I'm probably a bit more extreme in my views, but I really agree with Philip Nitschke. Literally everyone should have the option at any time, of course we need to have excellent mental healthcare to prevent unnecessary deaths, but it should be your right to die peacefully if you feel like it.
I don't expect people to really agree with me, but IMO it's just a part of having bodily autonomy. Having access to palative care is also just as much of a right, if that's the option you want.
I was hit by a car in 2014 and am in a slow decline of increasing pain and dysfunction. Disability is hard to get in the USA and pays less than minimum wage. No one can live on minimum wage. The way people are kept alive in a state of constant misery and stress, living in terrible circumstances, and ending up in a ditch on the street; that is far worse than the dignity of dying on your own terms. Just in Los Angeles proper there are an estimated 75k homeless. The Nazis sending the infirm to gas chambers was more humane than what the USA fails to address now. The right to die is an unalienable human right, but one that should never be prescribed or pushed on anyone.
Everyone should have the right but it should take some work and time so that folks are serious about it.
Yes.
I don’t know, but when I worked in retail I definitely wanted to help some people end their lives
