No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is society at large okay with euthanasia for pets but not for humans?
15·8 days agoIt’s honestly kind of depressing. I went all out for my dog’s end of life care, ensuring it was as dignified as possible and he was as comfortable as he could be, and I hate the idea that if I were to ever come down with Alzheimer’s or something, instead of going on my own terms in the comfort of my home with people I know and love, I would instead be kept alive as long as possible and then probably die with indignity, terrified and confused and not recognizing anyone around me or even my own self.
On one hand I am glad of what I was able to do for my dog, I loved him to death. I just wish that I could be afforded that same dignity when it’s my turn to go.
Also worth noting it’s extremely dangerous to do with an untrained dog. All it takes is and enthusiastic “come here!” or a treat or something and now another person has access to your firearm while you don’t have anything.

There really needs to be a national march on the capital for anyone willing and able. Not just some passive no kings too, there needs to be some serious pressure and disruption. Literally anyone who can take a couple days off work and travel to DC. No kings was a good first step, but it absolutely needs to be ramped up, and fast.

Imho it’s on the fast track to reaching that point. It’s been getting bad for years and only been accelerated over the past year and a half.
