However it will be, it will be on my own terms. After a family member's cancer became untreatable, I watched her writhe around in agony on her deathbed for 2 weeks after they sent her home from the hospital. Painkillers were only a small consolation. If it ever gets to that point, I don't care about the legality issues - I'm acquiring a lethal dose of barbiturates and downing that. The fact that we can't control our own deaths and die peacefully and painlessly with a cogent mind and dignity at a time of our choosing, is some barbaric, backwards shit. We have the substances to do it, we just only choose to use them on pets.
Now that I've added levity to this thread...

Just watched the Louie Theroux doc on euthanasia... the guy took the recommended dose and I guess he was resilient or something because it still took him 7 hours to die. And of course no-one from the family could help by upping the dose because then they'd be complicit, so they just had to sit around and feel his pulse the whole day. And who knows what it felt like from the guy's point of view, I wouldn't want my last experience to be potentially physical and mental anguish from a bad trip.
I know they didn't have access to the gold-standard euthanasia medication (Nembutal). You basically fall asleep within minutes after you take it.

The BOP were aware that courts would challenge the use of pentobarbital as their "new drug choice" as some lawyers have said that "pentobarbital would flood prisoners’ lungs with froth and foam, inflicting pain and terror akin to a death by drowning."
You sure about that, chief?

I'm gonna get drafted and be a Vietnam vet. Then I'm gonna wander highways n shit looking up my old squad guys. Then some small town, asshole cop is going to hassle me for no reason, and I'm going to beat the fuck out of all the pigs in the pig house before escaping into a forest on a motorbike. I'm going to wear a carpet n shit n jump off a mountain n land in a tree n sew my arm up for giggles. I'm going to live in a abandoned mine and the pigs will fire rockets at me but I won't give a fuck cos imma ex Nam guy. Then I'll go fuck up a town n kill a bunch of pigs n then sit on a roof n cry man tears before walking off into the future with a overcoat on my shouldersCan I be your Colonel Trautman?
