  • fuck u even animal ain't do this sh*t to themselves

  • i am using this in my citizenship work where i need to use a contrivershal issue and change people's minds on it and i hope using this will help me out

  • @soadpwnsyou

    Prove that it's not.

  • scratch my left eyebrow ...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

    ah the simple things in life. that was awesome.

  • What must your life be like, to willingly step into death?

    I can't even begin to imagine what that man was going through.

  • @DaReggaeMAN77

    God isn't real. bye

  • @DaReggaeMAN77

    You are not a millionaire, you are just saying that. btw you spelled millionaire wrong, you are an idiot. I have made a lot of friends from being myself not from faith. And guess what, faith has nothing to do with anything lol. Having faith is for idiots that believe in God.

    I am a joke lol. That was funny. My parents pay for me to use useless stuff, sweet, at least my parents love me enough to pay for my college unlike your parents that don't love you.

  • @DaReggaeMAN77

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAH

    You don't stoop to my level, yes you did you are commenting back and getting butt hurt.

    That doesn't mean I am weaker it just means you want the conversation to end because you are getting destroyed.

    Two Things:

    1) You are not rich, you are fucking poor

    2) I am at college and I already am richer than you

    Kill yourself you fucking fagot.

    Fuck you.

  • @DaReggaeMAN77

    I call people names because I want too.

    You didn't explain your thoughts. You said that everything on the internet is a lie.

    "your the dumb one if u believe whats on the internet" that is what you said. The internet has lies and truths, only fucking idiots like yourself think the entire internet is a lie. There are 1000's and 1000's of credible sites online.

    Your belief was proven thousands of years ago, no that isn't true that is a lie.

  • @DaReggaeMAN77

    Bullshit beliefs, lolz that describes your ENTIRE RELIGION. My belief is that there is no God. Which is more logical than yours haha.

  • @DaReggaeMAN77

    That doesn't prove anything you dumbass. Of course there was a person that was a preacher of the lord. That lord is still not real... you fucking retard.

  • @DaReggaeMAN77

    God isn't real, there is no proof. Religion was made up for people that were gullible and depressed and had money. Churches were made to make money off of idiots that believed in a God. Why do you think more people become Atheists today, because we are becoming smarter.

    Stop living in a make believe world.

  • @DaReggaeMAN77

    We are hear because the universe always existed, nothing created it. The universe is still expanding.

    Swearing has nothing to due with fucking God or anything human. I am not angry in life I just like to use curse words. The are exactly like words like darn, gosh, dang, but those sound like you are a 2 year old that is afraid of cursing.

    Go online...that is where you find information these days. If you think THE ENTIRE INTERNET lies, you are a retard.

  • @DaReggaeMAN77

    The devil isn't fucking real you dumb twat. You really think every single evil person is the devil, you are a dumbass.

    And it has been proven! Go look online you retard.

    God isn't real.... you are stupid as shit.

  • @DaReggaeMAN77

    Priests do molest children it has been proven. The devil isn't real, neither is God. People have the right to decide what they want to do with their own bodies. There is no such thing is God deciding when you are going to die. God didin't decide for you to be born, your parents did.

    Dieing a natural death doesn't mean you have to die a natural death. Most people don't.... not everyone can die of old age.

  • None wants to face to the death, but this is a reality and many people wants to face to it earlier.

  • @DaReggaeMAN77 that not for you to decide... its a personal decision... maybe he doesnt believe in god either.

  • I'm really impressed by this interviewer. I've never watched this channel before, but I may have to start checking it out more regularly.

  • what a wonderful man...this filmaker... everyone should have the say so over his/her own life. this is an opinion from a nurse practitioner.

  • good interviewer. knows when to speak and when to listen.

  • Stoumbo is a bloody good interviewer. I've become a giant fan of his, all the way from Australia!!!

    Solid inteview here imo, a life is no one elses but their own, and they should be free to do with it as they please.

  • it's amazing how a small minority of religious fascists can hold sway over an entire nation whether it's telling people what they can smoke, how many cheeseburgers they can eat, what they can watch on TV, how they can have sex or if they're suffering when they can die. Able-bodied people who are healthy should never tell a person I want you to suffer until you die and you cannot take your own life, the same religious people who oppose this would not want us to tell them how to worship their god

  • Yep...good points made.

  • Mr. Zaritsky, you are doing a wonderful thing. Thank you for taking the time and for hopefully helping to change people's minds. Standing ovation to you!

