Someone we know my an announcement on social media that in her 30s she was choosing to end her life and waa approved to end her life in another country. Her message posted on social media was confusing and unsettling to pretty much everyone that knew her that we know.
She said she had an incurable disease that wasn't that bad but was choosing to end her life before it got bad because her life wouldn't be the way she imagined it and that we'd never hear from her again. I think that line sort of stuck with us. That life wasn't worth living if it was as someone less abled or exactly as imagined. I'm very pro assisted death. I don't understand how we can put animals down and watched loved ones suffer, but this one just feels so... |

I don't know if this is real or not, but honestly, I'm OK with this.

| If SHE isn't ok with her condition, it doesn't matter a single flying f*** what you or anyone else thinks. How dare you think you know better than her. "wasn't that bad". GFY op. |

| I doubt it was because she just didnt want to be "less abled." If she has a degenerative condition, she might want to go out now, rather than just wait for her QOL to degrade until she's miserable or incapacitated, or even unable to end her own life anymore. |

| Sorry, we need a list for which this is allowed. I have several incurable diseases that make my life less. |

I hear you op. I didn’t used to buy into “slippery slope” arguments, but I’ve read too many horror stories around assisted suicide to not be concerned.
I was suicidal in my past, and I think there’s a real danger of allowing people who are actually suffering from temporary depression to kill themselves. I think it’s very possible that’s the case for your friend. |

God permits people to kill themselves all the time. |

| I have no problem with this. It's her life. It's not a spur of the moment decision. |

| This is definitely very unsettling. I support it but it's haunting. She's 30. That in and of itself is super unsettling. |

| She should have talked to hospice in the US. |

| She wants people to start assuring her how they want her in their lives. This is attention seeking. If she really wanted to do it she would have someone post after her death. |

| Also she is selfish as she isn’t thinking about her parents. No child has a right to go before their parents are gone unless it’s something truly morbid |
