I think we should be able to decide our own deaths if we want too, and that should be law.
Come to Canada or certain parts of Europe, we have MAiD.
Now granted, it’s heavily regulated such that you need extensive and documented proof of an unrecoverable decline that will only bring pain and suffering, and you need to pull that ripcord while you are still cognitively capable of giving consent (Canada generally still doesn’t permit advance assent), but it’s there to be used… even my own parents are putting all their ducks in a row to leverage it when it’s time.
I don’t want to die right now lol
But I think I should if wanted to!
I think those programs are a great step forward and it should be regulated indeed, but we still have a long road to go until full body autonomy.
“You have to prove unrecoverable decline” for me that’s the issue. After a mandatory tryout period with a psychiatric, if the person still wants to die that should be up to them, not other people.
