But W.V. believes his daughter "is vulnerable and is not competent to make the decision to take her own life," according to Feasby's summary of the father's position.

"He says that she is generally healthy and believes that her physical symptoms, to the extent that she has any, result from undiagnosed psychological conditions."

Her only known diagnoses described in court earlier this month are autism and ADHD.

Sounds similar to what? They didn't describe the contributing factors at all in the article.

For all we know she has depression or some other chemical imbalance that could be treated and she would have a perfectly normal life. And fuck the father for loving his daughter? You're clearly not a parent...

We know it's not what you said because those are not reasons allowed for MAID at this time.

Stop trying to make decisions for others. You don’t know better (or anything beyond the article) and you’re assuming you do. You’re literally pushing for more suffering in the world and for people to not have their own say over their lives and their bodies. What makes you so special? You don’t get a say.

I am a parent of an adult. I agree with the comment you replied to, even though it would cause me great personal suffering to lose my child. I love them enough to prefer then not suffer to appese me. They're happy, but it could easily be different. I'm lucky.

Two doctors signed off. They don't offer this service for depression or small issues. Right to Die movement is for people who are beyond having quality of life that gives them enough satisfaction to deal with their illness.

See How to Die in Oregon. In this docu, there's a woman with a tumor who fights to be a part of the world until it looks like she swallowed a large football. That's the point when she chose to end it. She clearly wanted to live but it just stopped being worth the suffering.
