As for someone changing their mind at the very last minute, Nitschke said: “Once you press that button, there’s no way of going back.”
Regardless of what your philosophical beliefs are this seems like a gigantic problem to me. You should be able to stop the process at any point before you are unconscious. Imagine having second thoughts in that thing after you hit the button. You just know you’re fucked, that you are going to die, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. Sounds fucking terrifying.
The capsule has raised a host of legal and ethical questions in Switzerland. Active euthanasia is illegal in the country, but assisted dying has been allowed for decades as long as the person takes their life with no “external assistance” and those who help the person die do not do so for “any self-serving motive,” according to a government website.
That sounds so frigging complicated. Like, you can have a milky coffee, but you can’t physically combine the milk and coffee.
Good on the folk who risked 5 years in jail to help that 65 y/o bite it.
I respect a man who goes where he wants to be, even if he wants to be dead.
Sweet, just like in futurama.
The classic Stop’n’Drop! Later than prophesied, but what a time to be alive.
Bro why do you post a aljazeera link?
Why not?
Apart from the whole issue with it being financed by a ruthless dictatorship: Aljazeera hasn’t got reporters on the ground in Switzerland. So they are just using some of the usual international news agencies for this. And therefore there is no reason to use a news site financed by a ruthless dictatorship, you can just link to all those other sources reporting the same or you might want to take a look at swiss sources, who might have more insight into the issue than an arabic news channel financed by a ruthless dictatorship
Cause its Aljazeera, the known Qatari funded Hamas propaganda institute, dont spread their links.
Tell me one media outlet without an agenda of sorts. They are all funded by a propaganda machine one way or another.
Still, it’s a quality article
Nope, nothing of value comes from terrorism supporters. Watch their Arabic language stuff and you might get that.
Well, when you say “you might get that,” it’s encouraging me not to.
Yeah then dont and just use a European News Source and not one that is funded by a dictatorship.
Show me the article on another acceptable news source and I’ll go read it.
Lmao, looks like somebody needs to go back to their troll cave.