  • The "freedom loving" Christian Right embody irony. Most of them advocate for a "rugged individualistic" view of life, which consists of free market capitalism, free speech, freedom of expression of THEIR religion, freedom to bear arms and minimal interference of the government in their affairs, and yet they vocally advocate in favor of government prohibition of assisted suicide, thus encroaching on the most basic freedom of all - the right to determine what to do with one's own life.

  • In minute 8:40 - 9:05 the director says that most of the protests against assisted suicide are from the religious. I find this ironic, considering that the religious profess belief in the afterlife, and stress how this life is transitory. Yet, it is the religious that seem hell bent (excuse the pun) to hang on to this life and they make it sinful to voluntarily pass from the very world they believe to be TEMPORARY to begin with! Maybe they are not so certain about eternity as they profess.

  • Having watched numerous documentaries, I have to say that the "Suicide Tourist" has to be one of the most emotionally riveting experiences I have seen. There were times I was tempted to stop watching, but ultimately I kept going because it was a testament to the strength of the human spirit, and it was also a testament to the power of love to compel us to do something that is hard for many of us to do - and that is to let those who we love go.

  • brilliant film

  • did he died?

  • @sqazsquat Thats not funny.

  • I witnessed assistant suicide in the uk without any family members even knowing I saw this 1 nurse with the consent of consultants and registrars knowing he was injected with morthine every 15 mins right up until he died he his heart around 8 am and before he died he was shouting help help yet when I pressed the button to get help no 1 came for at least 30 mins they then trying to save him and play innocent yet I told them to stop they did for 10 mins until they realised I told them the truth

  • Sweet Jumper!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i was welling up when i saw him and his wife exchange their last words.....

  • Do they pay for the procedure? It is kind of weird if they do.

  • I think this guy did an amazing thing - he lived his life to the absolute full and went out on his own terms, before his ALS made him a total and unrecognisable vegetable.

    Always live on your own terms, and if you can die on your own terms, then that's great too.

  • i also want to die but don't know how to do it right. How do I get a hold of these people.

  • it is true that some assisted suicide is without the patients consent and that is with those who have altimers or in a  prolonged coma the family also want this because they dont want to see them suffer

  • i am deeply concerned about this because if there is a heaven and hell then life isnt over and can we break one of Gods commands and take the risk that we will not go to hell i live wiht chronic pain every day cause i have three ruptured disk one in my neck and two in my lower back but i still believe that their is a purpose in what we go through even when it is hard my mom died wiht cancer but she showed faith and hope intil the last breath we seem to want the easy

  • @walker123ism

    Ruptured disks are not the same as a terminal illness. You have no more knowledge than I of what this man was going through living with ALS.

    Further, your argument that assisted suicide is wrong because it "break[s] one of Gods (sic) commands" forces your religious beliefs on others. Craig Ewert, the man in the video, was an agnostic.

    The western world tried basing its laws on the Bible for a while. It was called the Dark Ages, and, well, it kinda sucked.

  • you are right my problem isnt terminanal i just cant be pain free and the doctor dont want to do surgry because of the risk i have no right ot judge this man i am more concerned with those that are liviing and if there is no heaven or hell then there is no risk but if there is then they will have to face God for there choices we can just pray for one another that we will find the right way to live and die thanks for the comment it is good to talk

  • Periods and commas are your friends, dude.

  • Comment removed

  • the netherlands is the only country in the world with considerable experience in the legalization of assisted suicide. now:

    fifty percent of cases of assisted suicide are not reported, there are several thousand cases a year in which patients who have not given their consent have had their lives ended by physicians. 25% of physicians admit to having ended a patient's life without their consent.

    legalization is not a good idea. doctors want to end patients' lives enough as it is.

  • I thought that was in Switzerland?

  • youre right sorry. the netherlands is the country with those statistics, but the situation in Switzerland is most likely not any better. Switzerland law decriminalizes assisted suicide by allowing non-physicians to perform it.

  • Switzerland is like the conservative exception to liberal europe. Although perhaps more libertarian than conservative.

  • wow.... i never realized.. everyone should have the right to die when ever they want... they die because they choose and believe that they have out lived themselves..

    death has always bothered me especially with my ocd.. just thinking about it drives me crazy... but this seems like an option that might actually be the right one...

  • Who has the right to tell me if I should live or die, EVERYONE should have the choice to live or die, what kind of bullshit is that!?

  • lol has anyone seen the video response?

    The "Suicidal guy hangs himself with rope, but survived" one. Funny chinese guy.

