Canada.................not thinking of playing your favourite song for the last time are you? :)

Not me, but the wife is.
That Canada seems like a proper civilised society.

No need for medicine or anything else to end it then?

It's not a goodbye, farewell song so much, but for almost 40 years I've only ever wanted one song played at my funeral, and this is it.

the dance version (settings playback speed 1.75)

no point hanging around!

One of the doctors from the surgery I go to found out he had terminal cancer and threw himself off the railway bridge.

Probably not the way I would go.

To be honest, I think I'd be too scared and would probably just see out my days in pain.

Was this the Doctor from a Denton surgery? If so I didn't realise he had cancer, i saw him a couple of weeks ago and before he died

Pink Floyd - Goodbye.

Goodbye cruel world
I'm leaving you today
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye all you people
There's nothing you can say
To make me change my mind
Goodbye

They`re Coming To Take Me Away Ha-Haaa by Napoleon XIV is a must.

 

[frothy]

Yes it is

ok, very sad such a nice man and you can't imagine what his family have gone through, but the Train driver and emergency services will been traumatised as well

I read that Ester Rantzen has joined an assisted dying clinic in Switzerland.

It's a pity people have to go to such lengths in the UK and what is even more disappointing, is that any family members that travel with them would/could be prosecuted as well.


Even conservative Canada is ahead on this and has allowed assisted dying since 2016.

Personally I think it's a good idea to offer this option to terminally ill people, but I do have a concern for opening it up to people whose sole underlying condition is depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, schizophrenia, PTSD or any other mental affliction.

The Canadian method has been attacked because many people are committing assisted suicide because of poverty. This has always been one of the arguments against it being accessible.

Are Canadians being driven to assisted suicide by poverty or healthcare crisis?

Critics argue laws are being misused to punish the poor but experts say cases represent country’s failure to care for its most vulnerable citizens

I'd question the word 'many', although there's no doubt politicians could and should do a lot more for improving society, especially while they are well looked after by the taxpayer themselves.

As I said, I'm all for assisted dying in terminal cases, but don't think it should be extended beyond that.

Agree with terminal cases and the likes of dementia patients. It’s interesting though that is the type of case that first comes to mind in this topic.

In theory it could be open to anyone who just doesn’t want to be alive. I know of three people this year alone who have ended their life. Someone has to find them that way. If this was open up to people who just do not want to be here, what some have to go through after finding a loved one who has taken their life would not have to happen.
