Why don't we have Canada's MAiD program here in America? It's very humane to help people achieve a guaranteed unbotched, painless, successful death. And painless assisted suicide should be available in all cases, not just to the terminally ill.Fact is, if we had such a program, suicide would be normalized and the stigma that surrounds it in Western cultures (a stigma originating with Christianity) would disappear. So you'd see, I think, several million people per year use the MAiD's service here in America, people ranging from young to old to healthy to ill, to everything in between.Most people live life's that aren't worth living and this is just a fact of the world that no one can change. Most people cling to life for two reasons: 1) The natural fear of death that comes from the life drive, which is an instinctual, not a rational, basis to cling to life, and 2) Choosing to die is stigmatized in Western societies. If we normalized suicide, thus destigmatizing it, then only the irrational fear of death would be holding most people back from doing what's in fact best for them: achieving death. And suddenly, we'd see at least four million Americans per year achieving deaths they would otherwise not have achieved if we had MAiD. And yes, there is the concern that if we allow assisted suicide, then the option to die will become an expectation to die foisted upon those who are expensive to the system or their families or to both. But what's the problem with this? As I said, most lives are not worth living anyway, so ending more lives is, in the great majority of cases, a good outcome no matter the motives behind it. And finally, many will say, "Well if death is so great, why don't you get to it?"I have every intention to do so in the not too distant future. But I do believe I can do some good by advocating for assisted dying in any circumstances and thus helping lay the groundwork for others to be able to leave this world on their own terms before I do the same.
>>520330280Assisted dying, and the right to die painlessly and in a guaranteed to be unbotched way, is the movement of the future, the main cause of the day, and is so because it's what our societies need today more than anything else.
We have guns. Just shoot yourself.
>>520330379You missed my point. I want suicide destigmatized, which requires a social movement. Just shooting myself doesn't succeed in destigmatizing suicide in the West.
There's assisted dying in my state
>>520331044It needs to be national and for any reason.
>>520330280I'd happily kill American anti-European trumptards for free.
>>520334332This world would be better off without at least 80% of the people who exist in it, including most white people, which I know will offend some people here.Fact is, most people have lives unworthy of living. On top of this, most people are really bad people. Which means we have even more reason to be rid of them, if not by voluntary assisted suicide, then by genociding them.
>>520330280You do. It’s called suspending SNAP benefits

>>520336378But the people needing assisted suicide often aren't even on SNAP. Many are the working poor stuck in dead end jobs with no hope for the future and struggling day to day to survive in an endless and miserable grind. I think all such people would be better off opting for assisted, guaranteed to work, painless, professionally administered euthanasia.Even millions of rich people in America are better off dead, since money is no guarantor of happiness or even contentment. Many wealthy people live drab lives incapable of contentment. Money only helps a person insofar as it helps meet the basic needs of life. Any money beyond that does nothing to increase contentment and, at best, it just gives an fleeting illusion of happiness, like when you buy a new thing, that is doomed to leave you feeling hollow again in short order.
>>520336700And government would save at least hundreds of billions, and in fact trillions of dollars more over the decades, by normalizing and destigmatizing suicide through enacting MAiD in America and making assisted, painless, guaranteed not to be botched death available for any stated (or unstated) reason.Let's just be practical here and drop the penny pinching, dollar foolish libertarianism. We'd be in much better fiscal shape as a country if assisted suicide were legal, available, and ubiquitous.
Does anyone wish to join the growing movement in the US to make assisted dying normal and available everywhere?
