Je ne connais pas une douloureuse chronique qui n'a jamais pensé à en finir pour que ça s'arrête. Alors qu'on a une furieuse envie de vivre. C'est la douleur qui soit s'arrêter, pas notre vie. Mais quand dans un moment plus difficile nous dirons "je veux crever", on nous soutiendra?

On aurait cru qu'un parti "progressiste" aurait d'abord garanti un droit à vivre dignement, au lieu de faire le job de la droite néolibérale, de l'extrême droite et des libertariens. La loi que vous souhaitez est dangereuse et elle causera d'immenses préjudices. bsky.app/profile/them... 1/20

The case for euthanasia and doctor-assisted suicide
Published on

November 22, 2020
As libertarians, it requires virtually no provocation for us to proclaim support for the liberties of all humans. 

Rights to life, property, and expression are values many of us consider as natural and logical as the law of gravity, and we’d defend our positions in a heartbeat to anyone who might suggest that we not be afforded these freedoms. 

Not heard often, however, is an argument for perhaps a more complicated liberty that is deserving of deeper contemplation and support in the movement: the right to choose one’s death.

The right to die
Euthanasia, from the Greek “good death,” along with “do not resuscitate” orders are bioethical issues that cut to the core of the human experience, but are rarely considered by libertarians. 

Patrick Henry unknowingly made a perfect summary of the case for euthanasia in his famous proclamation, “Give me liberty, or give me death.” We focus so much on the call for these liberties that the second half is frequently forgotten.

Yet, does it not seem rational to assume that when an individual has reached the point in his or her life where they are no longer truly free, be it due to a crippling terminal illness or mental deterioration that takes away their ability to care for themselves, that they have the right to choose to no longer live that unfree or otherwise constrained life?
