Imagine doing that, and then accidentally hitting the button.
If you're planning on hotboxing, you've likely replaced the "you die now!" functionality with "erryday".

Good.

I've worked in elder care for years, and a hard truth that no one wants to face is that a lot of those people would just rather die. I've had people tell me to my face. And here's a clip.

And thats not even touching on people with a terminal illness.

If we'll put our pets down at the first sign of suffering, we should have the same thing for our loved ones.

They cost your entire life savings.

Because this is a business and not like you're going to need that money anyway.
then a free try shouldn't be a problem, i wanna see if it actually does the job

I'm shocked.

Is this a culling the herd move?

I'm not serious. Just...I'm shocked. Hadn't heard anything about these before.

Switzerland has had assisted suicide for a while this is the first time they're selling DIY kits though.

Im all for freedom and choice etc but this is a little dark for me. Is it only for those with debilitating pain etc or can anyone hop into a pod?

If the latter there should be a waiting period before you can go through with it. Also I wouldnt allow anyone with children etc to do it.

It seems a lot can go wrong with this, IMO I would lean toward not making these legal.

Good. The ability to choose the time and place of your own death should be a basic human right.

Yes, but also, a lot of people get to a temporary state where they think suicide is a good idea. Suicide should be contemplated the same way you write a will, or take out a mortgage.

Too bad they can't legalize psychiatric counseling pods instead, but I guess Switzerland would rather kill the mentally ill than try to treat them. It's not terribly surprising given that Switzerland literally pioneered the eugenics movement, right down to murdering the first "unfit" person.

Im going to assume you can only get a pod if you have a terminal illness or are above a certain age.

I was born with a serious organ disease. My medical history would give some people nightmares and i feel like i live with knives in my abdomen. Anyone against euthanasia has no idea what it's like. Before finding my soulmate, i would have done anything for legal euthanasia. Sometimes i wish no one cared so i could let the growths spread. Society claiming they have rights over your existence, is just proof that you are viewed as a material object for the system to thrive thru.

Sure, I can respect that. But I've spent enough time in nursing homes to see what time and terminal illnesses do to people. My grandmother died from complications related to parkinson's. She was eventually so rigid that she could not move any part of her body. Her arms and legs twisted at unnatural angles, he fingers and toes curled up like claws. She could not speak coherently. The worst part though was that she entirely there mentally. Which means she was trapped in her body. Entirely reliant on other people for everything. Feeding her, bathing her, taking her to the bathroom and cleaning her up afterwards, she couldn't even change the channel on the TV that she was stuck day in and day out watching. She was ready to die but her body kept her alive. She deserved to be able to choose to die, but was not allowed to.

I watched my father be eaten alive by two different kinds of cancer. He died gasping for air in a hospital bed. I made plans for my own way out if my cancer hadn't responded to treatment. People deserve to have a say in the way they die and when they do it.

Im sorry that sounds horrible. Im all for assisted suicide I only ask they put safe guards in place to avoid some of the issues raised in this topic.

With it doubling as a coffin, I can see why it would cost some money.

I'd like to know if I can get it customized.
