Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

Come to Canada or certain parts of Europe, we have MAiD.
Now granted, it’s heavily regulated such that you need extensive and documented proof of an unrecoverable decline that will only bring pain and suffering, and you need to pull that ripcord while you are still cognitively capable of giving consent (Canada generally still doesn’t permit advance assent), but it’s there to be used… even my own parents are putting all their ducks in a row to leverage it when it’s time.
I don't want to die right now lol But I think I should if wanted to!
I think those programs are a great step forward and it should be regulated indeed, but we still have a long road to go until full body autonomy.
"You have to prove unrecoverable decline" for me that's the issue. After a mandatory tryout period with a psychiatric, if the person still wants to die that should be up to them, not other people.
