          From the article I shared:

          Death with dignity is defined as “an end-of-life option that allows certain eligible individuals to legally request and obtain medications from their physician to end their life in a peaceful, humane and dignified manner.”

          We’re talking about an entirely different thing here. I’d recommend reading the article if this is the first time you’ve encountered the phrase, it’s eye opening and is something everyone will have to think about either for themselves or for loved ones.

        guess i really shouldnt be surprised by this. Though i am still surprised it was ever illegal at all frankly.

        Good to know we’re moving in the right direction though i guess.

      What’re they gonna do if you succeed? Put your corpse in jail? Kill you again? I mean, say what you want about it: suicide is the only crime you can get away with 100% of the time if you succeed.

          If not for how they would likely treat me behind the scenes, it would almost be tempting since my money keeps disappearing into bills and fees for things that are mandatory and mostly don’t even benefit me

        Suicide in some places makes you a criminal. There’s a tasteless joke here somewhere, but I’m too tired to find it.

          Suicide in some places makes you a criminal

          Only if you do it wrong.

          Is that what you were going for? I wouldn’t say that is tasteless. Poor taste, sure, but it does have taste.

          I was thinking other actions weirdly categorized as crimes. It’s too bad that anything targeting the corporate overlords is treated as worse than murder.

        i think i would rather just do the “usual suspect route” and pull out a shotgun and engage with “advanced strategy”

        And then leave a rather humorous note, to hopefully not traumatize whoever the hell is left to clean that up, and probably some money for them as well.
