I do not understand why this is news. People keep posting this on facebook and when I pointed out that the fact that she decided to move to a different state just to get this pill was retarded some randoms started blasting me. I do not understand this mentality - This is not NEWS, she is not fighting for the right to die because no one is stopping her. Suicide is not fucking illegal and even if it was how does one enforce such a law? Fuck CNN.

Self-preservation is a tough ass son of a bitch.

Imagine you're not a deranged drug addict fuck up without any regard for human life who doesn't even blink when he sees extreme torture but someone with a nice life and nice thoughts and then BAM! Terminal Cancer. 80% of this forum consists of suicidal psychos and we are all still alive.

"Just fucking kill yourself". Yea, no, it's not that easy. Getting medical help to kill yourself should be a fucking right. I can't imagine how it would feel to swallow that single pill and know it's over, though. I probably wouldn't have the guts to swallow it but yea, I think it's a good thing.

 

Even the most simple of living organisms, such as single-celled bacteria, are typically under intense selective pressure to evolve a response to avoid a damaging environment, if such an environment exists. Self-preservation is therefore an almost universal hallmark of life.

Getting the pill from a medical professional vs buying it on the net - you still have to take the pill yourself. No institution should be forced to kill you just because you're too pussy to do it yourself.

[RisiR]

You're an idiot.

[theKit]

and you lost this argument in exactly one post.

Wait, if we have these magic, painless, life-ending pills, why aren't they being used for executions? Why are we getting all of these painful fuck-ups on death row?

[RisiR]

Oh no, looks like I'll have to move to suicide pill city now.

Have you ever been to a hospital or trusted a doctor?

This is a good fucking question.

I'm not sure what RisR is imply with his last post. But I'm assuming the first line is sarcastic so it agrees with my assertion that this bitch is retarded to moving just got get a pill she could have got in the mail. The second line - Yes and No. Fuck doctors they make mistakes too which makes this bitch even more dumb for going on vacation and offing herself instead of making that baby she said she wanted. 

[RisiR]

True, doctors can be huge shitheads but normal people trust them and that white coats comfort them.

Kicking the stool because you are The Duke and getting a Euthanasia treatment from professionals because you have terminal cancer are not really comparable anyway.

What a fucking piece of shit bitches about a girl with cancer that wants to die in a controlled environment?

This is the issue that prompted this thread - I NEVER SAID SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO OFF HERSELF. The News use these fucking tear jerking circumstances and peoples brains just shut off. I'm talking about CNN - I'm talking about the law - Not this dumb bitch. Anytime someone says something negative about ANYTHING associated with this news bait you get this ridiculous response from idiots.


Is it also not retarded they didn't wait until she was actually dead to release this? What if she changes her mind? Now I'm sure she feels obligated to kill herself now that shes being seen as this human rights martyr.

[RisiR]

You watch CNN and then you bitch about it. You're an idiot.

Suicide actually is illegal in most states.

If you find out you have a terminal illness that there is no cure for and fail to commit suicide, they most likely give you a 5150 and if you try it again while in the facility, they put you in restraints or lock you in a safe room where you have to listen to the thoughts in your head and you wait there like a piece of meat until you finally get the 3rd chance to do it again.

It doesn't seem fair for any of us to judge her in her decision of moving to Oregon to go through with this her way.  We don't know her circumstances, but it's her life to live as she sees fit.  A lot of people take issue with breaking the law, and that's okay.

One news story that didn't get the attention it deserved imo was the death of Sandra Bem.  World famous psychologist opted to go this route the illegal way, purchased the stuff online and died peacefully surrounded by family.  More states should adopt this law that Oregon and other progressive countries have.  Kinda think it's an inevitability now though.  As time goes on the number of old people grows, and already we lack the resources to care for them.  Something has to change, and if they choose to end their own lives then this an option that really should be available to them.

Yeah, it should be a right for you to have someone else have to kill you because you can't fucking do it yourself. :rolleyes:

If you don't wanna live, that's your own problem, not someone else's. I can only see it being ethically-acceptable if you don't have any friends/family, but to put those people through your suicide, that's a pretty fucking shitty thing to do to your family. Of course, there can be (albeit few) exceptions, but only in the most extreme cases could I see it not being the most selfish decision someone could ever make.