  • 147

  • In Thailand we have 'Amazing Thailand' and 'Unseen Thailand' tourist campaigns,

    . In Switzerland they have "See Zurich and Depart'' Or more bluntly "See Zurich and Die"

    I heard Dignitas Co, Ltd. were paid 45,000 USD for the job.

    Yes, I do agree the so called "host" is a smuck! He should be removed ASAP!

  • Christianity was Satan's greatest deception.

  • yea god is wack, at least the belief in him, cuz he most likely doesn't exist

  • @ManofManyPasswords Then your "wack" part doesn't make sense. Claim that when certainity comes. A lot of his followers are dim-wits, but I have no information if he is

  • you are tottaly corect i mean how dose 1 pearson or thing have all that power to creat all the planets and to a degree evryone on it

  • That was sooo sad :'( it made me cry.

  • yeah, host is a douche

  • That host is talking in a apporiate way to the director on a very sensitive issue.

  • @DodgeballGuy1 hes incompetent

  • ???

  • He's a great host always

  • I loved this documentary!! My heart truly goes out to him.

  • i wish you'd commit suicide so you'd quit your bullshit.

  • this presenter is annoying...it's like he is thinking "do i sound cool saying this...do i look cool sitting like this..." its like he is looking right through the guests

  • I totally agree. He is so bad. All the interviews he does, that I have seen, are incoherent and his questions are trivial and phrased very badly.

  • You're an idiot. You're better off watching "The View".

  • What's the View? And no, I'm not an idiot, I'm entitled to state my impression of the guy. So are you, so let's try to be civil and refrain from name-calling.

  • woah

  • I watched this last night, sooo weird?

  • and as for the god squad can stick there opinion and bible so far up there ass it comes out there mouth

  • i want to go to dignitas for my bi poler as i will never get better and see it as a flaw that i was born with i cant get a job ect so i live without dignity at least i could die with it

  • were can i watch the full documentary?

  • The church don't mind priests molesting small boys.But when somebody want to die with dignity these religious nuts suddenly become so active.Fuck them.

  • right on man thts y i dont bealeave in none of tht bull shit

  • @garet300 I think there are many cases of abuse by catholic priests to me to real sorry's or any heartfelt remorse fr the pope or fr the former popes as abuse claims were evilly hushed up for many many years too many 4 my liking yet still the priests r being protected by the Vatican with a vengeance I just hope they will burn in hell for what they did to their victims. Been sexually abused in the past myself by a male support worker it can destroy 1s dignity and at times to feel to end life

  • @garet300 Agree.

  • @garet300 What 'medicine' does he take?

  • @youaremydisillusion He took Nembutal (Pentobarbital) has also been used for physician-assisted suicide. It is commonly used in the US state of Oregon for this purpose & is also used by the Swiss euthanasia group Dignitas. Pentobarbital was also used for this purpose in the Northern Territory of Australia, prior to euthanasia becoming illegal in that region.

  • @garet300 I disagree. This was Phenobarbital. Pentobarbital I believe is only found in Mexico. Phenobarbital on the other hand is used all over the world. Usually as an anti-convulsant. Phenobarbital is also the same drug used by the Heaven's Gate cult to commit suicide.

  • @garet300 Generalization much? It's not about dying with dignity, it's about murder. Nevermind the religious aspect of it. It should be against the law for assisted suicides. What's to stop people from killing and being protected from a law that allows it? It's like legalizing marijuna... how do you keep it out of the hands of children when it's made so readily available and if you can pick it up at any shop, imagine the level of crime that would rise and thus would our tax money.

  • @garet300 Top comment and totally correct

  • @garet300 , very true, I was molested by Southern Baptist convention Christians besides Christians should take time to read the Bible, there is no specific prohibition against suicide in fact in Hebrews chapter 11 Sampson is mentioned as a hero of faith and what did Sampson do? he committed suicide in an act of revenge while killing his enemies. but the point is about man's free will to choose his own destiny, no one should decide for someone else if they want to take their own life

  • FUCK RELIGION

  • Awesome dude!

  • if they have euthinasia for animals why cant the uk have euthinasia for human we are animals to it sucks

  • And to understand Buddhism you have to understand Hinduism from which Buddhism sprung from. Both are refutable. Takes me about two pages of text space to provide a scholarly refutation. Atheism, on the other hand, takes much more space to cover most of it's primary assertions. Atheism is a view of the world that asserts beliefs and has consequences when implemented just like any religion does. We saw some of them last century. Over 100,000,000 million dead. Only 1,000,000 in the Crusades friends

  • bullshit no one dies under the asssertion of there not being a magical creator that came form nothing and created everthing from the nothingness he came

  • CHWful

    Err... Atheisim just means you dont believe in a god. Thats all it means.

