    • I really don’t get the anti-suicide agenda. Because it goes against ‘religion’ or some made up religious dogma? Honest question.hydro74
    • This is the kind of healthcare I need!imbecile

    • Suicide was only made a sin after christian leaders sold the idea of heaven being some amazing place. Then folk living shitty lives started killing themselves..PhanLo
    • ... in multiples, so the church realised it's revenue and slave labour workforce stream would dry up quickly, made it a sin.PhanLo
    • Canada has previous with the trying to get folk to kill themselves, didn't they try to convince homeless folk to euthanize themselves?PhanLo

    • It’s a long process and in extreme cases, they do everything they can to ensure that you are of sound mind and that the family has no influence in the decision_niko
    • I recently went through this with my dad, very difficult for all of us but in the end it was his wish. He was fighting cancer for 9 months and got worse and wor_niko
    • In the end he couldn’t talk, was breathing out of a hole in his neck, eating with a tube straight to his stomach, couldn’t walk, nurses had to change him,_niko
    • And was in a lot of pain. He couldn’t wait for it to happen fast enough, he wanted out immediately but they made him wait 2weeks to go through the proper proced_niko
    • Procedures. It was no life and anyone that tried to talk him out of it, he’d scribble on a pad “trade places with me then”_niko
    • He fought lung and throat cancer for 9 months, had it beat but it came back, and he was in no shape to keep fighting, too weak for chemo and radiation_niko

    • suicide as an option for terminally ill people doesn't sound too bad. as long as they have weighted all other option and of sound mind.pango
    • botched unassisted suicide is also a very painful.pango
    • Jeez Phan, sorry to hear, yeah not pleasant at all which is why the alternative is much better in those situations..._niko
    • Theology is not fact. It’s a belief system, nothing more. His followers would do well to remember this.imbecile
    • The hate for assisted suicide goes against capitalism (American hospitals). Would assume the Hospital Lobby fought this because they lose money.hydro74
    • Interesting debate.. also 'religion' has to be in quotes because is covers all. Atheist ideology isn't religion, so doesn't fall under the 'quotes'. *hugshydro74
