"In a country that touts itself for "individual freedom" and "self-determination" unencumbered by burdensome government meddling... yes, the right to die with dignity and when one has deemed oneself ready, in the most humane way possible is... or ought to be... just a basic fucking right."
I think I've said this before to other people in my family, and friends. "If I ever start to get like that, where I can't take care of myself, and I lose that kind of consciousness, I want somebody to kill me." It's sad and undignified to live a life where you are nothing more than a burden to others. It's one of the things I wonder about when I think about the future.
and then the thread devolves into pain tolerance...
