked into it, but i wonder what the conditions are, i.e. is it only allowed for very sick people who need proof of their conditions from a medical specialist?

I guess it's about putting your feelings last, but yes it would be very hard. When my dad wanted to die (naturally) i kept holding on to him until he asked me to let go of him, when I did, he passed very peacefully, God bless him. He was suicidal all of his llfe because of an abusive childhood.. 😥
Yes, but it would depend.
If it was medically based decision, yes.
But if they were physically fit, but had emotional reasons why. No. I recognize mental issues really need to be looked into and helped. But I just couldn't support it.

Can't speak for dignitas but the usual conditions usually are terminal illness with no hope of recovery. Mental illnesses like depression etc. don't count and you would need proof, yes. In the case of dignitas you also need some money to cover the costs I think.
I think in the Netherlands you can go for any reason. I think you might have to be a citizen there though.
Yep, but there is a testing process of months involved and the current law has been questioned a lot lately.
Remains to be seen how it goes in the future.click to expand
Makes sense that there’s stringent testing in place.
I’ve often thought about working in a hospice and working with the dying. I’ve had so many family members and friends pass, I think I’d be able for it.

I may accompany someone. It’s a possibility.
Have you been asked Damous? Are there many places do it in the US?

Someone very close to me has looked at numerous places to end themselves. It’s an option for them. As far as how much I know - not much. Shrug, most I know is that you’ve gotta be terminally ill / exhausted all options for what ails youclick to expand
Okay thanks Damous
Absolutely!
Anybody needs me - just ask.
It’s SO strange that last night I was asking a group of friends about it and I was told some of our states like OR having this possibility and more states chiming in. I was however wondering what if person is unable to express their wish. Will living will the way to go in this case?

I am wondering when do you get comfortable enough to do it in the company of a woman you’re seeing?
I am reading now a thread on some forum, where the OP was not happy with splitting the bill evenly amongs the group as the OP had significantly less consumption and wanted to pay only for her own food/drinks, but was told she is ruining the meal and the a
Got new phones Xs...my texts with people are GONE! What do I do to get them back? 😩😭
don't call people by their name?
Like EVER.
Even when dating or just texting a person, I always stick with "hey" When someone calls me by my name, it sounds so foreign and proper to me and I don't understand why they are using it. Like I'm in some type

Ok. I've done something behind your back...I'll send you an email.
I had to because I've met someone yesterday and I just did it!
Email sent...🤦♀️
What would you do?
The conversation on the front page about metal straws got me thinking..
Sure, the rain forest is on fire..
Sure, the ocean is littered..
Sure, people are killing people..
Sure, the world is a mess..
But that doesn't matter. Planet earth doesn't matter.
