Reply to comment by [deleted] in Connecticut lawmakers considering legislation to give terminally ill patients medical aid in dying by 76before84

Shit is too bleak these days to deny anyone the right to end their suffering.

These days?

Right? We live in unquestionably the best time in history. Suffering still exists of course, but people need to appreciate what we have.

You know this is for terminally ill people in pain right, and not people down on the state of affairs "these days", right?

Of course I know that. Have you ever dealt with a terminal illness? Shit is BLEAK. I have had to watch too many loved ones suffer just because. My aunt was a mess for over a year. It's horrific & expensive.

Just making sure. The "these days" part threw me.

“Expensive” too. Gosh, the slippery slope doesn’t waste any time.
