Working in a rehab/nursing home, I have no problem with this. People should have the right to choose to live or not. I could probably get her half a dozen sales to people that wish their family would just let them die and stop prolonging their life.

The first comment hit the nail on the head.
....."This country HAS to wake up to the suffering the AMA, religous fanatics and conventional medicine has caused, and make it right. We treat our animals with far greater compassion than we treat our fellow humans. Something is so screwed up with that logic". |

I know one thing for a fact. Anybody on here who says suicide or death panels are wrong, you've never worked in a hospital. Work in a hospital and get back to me. I fully, fully support assisted suicide and death panels. You could euthanize probably 25% of the patients in a typical hospital and that'd be the best thing that could ever happen to them.
If I did half the shit to a dog or a cat that happens to 100 year old full code patients in a hospital daily, I'd get arrested, and ARFCOM would fully dogpile me as being a horrible person who needs to die a slow death.

Basically if that fascist fundy passes a law banning those kits he'll pass a law that bans "thought crime". (won't be the first time)
If you take PERFECTLY LEGAL ITEMS and bundle them together like fish tank tubing and plastic bags and stopcocks, and then just put the words "SUICIDE KIT" how the fuck is that in any way illegal? Unless you just don't like the "context" of it saying "Suicide kit". 
OMG! ban items purely on CONTEXT! do it for da chillens. HEy this gives me an idear, get duct tape, rope and burlap bag and sell it as "kidnapper kit". 
I'm sure every nanny stater will try to pass a law, "The selling of burlap bags and rope together is hereby prohibited. Only after a 24 hours period has passed can someone who has purchased one said item can then purchase the other........unless it's on Sunday at which point purchasee must wait 48 hours. Going to another store to purchase prohibited items within 24 hours is a class A felony." |

Quoted:
The "recognize-my-right-to-die" argument is weak-fu. It's not like anyone who really wanted to off themselves couldn't do it. The "if you want to, do it" argument is pretty weak, too. Not least because people who try are basically universally hospitalized, where they are closely monitored. Not to mention the fact that attempting suicide is basically considered prima facie evidence of being a nutcase, so if someone tries to put their affairs in order and then knock themselves off they've handed a golden ticket to anyone who wants to fuck with their will. Furthermore, the ad-hoc, jury-rigged methods by which people generally choose to kill themselves tend to be messy or painful, while the pain free (indeed, even narcotic) methods are heavily controlled. I think it's a question of being allowed to commit suicide with some kind of dignity and respect, rather than having to bullshit and ham-hand your way through it. |

She's 91! Typical know it all arfcomer, with no real life experience. You think you know what your talking about but you have no idea what really goes on surrounding death. Spend one week on a cardio, renal or oncology floor and you will change your tune quickly. When you see patients who can't even wipe their own ass or 45 year old former marathon runners begging their families to simply let them die, I'd luv to hear you say they need to keep living and suffering. It is easy to force someone else to live with stage 4 lung cancer and mets to the brain. When it is you laying in that bed, it becomes a different issue. Some people need to be allowed to die or given the means to end their own suffering. I have given people enough morphine that would KILL the average person but they barely feel any pain relief. Live through that for two years and then tell someone their wanting to die argument is weak..... |

I voted no, but the poll was shitty.
I personally hate the concept of suicide. But I believe it is every person's personal choice whether to live or not. If someone is not in their right mind and wants to commit suicide, then fine, have legal avenues to stop them. But if someone lives in chronic pain every day, is too old to ever recover, and is in a hurry for his appointment with Saint Peter, that's really none of my business. |
