If you get hit by a car and die, that wasn't your choice. If you get told you have a terminal illness, it is entirely your choice how long you fight it or IF you choose to. Mental illenss is still taboo to most doctors, but the world needs to accept that people with mental illness suffer. Personally, I don't want another 25 years of physical life if it's full of pain so that is shit criteria. Medically assisted death is a far more dignified way to die than a whole lot of "natural" deaths (ie. rotting way, writhing in pain with family watching). Switzerland has known this for decades. People shouldn't assign their morality to another person's life. And if anyone reads this comment, no, I do not have a terminal illness or a mental illness at the time of this post.

But if they then indeed get Alzheimers and go; 'I don't want to die, no no..ducklings..lalala no dying, lala, ducklings' then you can no longer euthanize the person.

@@echochamber1234 Honestly, they used to have laws that prevented people's euthanasia-wishes from happening, once their dementia had set in and they couldn't speak anymore, because 'what if they meant 'no' after all?'

@@nomebear Dr. Jack Kevorkian went to jail for euthanizing people. Janet Adkins was his first patient. People in the USA are asking to be euthanized all the time. Nazi USA.
Why is it that there are so many people who have the odds stacked against them, choose to go on living? I know of men who have lost their entire families, their friends, have major health challenges, deal with addictions, poverty, are living in poverty, are homeless, and yet they have not intention of taking their own lives.
Mental illness ain’t easy and life ain’t easy please don’t judge others, no one truly knows what someone else is going thru, we all deserve peace and freedom, I understand them wanting that
Because they are not suffering with a mental illness which causes suicidal tendencies. Some people can have nothing and be the happiest person on the planet. Someone can have everything money, fame, power and be suicidal. It doesn’t matter what they have if they have. Mental illness doesn’t care who you are. Spreading shit like this just discredits people that suffer from mental illness.
You don't just "get" assisted suicide...you don't just get it when you're in a sad situation in life. They have multiple checks and it takes ages, for everyone to conclude you are indeed suffering with no change of it ever getting better. And even then, it takes another few specialists and sometimes, it takes 4 years for someone to decide you might get a pill, in the future. In the case of someone with stage 4 cancer, they're usually already dead before it's decided. The rules are way too strict at this point.
Those of you who live in a conformity with of a godless world are free to bitch and wine of ur right to die. If you had any beliefs and stop telling me u are a fool. U might see the light and live. Live in darkness for all I care.
Sorry but if the parents paid attention to their kid and gotten him help , maybe SOMEONE could give him a reason not to do it. I am all for death with dignity but I see total parental neglect.
You don’t think the mountains of doctors you have to see before you are even *considered* to be a candidate for euthanasia offered him help? They exhaust every treatment plan available before they consider euthanasia. This man received extensive treatment all of which proved totally ineffective. Your comment is ignorant and discredits all the pain this man had to suffer through before he was able to seek relief from his pain.
I am against euthanasia. Espacially when it comes to depression. No doctor will tell You that depression us not curable. Also, this man should have been tested for ADD and could have benefitted from medication. Also, I dont want to blame anyone but it is clear to me that he wasnt given the right support from the surroundings. I fully understand that it is difficult but everyone can sit down and listen and try to help him build a network with professional support. This is one reason euthanasia is dangerous and unethical. It justifies suicide and could cause deaths that otherwise wouldnt happen. This man was not terminally ill. The main reasons for asking euthansia is not terminal illness or pain. It is curable conditions or a sense of loss of dignity. These are problems we should be able to take care of as a society and not make suicide more accessible. I am not arguing from a religious perspective and I dont mean to undermine anyone's suffering. But Euthanasia is a dangerous path to walk as a society. In Belgium kids are being allowed assisted suicide and in Canada mentall illness is sufficient to get help to die according to court ruling. It will not stop people from keep suffering. We introduce something into our society that we cant control and in the end already vulnurable people will pay the price. The topic is much more problematic than what is discussed in media. Euthanasia and assisted dying has been glorified and I deeply disagree with it.
I'll get slammed for this but I don't think he has a legitimate reason for euthanasia. He is depressed because of his weight and didn't care to deal with it. He is not dying with dignity.
Not slammed, but you are wrong. I know his story and he was already struggling with life as a child. You should watch the documentary 't Is Goed Zo or his portret on Broedplaatsz. I know you will have a different opinion after seeing that.
@@Marion-py2gl I get it but Jesus is the one who determines the time. And I have had plenty depression. I watch your recommendation. Thank you for sharing.

You should watch the documentary. You will never see a more loving father, mother and sister.
I am against euthanasia. Espacially when it comes to depression. No doctor will tell You that depression us not curable. Also, this man should have been tested for ADD and could have benefitted from medication. Also, I dont want to blame anyone but it is clear to me that he wasnt given the right support from the surroundings. I fully understand that it is difficult but everyone can sit down and listen and try to help him build a network with professional support. This is one reason euthanasia is dangerous and unethical. It justifies suicide and could cause deaths that otherwise wouldnt happen. This man was not terminally ill. The main reasons for asking euthansia is not terminal illness or pain. It is curable conditions or a sense of loss of dignity. These are problems we should be able to take care of as a society and not make suicide more accessible. I am not arguing from a religious perspective and I dont mean to undermine anyone's suffering. But Euthanasia is a dangerous path to walk as a society. In Belgium kids are being allowed assisted suicide and in Canada mentall illness is sufficient to get help to die according to court ruling. It will not stop people from keep suffering. We introduce something into our society that we cant control and in the end already vulnurable people will pay the price. The topic is much more problematic than what is discussed in media. Euthanasia and assisted dying has been glorified and I deeply disagree with it.
So i should suffer because of what you believe?
I'll get slammed for this but I don't think he has a legitimate reason for euthanasia. He is depressed because of his weight and didn't care to deal with it. He is not dying with dignity.
Lifelong depression manifests physically in many ways. Gaining weight may also have been a side effect of psychiatric meds
Not slammed, but you are wrong. I know his story and he was already struggling with life as a child. You should watch the documentary 't Is Goed Zo or his portret on Broedplaatsz. I know you will have a different opinion after seeing that.
@@Marion-py2gl I get it but Jesus is the one who determines the time. And I have had plenty depression.
I watch your recommendation. Thank you for sharing.
You are phenomenal at stating your opinion as fact. You add to the confusion of the world, and the stupidity of the human species.
@@no_one_211 yeah yeah sure buddy
He should have changed his lifestyle, lost some weight to start off with. Exercise does wonders… he was lazy and selfish
it's wrong and God will judge you
BW///// Too much bible is rotting your brain.
That's fine. The individual's faith SHOULD be part of this discussion. You have every right to choose your own path, as does everyone else. Ultimately we make many decisions in our life. Whether these are right or wrong... well, that's up to the individual and their understanding of their God and/or place in the universe.
