Your taxpayer $
It’s not an easy issue. I know that when my time comes and I determine that age and ill health make my life no longer worth living, I plan to go out on my own terms, at a time of my choosing.
If we older people become too non cost efficient for the next US government socialist health plan, they will subject us to euthanasia by their decision, not the patient or even the family.
This is being done in other countries as “unwilling assisted suicide” as featured twice on Father Spitzer’s Universe on his EWTN Catholic radio show. They figure out which of the old people cost too much and then set them up as “depressed.” A woman was held down as a doctor came in with a hypo and she knew he was going to kill her and she screamed “I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die.” And he gave her the death injection.
That is the best quote I have heard from anyone on any subject in a while.

Careful. If you say ending your own life is one’s personal decision and not anyone else’s business, including and especially the State, you will get in trouble here.
That is why I am not saying it.

They already have a verb: to Cuomo.
And the same NPR liberals want gun confiscation because of the risk of suicide.
When afflicted with a terminal illness from which there is no hope of recovering, and the end will be agonizing, it’s certainly understandable to want to go out on one’s own terms.
Right to Die quickly turns into Duty to Die.
The State encourages it.
God chooses our time. Suicide is an attempt at autonomy.
My father died from complications of Parkinson’s. A horrible way to go. He would verbally wish for death even before he became terminal. However, I saw how God sent him people who needed his help. He still was carrying out his divine life purpose and lives were changed. We don’t know all the why’s of life, but I trust God’s plan for me.
Government interference is my concern too. It seems like whatever strikes a bureaucrat as a good idea takes on a life of its own and becomes a law. It’s ironic that a society that hasn’t the moral courage to kill savage criminals for their crimes would decide to take people’s lives based on their perceived lack of utility, but experience proves it to be so.
Sounds like you’re wasting valuable air and other resources that morbidly obese poor minorities can utilize right now.
At least that is what the gubmit will eventually determine soon enough.
But, we have to take guns from the people, because most deaths which involve guns are suicides...
And, The State does not regulate those suicides.
Robin Williams. If his physical pain was that bad I could see him offing himself. Others are unforgivable for what it does to their survivors. Pretty selfish.
There was an elderly woman last year who was prohibited from having visits by family or friends last year because of the risks that she could get covid and die. She said that she didn't want to live like that and they killed her “compassionately” because it was a life “not worth living”. The situation of isolation was entirely a man-made construct by the covid creeps but Government and Care Centers had a “solution”. She didn't have to die at all. Loneliness shouldn't be a terminal disease.

Enlisting the help of a medical professional is not kosher by any objective measure.
