  • Oh no, don’t get me wrong, I agree with you on that one, and I also don’t think the family thing should be a thing, but I also don’t think you should be able to knock on their door and ask “Could you help me die?” and they just say yes. It should be easier, but not that easy. And while I do agree that gender reassignment as well as abortion need to be more easily accessible, I think there’s a big difference between those two and assisted suicide. The former are about how you wanna live your life, the latter about how you wanna end it.

    Please don’t take this the wrong way, I’m just trying to explain why I disagree about hurdles in general, but not about these hurdles in particular. I think you deserve access to whatever you deem necessary, love, and you have suffered enough. I still believe that with proper healthcare treatment, you wouldn’t have to be in this situation, but we both know it’s not your fault it is this way. I hope this makes sense, and you don’t feel offended by what I’m saying meow-hug


  • I think the main problem with assisted suicide is that the providers are afraid of allowing someone to die who could be saved/treated to become well again. Furthermore, I think they need their assurances that you are of clear mind when you’re making that decision. A family member of any sort is probably one of the safest assurances they can get, though I think any good friend would do. Still, the birth certificates of your parents? How tf are you supposed to get all this stuff??

    I didn’t think it’d be easy to get but yeah, killing yourself like this isn’t easy, and while I agree it’s ridiculously expensive, I do think there should be a lot of hurdles to deter people from choosing death lightly. The relatives thing is beyond me, however. I hope you find a way that works out for you.
