For me it is all the elderly on my mother's side. My great grandmother lived until she was 104, but she was gone mentally for more than a decade. My grandmother and grandmother are younger but already diagnosed. The next few years are going to get really bad.
On my fathers side, nobody has ever lived to their 70s, except my father's stepmother. I almost hope I end up like them. As awful as colon cancer is, I'll take that over my brain rotting away.
A big part of the reason I support assisted suicide is I anticipate needing it when I am old.

Also my maternal grandparent's siblings are all already dead. All Alzheimers. They live long, but they do not die well. There is no dignity in living like that.

Wew, you sound like a leftist faggot.

Doctors can now prescribe death as cure to illnesses. Whatever happened to the Hippocratic Oath?

/r/atheism is that way -→

There's nothing here to suggest they are prescribing death. It's more likely you have people who come to the conclusion themselves due to unbearable pain

I understand m8, a lot of grandmothers would feel the same. I'm sure if this was made legal, there would be barriers present to prevent the elderly euthanising themselves out of pressure or to benefit the next of kin.
One solution might be that the euthanising agency has to inform the next of kin of the elderly's intentions.

My grandmother on my father's side is full Alzheimers, doesn't recognize anybody anymore. Makes me kinda want to put a part in my will about killing me if my mind goes completely…
However….
is 100% correct, the state could attack and cripple dissenters and then euthanize them because "they said they wanted to die if they were crippled" and people would just accept it.
