It’s an incredibly contentious topic.

Here in the states we had two states, Washington and Oregon vote on it more or less at the same time.

Washington banned it in 1991, Oregon approved it in 1994, and it was further complicated by the fact that we share a border.

https://ballotpedia.org/Washington_Initiative_119,Physician-Assisted_Death_Measure(1991)

The Oregon legislature referred it back to voters a 2nd time in 1997 in a “hey, are you SURE?” kind of way and we passed it again by an even larger margin.

…m.wikipedia.org/…/1994_Oregon_Ballot_Measure_16

Meanwhile, on the Washington side of the border, when court cases blocked the law and it went all the way to the Supreme Court who ruled in 1997 that it’s a matter of States Rights and they can do what they want.

Which made it hilarious when people sued to block the Oregon law, it went to the Supreme Court in 2006 and the ruling was (paraphrasing) “Bitch, we told you once!”

Washington later reversed their decision in 2008.

It’s crazy to me that we don’t have sensible right-to-die laws here. I was reading about one somewhere (Sweden maybe? I can’t recall now), where there’s a cool pod. It was placed in a beautiful forest. Woman was in chronic pain all her life, so she goes in, pushes 3 buttons, a gas painlessly makes her go to sleep and die. The company picks up and cleans up.

It was awesome! Legit we need that here in the US.

jordanlund@lemmy.world on 22 Oct 01:39 collapse

IIRC that pod was largely an art installation, but it was apparently legit used just recently?

Yep, that’s it. Here is the dailymail article, I know you hate them, but they have the pics of it in the forest.

I think there should be legit ones, just like that. Because that seemed the best way to go if you gotta go.

You have 3,296 comments and only 11 of them have a positive score. You are remarkably unlikable.

UniversalMonk@lemmy.world on 22 Oct 13:01 collapse

Right? Well, worshippers of the Duopoly have never liked me. I’m a proud socialist. Par for the course, friend.

And the fact that you felt the need to bring that up in the discussion of an unrelated article about assisted dying proves my point. Why would me being “remarkably unlikable” have anything to do with a news article posted in a world news community?! Thank you! :)

Amen brother! The only worshipping I approve of is of the devil-jesus!!! Christ-hating christian communist worker’s party, out.

Banned from politics and now moved on to World News. Hope you get the boot a lot sooner than you did on politics.

UniversalMonk@lemmy.world on 22 Oct 15:32 next collapse

Thanks for your kind words!

My ban in politics is just until election tho because of fears I’m influencing voting minds and you all are taking up the mods time complaining.

I disagree with that assumption, but the mods are totally allowed to mod as they see fit, and I can respect their wishes-- even if I disagree.

Thank you!

Gee I wonder why your posting frequency tanked immediately once you were banned from the most popular place you’ve been posting.

Because, according to you, you do not care what anyone thinks of your posts and you only want to encourage discussion. So, being banned from that space shouldn’t impact your behavior at all. And yet it did, drastically.

I’m pretty sure @Dot@feddit.org is their new alt account.

pooperNickel@lemm.ee on 22 Oct 16:09 collapse

You might be right. That account is gaining activity, and their response to me yesterday had a similar tone.

Friend, you’re just afraid of us worshilling against the duopoly in favor of a communist Christ haters utopia where people are free to wank off to democracy death and AI generated pictures of Putin boning Trump raw dog. Enjoy the DuOpOlY my friend. Thank you! :)
