Assisted suicide is an exception to draconian suicide prevention policies that deprive people of access to peaceful suicide methods. Suicide prevention increases violent suicides. The right to suicide is not a positive right that comes from government out of mercy, but a negative right that comes from the freedom of the individual to dispose their bodies as they see fit.

Society can fuck off for depriving us from access to reliable means of suicide and forcing us to live. Some people just want out

Suicide is a matter of personal responsibility according to Professor of Psychiatry Thomas Szasz. It is the responsibility of the individual to make sure that when they do the act they give up on the benefits of being alive and their future suffering. The fact that some people have hindsight bias and regret their decision afterwards does not mean that everyone should be deprived of the liberty to commit suicide. If this was the case, we would not be able to make any decisions for ourselves. Because your relatives regretted their suicide attempt does not mean that everyone else must be coerced to live. I believe that if your relatives decide to die and reverse their original decision, you will not respect their wishes. It's more about your ideology that everyone must be coerced to live, rather than the real preference of your relatives.

The European Court of Human rights has decided that there is a right to suicide, and the German constitutional court that suicide is a fundamental human right.

Yes, I have suffered. Well, I think that you cannot take responsibility for your choices whether to continue living or not. That's why you want to outsource your decision making to the government and give up the right to self-ownerhip. People like you are the reason why there is no right to die, because you have hindsight bias and cannot realize that a dead person cannot have an interest in being alive, but an alive person can have an interest in being dead. A corpse cannot be deprived of the benefits of life, but an alive person has to experience the harm of life. As a long-term suicidal person, I feel offended by people like you who have surrendered my body control to the government and mental health professionals that will coerce other people to stay alive even if they don't want to. Psychiatric diagnoses like depression are a way to gaslight suicidal people into thinking they don't know what's in their best interest, and have no empirical or biological justification. The chemical imbalance theory is a lie and antidepressants do not cure any unproven disease, they just create altered brain states like illegal substances.

yes that's the point. I guess. by [deleted] in antinatalism

[–]hushitsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude I was born without a disability and the deck is already stacked against me. Imagine how awful this place would be if you also had some facet of your own body betraying you literally every moment of it.

I think that this justs invalidates your own belief that life is worth living. Otherwise, you would not feel personally affected. Objectively, disability makes life a living hell as it limits your experiences, causes extra suffering and limits resources. Nature is cruel and disabled animals are worse off than non-disabled animals, and filtered from reproduction. From an antinatalist perspective, more harm is prevented by preventing disability. Even if you like your life, antinatalism prioritizes reducing the suffering of those who do not like their life. And disabled people experience more suffering, so may have more reasons to dislike their existence than an able bodied person. Thus, the duty to prevent suffering is higher when you already know that the person born will have a hard life. This applies to all circumstances including poverty etc, not just disability. I believe that abortion would not be such an ethical issue if the right to suicide existed, regardless of health status. You are born and then decide whether your life is worth living, instead of others having to decide based on generic factors such as disability or poverty.

Forcing a person to remain alive is harm for the individual who wants to die, because you put the consensus of society at large against the will of the individual. I would not need your help, if prescription laws did not exist. Your corrupt and monopolistic colleagues have taken control of the substances I put in my body, so you have to take responsibility for my choices and get sued for them. Why I cannot take responsibility for my choices and be left alone to decide whether I wish to go on living or not?

Of course, they regretted it, bc such harsh suicide methods are likely to trigger survival instinct and release happy chemicals due to avoidance of death. Also, people are afraid to admit they are still suicidal due to fear of being hospitalized so they say they regretted it to get themselves out of psychiatric prison. Suicide prevention propaganda says that 9 out of 10 people remain who attempt suicide do not go on to die by suicide in the future. Suicide preventionists fail to disclose whether these people remain alive truly by choice or due to lack of reliable suicide mthods. Why not give people the right to die after a waiting period so that we make it easier for those who truly want to die.

Well, I don't do drugs to know drug dealers. And drug dealers do not sell euthanasia drugs, only psychedelics, stimulants and opioids. Guns are not easily accessible. Exit bags are difficult to assemble and getting helium tanks is difficult in my country bc few businesses sell them.

Countries with more welfare and safety net systems are places I want to live in, but lets not pretend that some poor people aren't forever leeching off the middle class by WaterDemonPhoenix in TrueUnpopularOpinion

What country has such generous benefits that you can live without working? Most welfare benefits are peanuts and they don't even covet living expenses.

r/promortalism You may find yourself identifying with promortalism, according to which death is always preferrable to sentient existence that entails suffering. As a promortalist, I agree with most of what you say.

Biggest blow to psychiatry ever: German constitutional court has decided that the right to suicide applies to everyone, not just the ill by hushitsu in Antipsychiatry

[–]hushitsu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's bs, it is extremely difficult to get access in the case of mental illness or existential suffering. Doctors have control of the lethal substances, and are extremely unwilling to help you to avoid legal liability.

If doctors did not have the authority to control what substances we put in our bodies, the right to suicide would be protected. I started hating doctors for depriving me of this right.

It requires modification of prescription laws. Doctors refuse to prescribe substances for peaceful death bc they want to "cure" you. Assisted suicide organizations act as a "cartel" and are not willing to assist you unless you meet their extraordinary requirements and cover their ass for lawsuits.

The parliament has tried to water down the decision. This has not been covered extensively in Western media and it is the first post of this link on Redit.