    You can just as easily blame the soviet union on a lack of belief in gnomes.

    Besides, the soviet union just swapped out worship of a god with worship of their own political ideology.

    I would hope that many people who are atheists are also very skeptical and questioning. But its not a prerequisite of course, you can be an athiest and be just as ignorant as a hardcore theist.

    Its the thought process that I hate.

  • Atheism posits a view of the world that if acted on has all sorts of serious ramifications for society. They manifest most often in the areas of immoral behavior and death (democide, abortion, suicide, etc..). The reason is because there is no basis in atheistic belief, other than humanism, not to engage in these practices. In atheism, there is no ultimate accountability and no ultimate system of morals not to. That makes atheism very dangerous as we have seen to date in countries where adopted

  • Comment removed

  • that's giving up hope. You're assuming that you no longer can be helped. Don't give up hope.

  • errr you need the states permission for suicide? -_-

  • Comment removed

  • Not to mention their belief system is completely bankrupt. We are all just blobs of biological matter formed by accident in an expanding universe that will one expand to the point where no life is possible ever. Their emotions are meaningless. Their arguments are meaningless. Ulimately, everything and everyone is meaningless in a dead cold universe. That's the end result of atheism. No wonder they want to kill everyone off it seems.

  • gtfo out of these interesting topics you ignorant asshat

  • atheists aren't a people, do you mean scientists? and if yes then get the fuck off the computer you primitive fuck where did your god come from? and if nowhere then you know just as much as everyone else except you are claiming a tottaly irrational claim that god came from nowhere and created everything

  • Religious zealots should STFU and mind their own business. If there is a god, they will be dealt unbearable suffering so that they can appreciate what these unfortunate people were driven to in terms of ending their own misery. Choosing an exit takes great courage; living according to mythology, judging others, and trying to control other people's behavior because it doesn't align with their dogma is retarded. PS - Nembutal is medicine you retard.

  • Comment removed

  • Atheists love death. It is like a religion to them. They celebrate the murder 42 million unborn helpless babies each year. They revel in sexual immorality that results in the spread of std's and aids that kills 1270 Americans a month. Etc... etc... etc... and when they get power oh boy then the fun really begins. They killed off 70 million Chinese just last century when they took control. The crusades, on both sides, amounted to a paltry 1 million. Suicide is just the last bead on a long string.

  • and who's celebrating dead babies retard? and oh yes! im glad you mentioned stds!!!! you claim your imaginary friend created everything but all loving?? i think not haha and since atheists aren't a people "they" kill no one just people with corrupt ideals do not people that simply dont believe in a irrational book and again atheists are not a people!

  • so "they" again never took control becasue "they" don't exist theism isnt a religion in itself like A-theism isnt there are theism tends to have all the corrupt religions that claim bullshit A-theism dosent it has Buddhism thats about it im sure they are some more tho they follow teachings of a guy named Buddha which historically did exist and no magical powers

  • i fall under the category of an A-theistic person i don't believe in a creator and i don't follow any religions but i have my own personal beliefs like i think ghosts exist but i cant prove it but i dont tell people there wrong for not believing in ghosts

  • Ahh yes the religion of artilisitc. A lot of ignorant people make up their own personal religions synergizing whatever sounds and feels good to them. Sometimes they even attract others and get a little cult going. Has nothing to do with the truth or reality but it feels good and I guess in this post Christian age of modern liberal post revisionist subjectivism that's all that really matters. Lol.. until they die of course.

  • your a moron i didnt make my own religion focus! to thw point fuck head i dont follow religion because its all bs i fall under the catagory of an A-theist and you fall under Theist is that your religion? are you a people? no same with Atheism not a people we all think differently that was the point you claim all this shit on atheists when A-theists dont exist as a whole like nazis killed hitler was a catholic he was a theist but he ws a catholic and made up nazism a religion in itself

  • Your stupid and brainwashed by religion, every drop of free will and independend thinking has been sucked out of you by the religious establishment wich has imprisoned you, your nothing more than a tool

  • Negative anotherantichristhasgoneoutint­otheworldnamed6The6Beast6. You are simply deceived by Satan and will receive your eternal punishment in due course unless you make that change. If you're curious about where you're currently headed to spend eternity check out A Land Unknown: Hell's Dominion. Right now that's your final "resting" place.

