Are you for or against assisted dying (don't confuse it with euthanasia)?

annewimsey500 comments on Mar 15, 2024:

Having lived through several terrible illnesses, died twice ( once by strangulation) and now at 75 there are good days (minimal pain and few mobility issues) and Really Bad Days, and having seen my Mom lose hermind while her body remained strong, and my father having a massive heart attack at 53, very unexpectedly and fatal. I can equivocally state the way my dad went was Incrediblely hard on those left behind, watching my Mom slip away over 8-10 years was Worse, and the way I physically feel more and more makes me long for the lovely peace and dark there was when I was dead. My only option today is I think walk in front of a train...Awful for the engineer, and will I be able to do that when I need too? It is a Horrifying thought, to long for peace and be in a bed unable to get it!!! A Good daughter would have put a pillow over her Mom's face...I was not that daughter and I regret it.

I would welcome the option of a death with dignity when I got too bad....it is So unfair to the train conductor, which is about the only option I can see, since I do not own a gun. Pills are useless, your body will vomit them up the moment you pass out and you will wake up in the Psych Ward. Drowning, iffy, as your body Will swim.......Psych Ward for you! I have already died 2 times in my life and it is perfectly fine, nothing to fear. The older I get the more painful and treacherous my body is and I find myself thinking why the F am I putting up with this, but only sometimes. When it becomes an hourly thought I will have made plans that hopefully I can execute...because that IS the problem, once you want OUT you may be unable to walk to/stand in front of a train...... And as far as someone "wanting my money" If i will not be physically (and mentally, pain is a harsh master) miserable anymore, I promise I will not give a rat's ass!!!!!!!!

(no doubt melting the siding). You don't know much about the actual world, do ya......... I neither water nor fertilize my lawn, just mow to keep the ticks at bay, and the front yard is wall to wall planting that needs nothing but leaf removal in the Spring. But I do like to get out in the back and pick my blackberries and so forth without being attacked by literally dozens of ticks.
