What’s so terrible about the MAID option?

80% of a person’s medical expenses occur in the last 2 years of life when the ghouls hook you up and milk you for all your worth. Who wants that? Also as a Buddhist I believe that your state of mind at death determines your rebirth. If I can go peacefully in a state of love and grace, more’s the better. Finally, my body my choice. Why are people against it?

I agree that everybody should have to choice to leave with dignity.

BUT: You seriously don't see how this can be horrifically abused en masse? (There are plenty of stories about that it has been already abused.) Have you not been paying attention in the last 4 years? Do you really think it is a good idea to make a state mandated medical board directly decide who lives and dies?

I was born in Eastern Europe. Not that long ago, here it was literally categorized a psychiatric disorder to question "the greatness of the socialist state", millions of dissident people (or sometimes just inconvenient people like estranged, divorced wife's of party functionaries) were incarcerated in psychatirc wards, chemically lobotomized or killed.

Because you’re not accepting your soul’s karma. Maybe suffering is part of your karma.

Prepare for your death every single day, as you become more aware of your spiritual side (if you are aware of it), and your own mortality.

I think it’s a form of suicide…it is your choice, though.
