Not at all. People seek attention in alot of ways. Boyfriend or girlfriend breaks up with them. They first call that boyfriend or girlfriend state they cant go on no longer and took whatever pills. Clearly those are people not truly wanting to carry out the suicide. They are looking for that attention. So should they be helped to carry their attempt?
I think one of my greatest fears is having an aweful disease like ALS where I am of complete sound mind but canāt move, essentially locked in syndome. If I ever got ALS, I do the treatment and if no improvement after 6 months or so, Iām out. No way Iām going out locked in my own body.
Does anyone believe the enacting laws were done without the consent of the people through their elected representatives in govt.? That is was done with no public debate? That discussion is conspicuously absent here.

Iām not advocating goverment outlaw assisted euthanasia. But at what point does society fail?
Did society failed this girl? One would think flags were popping up everywhere. But instead they processed with euthanasia.
and government āhealth careā would never think of the cost of the ācureā ā¦
If you can sign a contract, you should have the option. I donāt care about the reasons.
17 is no. If she did it at midnight on her 18th, I wouldnāt care.
Do you know if steps were missed or flags werenāt raised? Do you know the process that her and her doctor went through before this occurred? Where did the āfailā take place?
Itās not āāgovernmentāā approving or disapproving euthanasia. Itās the people of Holland.
Why are you obsessed with making this about the āāgovernmentāā?

I would look back at point when she was first molested at 11ā¦if it was recorded.
Would be interesting if we knew more thou.
Stuff like this doesnāt happen over night.
So boyfriend or girlfriend breaks up with this person, they say they are going to to kill their self. The paramedics are called and this person comes to the emergency room due to on overdose. You think the physicians should let that person die?

Because āsomeā people look to goverment for moral guidance.

But thatās not the same thingā¦ I personally support assisted suicide in the case of terminal illness and other cases of untreatable and extreme physical pain.
But mental diseaseā¦ noā¦ just noā¦

But that is not the case here, and youāre obviscating the facts.
Here is another point to ponder. A person tries to kill their self and doesnt work but leaves them unable to care for their self. Should we pay their health care bill?
Paramedics save people, so Iām assuming you mean physicians standing over the person after theyāve been stabilized.
If theyāre not going to wake up, it should work like every other vegetative state person, no?
If they are awake, and crazy, they donāt have the power to consent to euthanization.
If they can consent properly, then they can go through the proper procedures.
Ok. Youāre inferring a failure led to her assisted suicide. It wasnāt that a process was followed and in the end it was determined assisted suicide was acceptable. I want to know what the failure was.
