    Dutch government is considering a law allowing assisted suicide for people who feel they have "completed life". These people will not be necessarily terminally ill.

    Opinions?

    sounds kind of weird but with id be ok with it if they were required to go through a mental assessment first

    Oregon is the only US state where physician assisted suicide is legal. But it isn't NEARLY that lenient. In order to get legal assisted suicide here, you've got to be suffering a terminal illness that is almost a guaranteed death, and consent forms have to be approved by the patient's family members.

    I have mixed feelings about assisted suicide, but I suppose mildly support it. But this Dutch law seems like there could be lots of legal consequences and controversies if just one person said they felt like they "completed life" without the approval of friends and family. Could make for an easy assassination cover up.

    Your life no longer has any value
    Let them tell you what your own life is worth
    There is no compassion as life fades away
    Is self deliverance the choice you have made?

    Contemplate your last breath as you see the face of death
    Contemplate your last breath, breathe slowly breathe.

    Your life in my eyes I cannot perceive
    Crimes of humanity I see and believe.

    Contemplate your last breath, as you see the face of death
    Contemplate your last breath, breathe slowly breathe
    Goodbye...

    Final exit. The practicalities, of self deliverance.

    Better than jumping off a building and landing on someone innocent.

    Wine is fine, but whiskey's quicker
    Suicide is slow with liqueur
    Take a bottle, drown your sorrows
    Then it floods away tomorrows
    Away tomorrows
    Evil thoughts and evil doings
    Cold, alone you hang in ruins
    Thought that you'd escape the reaper
    You can't escape the master keeper
    'Cos you feel life's unreal, and you're living a lie
    Such a shame, who's to blame, and you're wondering why
    Then you ask from your cask, is there life after birth
    What you saw can mean hell on this earth
    Hell on this earth
    Now you live inside a bottle
    The reaper's travelling at full throttle
    It's catching you, but you don't see
    The reaper's you, and the reaper is me


    Breaking laws, knocking doors
    But there's no one at home
    Made your bed, rest your head
    But you lie there and moan
    Where to hide, suicide is the only way out
    Don't you know what it's really about
    Wine is fine, but whiskey's quicker
    Suicide is slow with liqueur
    Take a bottle, drown your sorrows
    Then it floods away tomorrows

    Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah
    Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah
    oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
    Broken your servant I kneel
    (Will you give in to me?)
    It seems what's left of my human side
    Is slowly changing in me
    (Will you give in to me?)
    Looking at my own reflection
    When suddenly it changes
    Violently it changes (oh no)
    There is no turning back now
    You've woken up the demon in me
    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
    You fucker get up come on get down with the sickness
    Madness is the gift, that has been given to me
    I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
    Don't try to deny what you feel
    (Will you give in to me?)
    It seems that all that was good has died
    And is decaying in me
    (Will you give in to me?)
    It seems you're having some trouble
    In dealing with these changes
    Living with these changes (oh no)
    The world is a scary place
    Now that you've woken up the demon in me
    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
    You fucker get up come on get down with the sickness
    Madness is the gift, that has been given to me
    No mommy, don't do it again
    Don't do it again
    I'll be a good boy
    I'll be a good boy, I promise
    No mommy don't hit me
    Why did you have to hit me like that, mommy?
    Don't do it, you're hurting me
    Why did you have to be such a bitch
    Why don't you
    Why don't you just fuck off and die
    Why can't you just fuck off and die
    Why can't you just leave here and die
    Never stick your hand in my face again bitch
    Fuck you
    I don't need this shit
    You stupid sadistic abusive fucking whore
    How would you like to see how it feels mommy
    Here it comes, get ready to die
    Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah
    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
    You fucker get up come on get down with the sickness
    Madness has now come over me

    What the fuck does that have to do with the ethics of otherwise healthy people being allowed to commit suicide?

    So a depressed 18 year old who thinks he's 'completed life' could be eligible for this?

    Seems you haven't completed anything if someone has to assist you.
