Mark Fleischman, the owner of legendary Midtown nightclub Studio 54, died by assisted suicide in Switzerland, a report said. He was 82.
Fleischman was unable to walk and his speech was impaired after getting sick in 2016. Doctors couldn’t diagnose his condition.
“I can’t walk, my speech is f–ked up, and I can’t do anything for myself,” he told The Post last month.

Time to do what? Hold your breath til' you turn blue?
I've never seen an easy or perfected manner actually used.
There is a certain question of the religious downside as well.
Before he owned it.
The ‘religious downside’ will be an issue for the individual.
“Time to do what? Hold your breath til’ you turn blue?”
This guy probably tried your way but didn’t work too well. So he found another way.
I certainly will not judge him for doing what he did. I wasn’t in his shoes. And neither would I judge you if you just decided to hold your breath.
We’ll all find out what we’ll do when the time comes.
You can kill yourself without going to Switzerland. We all know the methods.
No need to involve the medical profession.
Not easy. Someone else has to clean up the mess. Most people are too cowardly to pull it off. I’m sure it’s painless in Switzerland/Holland. Long flight.
Someone has to clean up the mess regardless.
I don’t wish to trigger any suicidal people but there are more and less messy ways to do it. You can choose a less messy.
Doctors are not required. As thousands of suicides a day attest.
It’s just a way of ruining the medical profession.
I had a friend whose cancer became unbearable. He went out to a pit on his farm with two guns, in case one didn’t work.
No mess, no judgment from anyone. Everybody knew what he had been going through.
He had always lived exactly as he wanted to, and when he was old, he died the same way.
So the severely handicapped should off themselves.
Anyone feeling like a burden should off themselves.
Frail elderly, para- and quadraplegics should go to Switzerland if you know what I mean.
Joni Tada is burden to people. Stephen Hawking a waste.
"“I can’t walk, my speech is f–ked up, and I can’t do anything for myself,” he told The Post last month." VALIDATES his mental capacity to analyze.
He had something to say and we probably could've used it.
I have no idea if this guy believed in God, but if he did and had faith, he is saved. God is not going to send him to hell. I used to think people who committed suicide was a one way ticket to hell. No more. God knows what is in our hearts.
Indistinguishable from magic, modern medicine has perfected the technologies that keep a person technically alive up until the point that patient's money and insurance run out. "Be 'patient' old man, you still have some money left!"
People that want to live to age 100 simply need to get rich. Ironically, if people could live to age 200, an average rate of return on investments would make them all billionaires.

Sister had a hard going out - because of laws regarding giving patients seditives people suffer more than they need to. Now that you might not get medical help to relief ones misery it raises a lot of questions how much one should suffer especially over a long haul when you no longer have even the ability to control your thoughts - your personality, your body functions, and your own self awarenesss is all gone.
I question what I never did before - once you see a family member cease to have any characterists of a person you will question, and the medical help is unwilling to relieve that misery because of laws...somethings wrong in our society...very wrong.
Did they let him OD on cocaine?
“I liked to be high. So I would do drugs and drink. Possibly, this [health condition] is because I drank a lot and did drugs,” he told The Post.
Can’t find what his health condition was.
I’d be interestd in what scripture you’re using to take your stand on this issue.
Seems to me there’s is or not the will to live....it’s a choice ...so at what point is suicide any different than a drug addict or alcoholic who are taking their own life every day....it’s just a slower death?
Why do they need assistance? I think it’s to make it “alright” for their own assuagement.
If one feels that strongly about ending it all, there are ways one can do it w/o assistance.
