My friend with muscular dystrophy did this in Australia. It all seemed very peaceful and humane.
My father had a stroke and heart attack while working. He was brain dead and there was nothing the hospital could do for him. He was taken off life support, and I watched him die for like 6 hours.
It continues to haunt me after years of therapy. I wish the U.S. had the ability to let people die peacefully rather than watch them die in agonizing pain.
Assuming he was brain dead, at least he probably didn't consciously experience that pain, in spite of whatever involuntary bodily spasms he might've made on life support. The man you knew died painlessly at least, and I hope that brings you some peace.
Based on your description, I don't think your father would have qualified for MAID in its current form - recipients must be able to provide informed consent immediately before receiving medical assistance in dying, with very narrow exceptions.
I'm not crying, you're crying! 😢 😭 🥲
This is such a beautiful story.
Damn you, onion cutting ninjas!
My wife and I agreed when we hit 70 we are taking a bottle of Valium and shooting black tar heroin for the first time. Sucks to be an American but we going out with a bang. I hope we both live long enough to do it together. We won't be afraid.
If you're in America and not already 69 I'm not optimistic of your chances of making 70.
Easy to say that till the time comes. Don't spread negativity its contagious.
Also just because your American doesn't mean your life and how you choose to live are simply thrown away like trash some things will be out of your control but you can still focus on what you can control to improve. Don't let negativity consume you all I'm saying.
Well maybe do heroin once, come down then piece out
