Euthanasia, Death and General Anesthetics.

Had GA for the first time earlier this year. Was fucking brilliant to be fair, thinking “nah I’m not feeling anything, no way am I off to sleep” then conking out in the next seconds.

Darkness and nothing else. Best kip I’ve ever had! And the morphine drip upon coming round was a fucking excellent evening, too.

OK to start with, this is not a thread about getting rid of @Blue Mist or WW anybody else.
I was thinking about this last night. I dont know how many have had a GA but its fucking wonderfull, I'm not surprised Michael fucking Jackson had one every night. You attempt to count to 10, you get to about 3 and thats it, you conk out, into the complete void of nothingness. You dont dream, there is quite simply, nothing, like I imagine being dead. Its not like sleeping, nothing wakes you up, you dont struggle to go to sleep, you dont need a piss etc etc.

Anyway, Im getting on a bit now, 68, I dont know how long Im here but if I ever get some shite illness, and its terminal, Id love to be given a GA, put me to sleep please, once you go under theres no more problems, quandaries', relationships, aches and pains, doctors visits, money to worry about. Its all over rover. Your endless sleep.
I really dont want to go through weeks/months of chemo, hospitals, doctors, feeling sick and knowing the end is nigh. I dont want to think about death. Just put me to sleep.

We do this to dogs and cats, why the fuck should they get an easy way out and we cant ?

Although slightly unrelated......Just in case there are newcomers who never saw my Death Clock thread you can get get an approximate time of death here.

Pop down to Victoria if it's not legal in Queensland mate. MIL offed herself there - chose our wedding anniversary to do it too because we didn't invite the evil old krone to the wedding.

Is it legal now there mate ? I remember hearing it discussed.
Mind you going on the 2 hour flight to Melbourne is like going to a different country these days. Ive tried twice in the last 18 months, Fucking Australia, its like 7 different countries.
 
My mum passed away after cancer appeared for the second time and it was very quick
My dad suffered with lung failure and again was relatively quick
Both still had their faculties about them

My auntie, the last of that generation lived alone and fell over in her lounge. She broke her hip and we were told that it was a life threatening illness for someone of that age. However she battled through it but then became delusional and suffered with dementia, meaning full time care
Myself and my daughter visited her in the second care home and it really was a One flew over the cuckoo's nest establishment. When we left the building we both burst out crying
Auntie Olga's body refused to give up and her suffering to me was unimaginable before she finally passed away
Following that I've said to my family that if I'm going down that road, please help me get an appointment at Dignitas
 
I heard somewhere that back int day, the general idea was that it would be horrific to die quick and painlessly. That people thought that was the worst way to go.. because, if you die in your sleep or spontaneously combust or whatever, you don't get to tell your loved ones you love them and say goodbye to them.
I think it's a load of shit, there is no way my loved ones won't know that I loved them if I suddenly took one in the chest, or jumped off a bridge.
It would be nice to have some good last words I suppose but apart from that I'll take the quick and painless death thanks.

I feel like that's what living is about really.. slowly saying goodbye
