Rhrosty it is not that easy to do it by your own hand these days mate.

Howard pinched our guns, which was the easy way, requiring little skill or ability.

I once threw up, just because I had an inch or so of wooden splinter sticking out of my big toe, so anything with much blood, like wrist slashing, is out for me, & many others.

Jumping off the harbor bridge is only possible for those who are fit enough to climb the damn thing, & if you are that fit, why jump? Not many know much about poisons, or have the ability to acquire them making them a bit difficult too.

We have the problem with many things, that once one really wants to get out of their lives, they are no longer mobile enough to do much to help themselves.

I often wonder how many single vehicle accidents, on straight roads, involving elderly drivers may be suicide events.

Even this requires one to still have access to a car, & the ability to get into the damn thing as well. This then requires one to go, while there might still be some pleasure in life.

Still as an old racer it has most appeal to me, if done properly. Lets face it you would not be worried about getting booked for speeding, so at high enough speed it would be very quick, so probably basically painless, & you could thumb your nose at those clowns who reckon you can't take it with you, as you go. Well, at least with one car, you can.

Now where is that Rolls Royce dealer?

Rhosty, I doubt many voluntary euthanasia advocates are looking for this to be legalised so doctors can euthanise all the lonely or depressed elderly.

Most want this option should they be already palliative and in untreatable pain or severe discomfort, like uncontrollable vomiting or diarrhoea or seizures etc. I believe people should be diagnosed as palliative before they can even ask for any legalised euthanasia.

I have personally seen these awful deaths many times over the years, and if I could have legally helped those screaming for relief, I would have.
Palliative care services are improving all the time, but believe me, there are still some poor dying people they really can't help....

We don't need morphine. We just need Zyklon ZZZ.

Q: Why are gulags better than hospices?

A: You don't have to die naturally in gulags.

If choice was truly an illusion, no one would be able to commit suicide. Period.
