[–] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 1 year ago (4 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] hissingmeerkat@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 year ago "Torture" permalink fedilink source parent [–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (5 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 17 points 1 year ago Sure, but we should also allow assisted suicide done professionally.

Fuck anyone who believes they get to have a say on if I choose to continue or not.

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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago The woman is braindead, which is legally dead in most jurisdictions.
