Imagine thinking your life belongs to you, and then having to get permission to end it without suffering

[-] megane_kun@lemm.ee 33 points 1 year ago

There are other options other than this one that requires permission. The article mentions her reasons to choose this method.

From the article:

She had thought about taking her own life but the violent death by suicide of a schoolfriend and its impact on the girl’s family deterred her.

Whether we agree with her or not, it's her decision.

You're asking someone else to take your life and expect them to do so no questions asked...?

[-] Doxin@pawb.social 14 points 1 year ago

There are in fact many questions asked, and any doctor can refuse for any reason.

Yes, hence kofe's skeptical and maybe sarcastic question

[-] kofe@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I was genuinely asking, more so of the person that's skeptical of having to get permission. I'm glad it seems to be an ethical requirement
