When you force someone's life to end, that's homicide. There should be a name (and a punishment) for forcing someone's life to continue.
"Torture"
Be very careful with this. Suicidal people want their life to end and doctors have to ignore the patient's wishes and pump out the overdose. They do not deserve prosecution.
Sure, but we should also allow assisted suicide done professionally. My body my choice.
I agree, it is a very complex situation and I believe there isn't enough thought given to how suicidal folk are treated. I would have those who are suffering have more freedom of choice than they do now, especially when it comes to a life-altering event. I think not everyone who receives treatment benefits from it, even after several years.
Fuck that, who gives anyone the right to force me to be alive? Fuck anyone who believes they get to have a say on if I choose to continue or not. You are just as bad as the pro lifers
Especially given that most (roughly 80% https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0163834323000130) do not make a repeat attempt.
Such a law would need extremely careful wording
The woman is braindead, which is legally dead in most jurisdictions. Her body is being kept breathing by machines but legally she's dead.
