Discussion It should be normalized to die when you want to

[Kta1994]

I blame religion and capitalism for people not being able to do so. Dying with natural causes like aneurysm, stroke, heart attack is far more scarier than taking N and going to sleep

That's the good agenda pioneering right to die activists has and the whole assisted suicide movements. You're not alone and the world has already taken action on it.

I agree so much but I unfortunately can't ever see this get implemented for us. What's so scary is that a lot of people would actually rather live in horrific pain just to die as late as possible than to get rid of their suffering even one second earlier via nembutal. All types of natural death honestly seem far worse than most suicide methods to me tbh. If we want to die, we unfortunately have to do it with our own hands as there's no way in hell that people would be willing to free us from this prison. If anything, they actually go out of their way to ensure that we stay in this prison for longer!

They will never make this legal! But it's ok for capital punishment. I don't understand why this topic still exist after millions of suicide and countless unsuccessful attempts. People will always commit suicide, they ultimately can never stop us. You hear these stories about people committing suicide in heinous ways, and I think what awful mental/ physical pain they must of been in to die like that.

What difference does it make to them our choices? I always sum this topic up by sating mental health is a lucrative business and way more profitable with us being alive.

They will never do something like that and if you are suicidal and remember how it was when you were not you can answer this question too: people that never thought about that (seriously) will never understand the feeling behind that decision, the hopelessness, and ultimately the fact that people commit suicide when they are completely sure that dying is much better than living one more day.

This is totally incomprehensible for them, and they are the majority of people. I guarantee you they think that making someone live 'no matter their circumstances' is better than seeing someone dying. Which is of course crazy but yea.

I think capitalism is not related to this mentality (at all), religion yea, in part… but even without those two things into society people would generally consider death bad. That's why they don't have problems with killing someone who's guilty of a crime, but they can't accept the fact that a literal human vegetable should indeed die instead of 'living' on a bed without the possibility of experiencing literal anything.

I too wish it were. It's really not up to any outside parties to decide for us what we can do with our own bodies and lives.

I understand and what I personally find so terrible is how there is no acceptance towards wanting death even know this existence was imposed in the first place, no matter what I'd always prefer to not exist and I suffer so much from how I cannot just have the option to painlessly die in peace. I wish I could simply choose to cease existing and never suffer ever again, as non-existence truly is all I see as desirable, I'd never wish to be burdened with this existence that just causes suffering all for the sake of it and problems there was never a need for, existence just feels like an abomination to me and I'd never wish to be conscious in this terrible, torturous existence no matter what but rather I just want nothingness.

I should be able to peacefully free myself from the imposition of existence and it's such a horrific world where human existence is seen as enslavement with suffering forced and prolonged no matter what with risks of trying to die leading to way worse agony as a result. Human existence truly does feel like the most cruel mistake to me and the thought of prolonging this unnecessary, meaningless suffering there was never a need for with no limit as to how much one can be tortured just to die in agony from old age is so horrifying to me.

It can be a very difficult life. void-filled, emotionally taxing, and physically painful. This pain overwhelms many people to the point where it eliminates their possibility of happiness. Making them continue to live when they don't want to only makes their suffering worse. Why not give them the opportunity to discover the tranquilly they seek?

Life is temporary; nothing lasts forever. Ignoring death only makes it more frightening and difficult to deal with. Death is just a natural way for things to end; it doesn't take away life in an unfair way.

no don't normalize it. fuck them. i don't need their acceptance.
