A man in the Netherlands has been allowed to die because he could no longer carry on living as an alcoholic.

Mark Langedijk, a father of two, chose to die on July 14 at his parent's home by lethal injection administered by a doctor, The Independent reported.

An account of the ordeal written by his journalist brother said he was laughing, drinking beer and ham sandwiches with his family hours before dying.

People in the Netherlands who are in "unbearable suffering" with no prospect of improvement can choose to die under euthanasia legislation introduced in 2000.

Fucking lol'd at the sandwich part, seriously, you are going to die and that's what you choose to eat before dying. They weren't memeing when they told me that the national food of Holland is the sandwich.

Perhaps. Still makes him a weak-willed coward.

Did his family know that he was about to kill himself? Why the fuck did they let him to it?
>>
>>68070329
because they're just that progressive you fucking tory wanker bigot
>>
>>68070329
Yes. And why not end his suffering? Better then finding a rotting corpse hanging from a ceiling after the neighbour starts complaining about the smell.
>>
>>68070329
Maybe they felt that if he's able to actually go to the length of actually making the choice that he doesn't feel like life is worth living anymore due to circumstances that he deems unchangable, denying him that choice would be selfish, inhuman and downright cruel?

It's his life, how entitled can you fucking be? There is no such thing as responsibility that must be prioritized before your own actual life and choice to live if you don't happen to live in North Korea, maybe.

If you put other human beings into existence you have a fucking responsibility to take care of them that, for at least the first 18 years, takes precedence over your own life.

I sincerely hope you never have children you disgusting beta cuck.

It's easier to just kill yourself. Getting euthanasia is a very bureaucratic process.

Suicide machines are used in countries where there are no euthanasia laws as legal loopholes.

Well, frankly I support Yuropeans killing themselves. They're a plague on the earth and we're better off without them.

They did. 21 times. Over and over and over and over...

Is this even true? I can only find shady as fuck sources. LINDA magazine is literally female gossip.

If my father chose that option i wouldnt sit with him and have fun hours before dying, i propably would avoid him
How sick is that to have fun with your relatives before chosing to die

>drinking alcohol

Seriously, why people do this?

Sure it gives a slight temporary boost to your confidence and mood, but psychedelics are so much better. Alcohol don't have the same prolonged life changing effect. It doesn't give meaning to your life, it just fucks your body and brain up.

Just use MDMA or something as a party drug. It boosts your mood even more and don't have the shitty sedative effect.
>>
>>68072123
Because it's widely available everywhere and not stigmatized to death by normies. That's literally it.
>>
>>68072230
I know right. I was just being rhetoric.

It's just stupid. If caffeine was discovered today, it would become illegal too and no one would use it.

Legality doesn't mean shit.
>>
>>68072025
Because that's totally the first media outlet to go to for sharing a story about how a family member got euthanized
Because LINDA totally isn't a commercial business who aims to sell as many magazines as possible
Because all those stories in female gossip magazines are totally 100% true and sent in by readers

Why would it? Its just a low-effect stimulant without any serious side effects
The "you can get addicted to coffee" i just a meme, i drink coffee only some weeks to fix my sleeping schedule, other than that i dont even drink it. You can get addicted to coffee only if you dont sleep enough, which is not really an addiction but rather coffee helps you function and you need to fix your sleeping time by yourself

Just like most of the illegal substances if you use them correctly.

He should have killed himself with a good, old-fashioned, all-American heroin overdose, the way God intended.