  • I dont believe in magical places, sorry, I think I grew out of it when I was 6. How old are you?

  • Not magical places Beast. That's your ignorance speaking through you. Extradimensionality is a proven fact and a very useful utility in the astrophycists toolbox. Someday you're going to be held captive in a very unpleasant one and you'll have nobody to blame but yourself. No one else will ever hear you again.

  • So every time someone fantises about a place, I just have to believe it? Well that would be retarded. The fact that you believe such bullshit points to your low intelligence. Oh no, here comes the christian scare tactic. You people will pay for the hatred and intolerance you plant into the minds of children. You are going to hell, hell is not a place. It's the state you mind will be in when you finally realise that you have been a worker of evil.

  • I have two advanced degrees and an undergraduate bachelor's of science Beasty all with an A average. My intelligence is high enough above your's that I actually know what I am talking about (unlike you). Did you know that almost half of the scientists in the world believe in God and almost seventy percent of doctors do? It's true friend. Exercising your intelligence is coming to understand God exists. Now go do something good.

  • Advanced degrees? Christians would say anything. Half the scientists are obligated to say they believe in god to avoid persecution by people like you. There is not one scientific piece of evidence, you or anyone can present to prove the existence of a "god" entity wich would not be confined by it's own physical laws.

  • Especially the truth. Yes advanced degrees. How many do you have? 0. You make a false assertion. The current bias in the scientific community is the opposite and common knowledge. The many scientists who understand the best fit for the evidence supports the existence of God are the ones most often persecuted. The scientific evidence for God is overwhelming but you are so ignorant you cannot even name a single example. Tragic. Another twisted product of the dumbed down public school system.

  • I have never seen any data or mathematical theories supporting a "god entity" and neither have you. Lying won't get you anywhere christian. I don't need to brag about my degrees to prove my point christian. Your first 3 sentences already proved that you are the lesser creature.

  • That's because you didn't know where to look. There's many. You can start by reading 'More Than a Theory: Revealing a Testable Model for Creation' by Dr. Hugh Ross Phd (University of Toronto post doctoral research done at Cal-Tech as a fellow) which was compiled after decades of hard work by RTB which is an organization of thousands of scientists and researchers from all over the world. As for lying, that's your father the devil's job. I see you following in his foosteps.

  • Evidence can only present itself in the form of data. Evolution has been proven and even observed under the microscope (you should'v paid attention in class). Ross is an embarresment to the sientific community, fails to understand the panspermia hypothesis and even a 12 year old could find major gaps in his speculative reasoning. It is clear to me the man denies recorded sientific data and misrepresents them to fit his own christian agenda. He constantly seeks to solve problems with "god".

  • There is a large body of data for the existence of God. Secondly, consider the following truth, "Instrumentalist science would argue that though quarks are not empirically testable, using them as a plausible explanation is still considered legitimate within science." How much more positing God explains a common origin for certain natural phenomena (the universe, complexity of DNA, etc.), but also connects these phenomena to the purpose of the universe and the purpose and meaning of human life.

  • Thirdly, evolutionary theory does not disprove the existence of God. Famous scientists and researchers like Francis Collins (Former Director who led the Human Genome Project to successful resolution and converted to Christianity btw) recognizes the data and the evidence clearly showed the existence of God but also states, We can peek into evolution's lab notebook and see what went on there. He did and found God Refutations of your lies that Christians reject data and science are all around you

  • My job would be a lot easier if I could solve my algorithms by inserting god for every unknown variable. Somehow I don't think I would get paid as much. Now stop embarrasing yourself by arguing with me :)

  • Arguing with you is like arguing with an ill informed rebellious child full of bias based on false assertion. You are clueless.

  • You say there is data to prove it, still, it is nowhere to be found.

  • I gave you a couple of resources already. Start there. There are thousands of scholarly publications, yes including Nature, and hundreds of excellent books filled with data related to the existence of God. Put down the bong and get to work.

  • I'v went trough all the theories. In Francis Collins god theorie I could just replace your "god of the bible" with Vishnu, Rakshasa, giant magical wizard, or unknown crystal entity. The problem is that even if a "god" entity would exist, you, me and the rest of humanity couldn't even comprehend it's dimensions, let alone write a book about it and claim to know what the entity was thinking.

  • That's why I think the bible (or any religious book) is are such works of ignorance. The bible = the pure arrogance of a human being claiming to know the intentions of a would be multi dimensional entity.

