As for state-approved options to alleviate those, it's entirely possible that none exist. That's certainly what I believe, even if you don't.
But we're not really talking suicide here, but conspiracy to commit murder. It doesn't get much more selfish than that.
Ah. I retract my prior.
Quashing debate for religious reasons or because it’s unpleasant to discuss and easier to let the State come up with a solution...
Appalling. Worse that I stepped into the arena and others are just watching. But that’s Ok. I can fight my own battles. The problem is that this social problem will only get worse and, lacking individual rights, will be relegated to backroom/black market scenarios where the State doesn’t end up making the decision for those poor people and/or the families.
Or, worse, convalescent homes will be ‘the next big thing’, business-wise (I type that simultaneously with seriousness & sarcasm).
This is not about suicide or, as you put it, ‘murder’, but dignity and individual rights, both in life AND death and, as I’m finding, tends to expose the most deep-seated hypocrisies from those that oppose it.
