Lmao people downvoting without sharing their disagreement
i think the pressure of doctors is wrong; no one should be swayed into a certain way of thinking solely because of selfish interests but i don't think it is all that case. i truly agree with serina in this chapter because it's selfish for you to tell someone to keep living a life of suffering. let's say the doctor says you are going to live but you will forever live in pain, would you want to wait on technology to solve it even though a painful life is guaranteed.. pain is a part of life there's no denying that but the pain i am describing is excruciating and to the extent where you cannot do a single thing for yourself. there are so many ways to look at medical assistance in death but in the end it all comes down to how you view what is considered morally correct
If its mental pain you should not do it. Even physical pain to an extent. Even then you should do it personally, not make the medical system do it for you. Hell recently in Canada a woman was basically murdered because the husband couldn't take care of her any more, she wanted to live but they killed her anyways
It always ends up killing the vulnurable in society
so it is better to live each day in excruciating pain... assistance in death is not the same as suicide. i agree in the mental issue part and i think the government needs to put more funding and focus into rehabilitation but should we encourage people to privately commit suicide. medical assistance in death is often done in a painless way as they have access to resources, most who commit suicide don't have that privilege and it is rather painful. i hope that woman rests in peace; no one should have been pressured into accepting death. there are many cases of people who want to die in the hands of their loved ones or before an illness gets worse. it is not fair to judge people and take away that, it's a controversial subject but i don't think it is wrong for it to be a option
Its the same as suicide. In switzerland you also have evidence of a doctor manually literally killing a person by choking them. Its suicide or murder. Vulnurable people are being pushed towards assisted suicide simply because it saves money for the government
Theres been multiple cases, especially in Canada. Where they push assisted suicide on patients purely because its cheaper than medical care. They are killing their own population to save money
