When can I be put down?
Been hoping for years that assisted suicide becomes socially acceptable.
Everyone should have the right to choose.
Humanity and society sucks, it’s only fair that we all have an option to die, rather than live.
I don’t want people to have to be near death.
I want to be able to go to a doctor, and ask him to put me down... now that would be ultimate freedom.
Although I have been a failed Catholic for years, my years as an altar boy and attending masses would not allow me to commit suicide.
To do so is to risk eternal damnation.
Eternity is a helluva lot longer than the years we all get to have on this earth.
It certainly gives me pause.
But, your mileage may vary...

You can do it right now, no one is stopping you. It's been done for hundreds of years before this.

"list possible criteria that a patient might set to trigger MAID"
Sounds like the patient, not the Doctor, is making the decision.

Further more... There are some places that won't let you refuse treatment. They'll say you're not mentally fit to make the call. So if you feel your body is on its last leg, and would rather opt out of treatment... Tough luck, rack up the medical bills.
So you think it’s better to be drugged, medicated and placed on an artificial life support machine than allow natural order to intervene?
that is what's really behind the "pro-life" arguments
