You should make a video on Beebo Russell. He stole a passenger plane and took it on a final joy ride. There are good audio recording and video recording of the incident. The audio recordings are filled with raw emotions. Qxir quality video content.

[@ricardombr]

There was a recent news report here in Europe, I don't remember which country in specific it happened but they euthanized the wrong person because of a language barrier, and the person that was killed was confused by another, in this case both the 2 patients involved were Asian tourists and their excuse was that they couldn't communicate well enough with both patients. go search for the news report don't trust my word :D

To put things in perspective, the average therapeutic dose of Diazepam is 1-2 mg. Morphine sulfate...10mg. 1000mg of D and 15,000mg of M is insane....but itll definitely do the trick. The fact that the guy survived from even a small sip is crazy

[@liammurray3872]

Goddamn that'd probably kill a horse twice over lmao

[@ndawn90]

Yeah, when I heard those doses I was like, "These people are not messing around!!" Gives a whole new meaning to the word "overkill".

[@J_McPhearsom]

Those are for initial IV dosing though, not oral, which would be 10mg for Diazepam and closer to 30mg for Morphine. (Still an incredibly huge dose in compared to those) For reference on the higher end of therapeutic index - I was high functioning on an oral dose of nearly 200mg of morphine equivalent a day for multiple years. This was following an intense brain surgery, a lot of suffering, and finally being accepted into palliative care a year after (all due to an incurable brain tumor on brainstem and spinal cord in my neck). This was under the care of a pain clinic & spinal cord recovery team, but still, when combined with 0.5mg of Clonazepam, that alone could OD someone who had no tolerance. Regarding Diazepam, the _oral_ therapeutic dose for that is actually in 10mg increments. It’s Clonazepam and other benzos that are between 0.25mg and 2mg. I was on 40mg of Diazepam, then switched to 4mg of Clonazepam for a year before they accepted that it was more a pain control issue. (So based on my experience, these doses, taken orally, are a factor of 100-1000 times higher than even the highest therapeutic doses. I’m guessing partially because some terminal pain patients are taking pretty high doses, which still don’t help much, and part of the reason they’re asking for “game over”.) Doctors don’t like to prescribe that much unless you’re much older than me or death much closer, so though it helped make me go from debilitating nonstop pain to going back to school, working again as a researcher, and getting a Master’s in Engineering, (high functioning again), I was (am still being) slowly weened to a much lower dose. Plus, my brain & spine tumor is regrowing back, though slowly, and now, in anticipation of another surgery, I need a low tolerance to the pain medications for it to be able to blunt the pain of having my skull and spine cracked open again, and tumor cut off of my brainstem, spinal cord, and the vertebral arteries it’s wrapping around.

I have multiple spinal cord injuries and rely on numerous medication and have had multiple emergency and planned surgeries for Cauda Equina Syndrome and prolapsed discs/nerve compression at L, T & C Spine levels. As we spoke about the "cocktail" of medication I take, he mentioned that in his hospital they have something known as "The Brompton Cocktail" which is a carefully concocted mixture of medicines prepared by an anaesthetist and consultant in conjunction with one another to ease the suffering of patients in their last days. It struck me as one of the noblest things one human could do for another. Thank you, Doctor. We appreciate the sacrifices you made training to help us all.

We were 12 years old, and they were pushing the pro-euthanasia propaganda on us without any counter-arguments.. They'd also push all these other ideas on us as 12-year-olds while the teacher was our only guidance.. *and all the programming was targeted towards kids by older teenagers who "were cool" lol* Just think about the implications of that for a second. Pushing ideas on kids at 12 who thought euthanasia was "youth in Asia" in a propaganda way without any counter-arguments being displayed, without their parents presence or even their permission.

That left me like, I'm not gonna say horrified but genuinely upset. You described such a fucked up way in which someone narrowly escaped inescapable death and I can't help but think about how dread I would feel in such an experience.

Imagine your last moments being spent absentmindedly observing as some dumb guy you know nearly kills himself with the same thing you're using to peacefully pass on. I like to believe it was amusing for Mr. Goner.

My problem with this is that it’s almost always a slippery slope. Canada and Denmark have already seen it expanded from the old and terminally ill to people with disabilities and mental health issues.

[@gerardacronin334]

Not true. The mental health amendment has been postponed as it is too controversial.

your opinion is unimportant

[@jessnalulila5552]

In Canada there was a scandal of military veterans seeking support were offered euthanasia instead

Why was my comment deleted? What I said was that an amendment to allow MAID in Canada for people with mental health issues alone has been postponed due to controversy.

[@hatuletoh]

Back in the day I was an assistant to an assistant professor, and some of my menial chores involved grading papers from a remedial college English class. And that's no joke--this was a special class for probationary freshman who had to demonstrate basic levels of academic competence to be fully accepted into the uni next semester. So one day I was grading essays, and I think the writing prompt was something like "argue for/against a current social issue." And as I started reading this essay, it made no damn sense at all. The writer was arguing in favor of Asian kids, but it wasn't clear what exactly he was in favor of. Then it hit me: he wasn't in favor of Asian kids, he was in favor of "youth in Asia." What was really crazy was that he seemed to understand what euthanasia was, but he'd written it phonetically like that. These were the days before an internet search engine had seen enough dumb asses to understand that a search for "youth in Asian" = euthanasia. Seriously, try it in Google right now and it will totally know you want info about medically assisted suicide. And that's just...unfortunate.
