My mom had a medically assisted death and it was the best it could be- peaceful, painless and dignified. She was way past dancing though. I don't see the money making possibilities (but I am Canadian)
A friend's fiancée recently suffered horribly for months/weeks here in Calgary because she was religious and it was god's will. And he slept in her hospital room and witnessed her suffering. Fuck that bullshit. Once my quality of life is totally screwed, I will not make my loved ones deal with that. La Morte Mojito, please.
everything about this ... the fact that we are still fighting to die peacefully IS DISTURBING. Having had a grandmother that suffered from Parkinson's and was misdosed into a state of zombie hood for FIFTEEN YEARS, i have always asked anyone i'm close with if they'll help me when the time comes if they're around. let's get on this! add item to list ... where is our retreat going to be???
My contribution is that there should be midwives as bookends on either side of life. They usher you into and out of corporeal existence. It feels like there's this cultural asymmetry right now that we need to reckon with. Watching DaVinci's Inquest as a kid made me think philosophically about medical assistance for death and dying early on (old CBC show).
I’m childfree by choice, and whenever someone inevitably asks me “who is gonna take care of you when you’re old” I tell them that I’ve never had any intention of outliving the usefulness of my body. One way or another I’m going out when I think it’s time, and it would be awesome to be able to plan my bespoke suicide, to be able to say my goodbyes and float away 🧚
Down for this! I’ve told my wife when the time comes, take me to Oregon, now I know I have options. Also, Season 3 Episode 2 of Atlanta has an assisted death scene that’s wild!
This one isn't for me. I want to live as long as possible. I want to give my assisted living care givers something to talk about some day. I will tell them all my secrets and they will not believe me.
I honestly don't plan on dying. It's such an inconceivable event, that I'm going to just ignore it, like dishes in the sink.
Same. I refuse

The Gentle Death has my undying support 🩷

I know someone who is a death doula! She does this!
Husband and I (and some good friends) were recently discussing the income potential with suicide vacations.
YES! I look forward to a different experience, as strange as that might be to some to say.

Yes! My friend was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s and thankfully she lives in NM because she’s planning on doing gentle death when she decides!
100000% down with this.

Completely on point. I’m down for a dance party death!
Tired: gentle assisted death
Wired: shot-out-of-a-cannon assisted death
And I already have the LLC.
100% on point, as usual.
