    Euthanasia

    Living in a Buddhist country, I recognize that this subject is taboo. However, with research & technology, an open minded & more flexible approach must be the subject of continual review.
    SOI DOGS
    The time is fast approaching critical. A macro view will be required to ensure that Thailand provides maximum happiness to all beings. Viewing animals in extreme pain is cruel in my opinion.
    HUMANS
    With improvements in science, life expectation is being prolonged but at what expense?
    The current model of caring for our elderly at home will become uneconomical as people seek more material comforts.

    I personally support euthanasia but would not break the law of the land. Social researchers are charged with the responsibility of enabling a review & possible legislationใ

    Doesn't matter about the law when your dead.
    Bottle of spirits and a pack of pills.

    Even if LOS goes the way of the most liberal Western countries re: euthanasia, that would only mean those with an incurable disease would qualify. The most liberal country, Belgium, also allows euthanasia for those who have an "unbearable psychological suffering" but it's the only country with that provision.

    If I get to that stage.... bucket full of morphine in my bed with my loved ones around me, or maybe ushered out of the room after saying our goodbyes.

    I would not expect Thailand to be leaders in the field.
    Any change would surprise me.

    Not as easy as one would imagine with morphine.

    Dying is not easy with anything legal.
    Getting a script for morphine is very difficult & repeat scripts similar. I was on morphine when I had cancer. The side effects are not enjoyable.

    Nembutal is currently the drug of choice for human euthanasia in countries where that is legal, making it an unsurprising choice for people wishing to end their own lives in other countries. Given it is highly effective, its use is tightly controlled, and thus it is extremely difficult to get hold of at all, and almost impossible to obtain legally. One of the reasons why many people resort to less effective drugs.

    I have read that many/all of the above contain an ingredient preventing you from consuming the doses mentioned ie overdosing.

    If that was true the same ingredient should prevent accidental overdoses as well:
    While deaths from overdoses of heroin and narcotic painkillers like Oxycontin have surged in recent years, a new report finds the same thing is happening with widely used sedatives such as Xanax, Valium and Ativan.

    In 2013, overdoses from these drugs, called benzodiazepines, accounted for 31 percent of the nearly 23,000 deaths from prescription drug overdoses in the United States, researchers said.

    Far too many suicide attempts with the drugs mentioned above end up with liver or kidney failure, horrendous vomiting, complete loss of bowel and bladder control, extreme pain and not death.

    Any attempt at suicide through ingestion really needs the plastic bag, asphyxiation method as well.

    Nembutal is certainly the preference at the moment. Thai vets stock it, allegedly.
