Put in a gas station and we all know what the name would be. .. Gas grass and chlamydia.

No. Feeling like a burden is not a justification for suicide. It's not normally, and that doesn't change at the end of life. And how will we be certain that every medically assisted suicide will be done to someone that can actually consent to it? Dying people are not known for their mental faculties.

>I've seen enough dying people in my life to know that they ARE a burden

And so, you'd prefer they feel pressured to kill themselves because of it?

Because boobies

Amazing. Would love to be in those uncomfortable board meetings the town will have. Btw there’s no way that gets passed. There’s no way the CCC gives them a license. And there’s no way the town approves it as a dispensary location. Great idea though. Taking big swings. Love it

Why not give them the agency to make that decision for themselves? Trust me, not giving them the choice doesn't make it any better.

My father-in-law is terminally ill, and for him the only thing worse than the physical pain is the emotional distress of knowing that his last days will be be a painful drain of emotional and financial resources on himself and the family he's leaving behind.

I really can't emphasize the agency part enough. Getting a terminal diagnosis is so emotionally difficult, partly because you're officially at the end of the line. There's nothing you or anyone else can do to keep the fight going. You've been stripped of agency in your fight to live, and you don't even have the agency to decide to end it if that's what you want. It contributes to the powerlessness of a terminal diagnosis in such an unnecessary way and is heartbreaking to witness.

That’s not what the article says happened tho…

For sure. As a whole I'd like to see a recommitment to the whole separation of church and state.

This is one of those issues that a lot of people feel uncomfortable facing. Lots of slippery slope arguments, religious/moral arguments, etc. Opinions change when you have a dying, suffering loved one who wants nothing more than to end the pain, and isn't able to. I promise, your take on the subject will quickly shift to "it's absolutely unacceptable that someone in terminal pain doesn't have the agency to end their struggle on their own terms".

Okay? And when the writing is already on the wall, why force EVERYONE involved to have to needlessly suffer more than they already have to?

>Dying people may view themselves as a burden

I'm going to say something awful.

I've seen enough dying people in my life to know that they ARE a burden, almost universally, when that death is drawn out. A horrible burden, one that saps the strength, the will, the hope, and the light out of the people that care for them.

Any dying person that wishes to avoid being that terrible burden on the ones that they love have the God given right to make the choice not to be that burden, and government and a falsely polite society have no right interfering with that.

Dementia has struck every elderly blood related person on my dad's side of the family. Already I can see it coming for him. I know it will come for me too. I will not let my loved ones have to babysit me while I scream in fear, soil myself, and try to call police on the threatening "intruders" who have loved me their entire lives. It's not happening.

I’m just sick of religious people feeling it’s their prerogative to shove their “values” down everyone else’s throat.

Cus Redditors never want to assign blame to any individual for their actions, unless the story is about a cop or Republic obviously.

I got thrown out of there years and years ago during the day with my buddies because the only girl dancing was 9 months pregnant and we couldn't stop laughing.

And I don’t care about how weird it is, people can do whatever they want. I hate to say it but the clientele that attend topless businesses are 90% scumbags

Read again… talking about the future. The first pot clubs are about to open in the state. Places will be able to do it this year… not my scene at all. The last thing I want to do when getting high is to look at topless women who are getting stared at like objects. I’ve never had any desire to go to any topless place. Weird

Everyone knows what it is. Don’t see what’s so wrong with being able to choose to end your life if you’re going to die anyway.

Whoa whoa whoa

Was Haven the club above a Sheriff's station?

Yeah, I looked a few websites that posted their rates and USAA seemed slightly higher

Jugs n Nugs

Why is this being downvoted? You don’t leave a fucking toddler alone in a car, even for a second…

Edit: spelling

Can always just spot the local, we called it that all my life (40ish now)

The problem is a lot of people say the same thing but far too often by the time they're past the point of "if I get like that I'll kill myself" their mind or body isnt there anymore.

During the Big Dig, I remember ads for Foxy Lady breakfasts targeting construction workers billed as "legs and eggs".

why is NY listed here?
