Which is the best country for assisted suicide?

I just want to go inside the clinic and say "hello, can you please kill me?" and then die. Does someone have experience and knows which clinic kills you the fastest? Thank you.

Switzerland. But the boredom might get you first.

What a sad topic. It’s more worthwhile to be loving towards others than self destructive. It’s heartbreaking that no worth can be found for these people and “compassion” only in the business of wiping someone out.

Why not go for somewhere you can get murdered easily? Same thing really and you can even be remembered as a martyr.

I dare you to come back and say that when you're terminally ill, in pain all the time and subject to humiliation like not being able to do anything for yourself.

R5 Walking around hoping to be murdered is a fool's errand but 'suicide by cop' is a thing. Get a gun and wave it about, threaten to shoot people up (do NOT shoot anyone, however) and the cops will probably do it for you.

OP the US is. A short wait depending on your state and then you can be gone. Suicide by Second Amendment if someone is actually serious and not just looking for a thread topic .

by Anonymousreply 10February 12, 2024 11:33 AM

And slightly off topic

Why is it that when the state does an assisted killing we often get stories of terrible suffering and several tries and lots of unplesant suffering?

And they seem to be looking for more humane ways to admin assisted killings if for no other reason than to stop these terrible stories of suffering.

I wonder if assisted suicide in countries that offer it is as pleasant as we are Jed to believe.

Do you mean death row prisoner executions R11?

R12

Yes

by Anonymousreply 13February 12, 2024 11:51 AM

So you're talking about death row executions: of course, there's a big campaign to abolish that so they're going to hype up all potential/unknown negative effects of methods. (Do not necessarily believe the propaganda.) However, I can't see most of the methods being much worse or better than a 'natural' death which has more chance of being painful, humiliating and drawn-out.

by Anonymousreply 14February 12, 2024 11:53 AM

R13/R11 - assisted suicide and the death penalty are two incredibly different things. I don't support the death penalty but I do support having the choice to take up assisted suicide if a person wants to for whatever reason. That's our choice not the choice of controlling religions. I live in a country where there is legal assisted suicide and I would seriously consider it if I were diagnosed with dementia or a terminal illness which became too much to live with. It's good to have the choice if it's ever needed.

What if you don’t want to leave a mess for some poor person to stumble upon?

by Anonymousreply 17February 12, 2024 12:06 PM

The Death by Dignity law is very limited. You must be diagnosed as terminal and expected to die naturally within 6 months. It’s really only meant to be for people in a lot of physical pain.

A walk in the woods and a call to 911. Police and fire deal with this kind of mess all the time.

by Anonymousreply 19February 12, 2024 12:45 PM

Why do you ask? Are you terminally ill? The world is cruel, OP. If you court death she will come. Do you have weapons? Please do not harm yourself.

I know enough about plants and what to use, then I have a stockpile of narcotics to push it along.

by Anonymousreply 21February 12, 2024 4:52 PM

Not only that in Oregon, R18. It takes ***three*** doctors independent of one another to each conclude that you have only six months to live and, when it comes to it, you must be able to administer the fatal dose to yourself. No one else can do it for you.

But once you meet those criteria, there you go.

If you can’t it’s because you spend too much time in the gym working out and with good results. I read it on DL so it must be true.

R22, wow. I had no idea. Thanks for the information.

I just found out someone I knew took his own life. very sad.

by Anonymousreply 25July 23, 2024 7:28 AM

R8 I hope you were joking but just in case that not: that's an asshole move. The shooter has to live all his life afterwards in the knowledge to have killed another human being. Awful.

Obviously Switzerland if you're in Europe. You can even go alone if you're able to and you don't have to live there first.

In the US, assisted dying is legal in the following states but you do have to be a resident.

California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Montana, Maine, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington.

A good way to get gone? There are many. The reality is that people that don’t care deserve to be punished with your presence simply because they are assholes. We live in a world where physically disabled people are congratulated for dying rather than admired for persisting against all odds. A guy I previously liked posted something about an autistic person that had a good job, he posted that the person had Down’s syndrome and banned the person from a group of 1000. Same guy who calls himself an “compassionate leader” also mocked the person in this manner- he asked everyone if they were going to a social gathering and then banned the person he hated in front of all of them. He subsequently asked the same person “how is your mother?” about a person whose mom almost bled out from a stomach tumor who said she was staying as logical as possible about it. And he then mocked the person for being arrogant by saying “do you think you’re superior to everyone else?”

That’s really the pinnacle of pointless bitchery