  • The big problems with all the theories the christian "sientists" come up with, is that in the end, they never get to the bottom of things. They just end there algorithms with "God", Pow, dead end, since they don't know what god is and they stop questioning everything. We atheists don't do that. We keep searching till we find the answer and never use the god wildcard.

  • If there is a god, I would wanne know how "it" works and I'd be analyzing/dissecting it. Than I would wanne know how god came to be. If that ain't the ultimate blasphemy...

  • Well, even if a god existed and said "dont kill yourself" I think it would still be the individuals right.

    Just because a god might have more power then you, it doesnt give it the right to dicate how you should live your life, or what you should think.

    And if it punishes you for that, Sends you to hell for example. Then it is not a being worthy of praise anyway.

  • We'll see if you'll be singing the same tune if you ever have the misfortune of suffering from a painful terminal illness, you judgmental right wing fuck.

  • Comment removed

  • That's not bravery to suck down some Nembitol. Staying around and using your experience to help others suffering is the brave approach. And this guy who spend his whole life pushing abortion, homosexuality, godlessness, etc... on society went straight to hell without Christ where he would give ANYTHING to comeback and repent. But it's too late for him now.

  • Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem in most cases. For the rest, it's a chickens way out of the life God gave them (unless they are on life support which is removed because they are in a vegetative state).

  • you may not have the right to choose if you want to be born inn to this world, but you allways have the right to choose not to live inn it , because if one dose not want to life who are we to force life opon him or her, when he or she dose not want it.

  • I'm freedom and liberty which is why I'm opposed to these hate and thought crime Federal attempts to destroy our first amendment rights as the first step toward forcing an authoritarian state ideology upon us; however, I find it interesting that the very people that work hard to see that done then want the right for the government to condone them killing themselves. Typically many people are affected when someone kills themself and this will increase when the state forces doctors to assist.

  • Suicide is a permanent solution to a permanent problem not the other way around. What if you had no money for your whole life? That right there is permanent. If God gives you life then how come he doesn't give you money and he is always making our lives for the worse not the better. God is testing you is a bunch of bull. That is cruel if you say God is testing you.

  • @kmoney2800 There is no god you retard.

  • @Foufoumoro I feel sorry for those who impose their views on other people. That includes those for or against religious beliefs!

  • @kmoney2800 Of course, but sometimes it's not a permanent problem.

  • @kmoney2800 , fuck money, these people have worse problems.....

  • ah ahh ahh ahh stayin' alive!

    (BeeGee's)

  • Creig Ewert and his family are very brave. I have an incurable illness and am suffering every min of every day. I have contemplated my options and don't know if i could be so brave. People in this situation should be offered the option even if they don't use it. This decision is the most difficult one that one could ever make and it should not be looked down upon. The movie A Short Stay in Switzerland (here on Youtube) depicts this situation with the upmost dignity. You should watch it!

  • I would gladly take your place. Isn't life funny that way?

  • You want to suffer day in and day out with no releif in sight, not even death for years? Careful what you wish for. I can't help but think death would be better.

  • Yes Emily if I could take your place I still would no matter how bad it hurt.

  • another thing, why is suicide illegal? what are they going to do? come arrest your dead body? lets just face it. if somebody was upset enough to kill themself, theyre not going to care about weither or not its against the law

  • if some teenager (Im a teenager) wants to kill themselves because theyre parents wont let them go to a club, or because of some guy, thats just being a coward. all it does it hurt the people that love that person. now if somebody is in serious pain, to a point where they cant even really live life because they cant move. they deserve to be able to escape that. in that situation, theyre loved ones should be helping them be comfortable until they want to finally leave.

  • my mom was paralyzed from the neck down when she was pregnant by me.

  • hey don't die!!!!!!!! stay alive!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you for your great documentary, it touched me deeply. It is a real eye-opener. I watched it in the Netherlands on the humanist "channel". Thank you.

  • Angers me that all these selfish religious people and ignorant people against assissted suicide have a such a big say in this. Its ridiculous. its because the people that are against it want to maintain their own happiness that it is wrong because that belief gives the person that is against it hope in their own lives....so by saying that you are against suicide because you "believe" it is wrong....that is just plain selfish man....

  • people that are against suicide have never been in "real" pain. Obviously the pope is against suicide because he's not in real pain. Very selfish is you ask me....to not let someone who wants to die, die. I gaurantee you.... you cripple a person that is against suicide....put him in a wheel chair, put that person in enough pain....and they will definetily change their views on assisted suicide.

  • thank you
