Grandma Selling Suicide Kit on the Web

I feel that nobody who wouldn’t kill themselves would order one of these.

However, if she was that compassionate wouldn’t she be giving them away?

The government can’t balance it’s own budget yet it thinks it has the knowledge, the experience, and the wisdom, and the legal right to tell people they can’t control their own lives (including when it should be terminated).

WTF?????

Maybe the government should outlaw gravity next.

there’s nothing in her kit that can’t be purchased in a Walmart, it could just as easily be marketed as an auto-erotic asphyxiation device… Her product doesn’t kill anyone, unless they go to the length of buying the helium from someone else. Are they going after razor blade manufacturers now? Tall building owners? Car companies for carbon monoxide?

Most if not all people who have at some point the impulse to want to kill themselves can actually be helped.

“Suicide is not chosen; it happens when pain exceeds resources for coping with pain.”

Kevorkian, compassionate? You’ve actually read Kevorkian’s history, haven’t you? The requests to experiment on prisoners that are on death row, and harvest their organs? His attempts to use cadaver blood on living patients? His use of cadaver blood for painting? Not to mention the fact that the people he killed were not in physical pain, they were psycologically depressed and needed councilling, not murder.

Kevorkian has the profile of a serial killer. And a con man, too, since he has convinced so many people that his obsession with death is ‘compassion.’

The problem is, the people ordering these kits may be experiencing major depression or another treatable mental illness. Even chronic pain is treatable in most cases and many people with chronic pain benefit from psychological intervention. People who kill themselves due to these things are acting on impulses fueled by depressed or distressed cognitions. A part of them is choosing to die, but what these people usually want – REALLY want – is MORE life not less. We ALL might think about killing ourselves when things get too tough but people who don’t have the coping skills or social resources actually go through with it. They can be helped in the overwhelming majority of cases. Helping people to commit suicide is not the answer.

…helium? We’re currently experiencing a shortage of helium! WTF grandma?!

There’s a difference between people with depression, who can be helped, and someone with a terminal illness, who can’t. It’s cruel to force people to live in pain and misery. Also I wonder if the Oregon man is the man on Reddit who posted he was going to end his life after a long illness… I think I remember him saying he was from Oregon…

“Helium — when inhaled in its pure form — is deadly.”
Ahhhhh,NO…. Helium is inert.
But if all you have to breathe is helium you’ll die of oxygen deprivation tho….

The day doctors are allowed to kill people is the day anyone should be allowed to practice medicine.

The only problem with this is the press is now publicizing an easy, painless way to kill yourself. Neatorama included. THAT is irresponsible.
