should assisted suicide be allowed?

Well spoken

 

Well; thank you, though I had to Google the spelling of dying after I saw in your quote of my post, 'dye'. Lol

 

No

 

A mandatory waiting period of 30 days should be required unless a physician and a psychiatrist certify that the waiting period needs to be waived.

 

Certain serious illnesses yes where people are at the point of no return

 

I just added a poll.

 

Who are you to tell me when I've had enough? Why do you even have a say? I've fought depression for 52 years, yeah I've survived but others may not desire to keep fighting. As long as someone's responsible and limits the trama, I say its up to them. Staying alive simply for others isn't living.

 

There is talk this may roll out in the UK and US soon. It appears it is available in Canada for terminally ill.

 

Yes, it should definitely be legal and permitted. I especially think that nobody should have to endure unbearable, incurable pain. Who other than the person suffering has the right or knowledge to determine whether or not your pain is tolerable? If I'm suffering excruciating pain I should be able to end it if I desire to!!!

 

Yes but, what about those who are old and/or vulnerable whose at risk of family shuffling them off so they get the money? Safeguarding against that is why its passage through parliament in UK has been so long in coming and slow to proceed.

 

There will always be people that try and scam and use the system for their own benefit even at the detriment to others, but that shouldn't deter us from being compassionate to those who are chronically suffering and wish to relieve it!!

 

Yes, and subsidized. Why should only rich people have this luxury?

 

Some issues are not curable. And the person suffers waiting to pass away. It may not be just the pain. But the knowledge that you are dying.That there is no cure. That your options are to lay in a hospital bed suffering. Or being so heavily medicated that your nothing more then a vegetable waiting for it to end.

My wife was in that stage. Cancer made her disabled. Cancer attacked her brain cells . She lost her vision. She lost her body motor skills. She was in consent pain. And the only thing we could do was heavily medicate her till she passed away. She wanted it to end. It finally did months later. But it was not pretty. It was not fair for her, who pleaded for it to end. And it was just as hard on our family watching her suffering. Knowing that her future was not going to improve.
Yes. I would support assisted suicide in such a environment.
