    A better question is how you used the card you were dealt - i.e. will you be satisfied with what you’ve done with your life when the end comes.

    Because if the answer is no and you feel you have to end it sooner than necessary, you haven’t played all your cards yet. If the answer is yes, the end will come all too soon and the question is moot.

    In practical terms, there is nothing stopping you nor anyone else. To be cold and scynical, someone will clean up the mess afterwards.

    But in what form do we want to see such right come into full fruition?

    And I am not against the right to dispose of our life as we see fit; I’ve been too close to human misery in sickness and age to be that calous.

      That is what perplex’s me. How people heavily disagree with that right. I mean if a loved one was going thru advanced stage cancer and rotting away and asking to be out of the misery they would sing a different tune.

        I’m with you. Even before I did any end of life and hospice care, I believed in the principle. But after seeing what death is really like, I’m an adamant proponent of the right

    1. You can. The fact that it’s illegal (is it actually illegal? I realise i don’t know) won’t be a problem once you’re gone.
    2. There’s a whole life inbetween the beginning and the end, they don’t really have much to do with if your life has been full or not imo.

      The illegality is mostly relevant in the sense that it prevents other from providing assistance and may impose some sort of duty to intervene, even if said intervention is simply calling emergency services.
