>>69802636People should, unironically, have the right to tap out if they can't go any further and if they don't have the capacity for it then it shouldn't be condemned to help them.
My old man died of cancer last month, by the time the end came we had 2 options:
>Keep pumping him full of blood transfusions and chemo which'd drag it out for another few weeks, maybe 2-3 months tops during which he'd be bed ridden in hospital>Just stop giving him blood, in which case he'd slip into a coma and just go quietlyDoctors wanted to go for the first, he chose the second and he had ever right to.
This is in a country where you can be done for a murder charge for going with a family member to a euthanasia clinic overseas.
What's the difference between that and them slipping him some morphine so he could go a few hours earlier if he'd been in pain otherwise?
Yes it can go too far the other direction, fuck Canada and their 'Depressed, have you tried Suicide (tm)'-isms, but you should have the choice even if you don't have the capacity.
