you’re going to have to qualify that……….unless you’re a Hindu.

To those who don't believe (I can understand this if they haven't had proof personally) all I say is to bear it in mind. That way, when your time comes and you 'wake up dead', it won't be as surprising, confusing or even frightening.

It's not unknown for some people not to know that they've 'died'. They can still see, hear, think etc and so initially it doesn't occur to them that this change has happened.
This is next level batshit

I don’t know where to start.

“Wake up dead”? Do you know many awoken dead people? That have explained this to you?

Instead of forcing people to drink a bottle of whiskey and blow their brains out, Can’t we give them a more less stressful way out, in a clinic?


My point being, we should not, as a society, be allowing depressed, troubled, or other issue, healthy adult wishing to think they have no value, nothing to offer to the world, or to themselves, and wanting to end it. They need to be counselled.

Assisted suicide should, in general, only be considered for terminally ill were you are going to deteriorate beyond the state of the person you are, and can no longer function as you. A clumsy definition but. I.e. MND, Alzheimer’s (difficult one to sort)

Or were the illness is too painful to continue with or leaves you with no quality of life

There are definitions we can work on.

But healthy people should be allowed to be euthanised
