GummyBearOfDoom Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Suicide pills are a way to stop agony when your terminally ill. You can get them llegaly in Oregon. You have to be a citizen of oregon, 6 months left to live, it can not be for financial purpouses and you have to get passed by 3 diffrent doctors before you get the medicine. What is your opinion on people ending their life before the disease kills them? Is it suicide? I believe it is the persons life and no one else can tell them what they can do with there own body. Every state should have this right for terminally ill people. Link to comment
Pamuya Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 i'm for it. if you're in fucking agony why wait for the reapers to take you. btw these suicide pills, are they like the ones they give to like army dudes n shit? Link to comment
Samurai Drifter Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Sure it's suicide. But it's there own right and no one should be able to say they can't end their own life. (Also, I don't think "medicine" is exactly the right word. ) Link to comment
TeleportSandwich Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 They should go ahead and make suicide booths already. Charge a doller per death, and thier you have yet another source of income to pay off things like the national dept. Plus, a whole new Job sector gets created(Some one has to design, build, maintain, and advertise these booths of course). Its a win-win plan. Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I will accept any rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them to obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. -Robert A.

Battle_Pope Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 well you have 6 months to live anyway, unless you feel you can accomplish goals that'll set the world on fire then go ahead and take the pill. Link to comment
Poophy Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 6 ways to kill yourself using a mouse pad… If some one wants to kill themselves, they will find a way… the least that we can do is make there passing as pain free as possible… Link to comment
Kreutz Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Why cure the disease when you can kill the patient? Link to comment
margot Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Of course a terminally ill person should have the choice to end their life. Link to comment

No those are Cyanide pills that they give to CIA and NSA agents if they get caught for interrogation. Link to comment

What is your opinion on people ending their life before the disease kills them? Is it suicide? I believe it is the persons life and no one else can tell them what they can do with there own body. Every state should have this right for terminally ill people. Well of course it is suicide. ANd the very concept of it being a right "given" by the state is ridiculous. Of course they have the right to die if they want to. It's their own life and body, after all. Link to comment
Venom112 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 What is your opinion on people ending their life before the disease kills them? Is it suicide? Yes, of course. That naturally doesn't mean there is anything wrong with it, but lots of people get into a flustering hub-bub over the taboo. Sure it's suicide. But it's there own right and no one should be able to say they can't end their own life. (Also, I don't think "medicine" is exactly the right word. ) Seeing as how it does cure a disease in that death will lead to peace/destruction of disease, it does classify as a medicine. fixed No, not really. Assuming this is strictly for those in incredible agony, it is a catch 22, because no one will get the pill, due to the fact that pain makes people mentally unstable. I know when I'm feeling terrible I'm saying to myself, "ugh, just kill me now!" I don't mean it overall, but at the time I do! Link to comment
Samurai Drifter Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Seeing as how it does cure a disease in that death will lead to peace/destruction of disease, it does classify as a medicine. That's kind of like in that Twilight Zone story "Peace On Earth". The main character gets a mysterious device with a button on it from a weird guy, named Gabriel. Gabriel tells the main character that if he presses the button on midnight Christmas morning, there will be peace on Earth. Then some other guys come by and tell the main character that Gabriel is an alien, and that if he presses the button the world will be destroyed (as it's Gabriel's idea of a joke). There will be peace on Earth, but only because it doesn't exist anymore. So I guess you could call it a medicine, but it's sort of a twisted version/definition of one. Link to comment

I know when I'm feeling terrible I'm saying to myself, "ugh, just kill me now!" I don't mean it overall, but at the time I do! The most part then that is happening you can make the decision not to kill yourself. Because you know the pain will pass, and are just saying that as a piece of our language that tells others that you REALLY want the pain to go away. But, you don't really want to die. If you wanted to die you'd have no problem choosing to take the pill. If you knew that was the only way for the pain to stop, if you knew that the pain would follow you till it ultimately killed you.

GummyBearOfDoom Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 The pill has been available for 7 years now in Oregon. Around 350 people have gotten the prescription but only around 220 have used it. It just shows that some people like knowing they could end the pain if they wanted to. Since they might be bed ridden, handicapped or can't even go to the bathrooms for themselves anymore the pill is the only control they have. It makes it easier for them to take the pain day by day knowing they could do something about it if it got worse. Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 So you agree that the pill should be available in every local drug store? Link to comment
margot Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 So you agree that the pill should be available in every local drug store? Are you actually suggesting that yourself? Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Are you actually suggesting that yourself? What he just said gives the image that if the pill was available then people would WANT to fight against the pain. In that logic, the pill should be more available. Note that I do not agree with his theory. Link to comment
margot Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I don't think that's true. Most suicide is a really spontaneous act after all. Obviously not among the terminally ill, but the general public. Link to comment

GummyBearOfDoom Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 I know, I was trying to prove his comment invalid. Me? No I don't think it should be sold over every drug store counter... Infact in Oregon I believe I already told you that judgment from 3 doctors has to analayze your mental stability and make sure your not duing it for financial purpouses. Not that it should be available to any one over the counter. Link to comment
amy Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 well, you can buy guns online from WalMart Link to comment
GummyBearOfDoom Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 well, you can buy guns online from WalMart I believe only shotguns, and you can buy those at K-mart to. You can be 18 and walk out with a shotgun. Link to comment
