I wholeheartedly believe that we need to make it easier for severely disabled people to end their life. For example around 80% of people after a spinal cord injury are unemployed and it's about the same for the being single. But that's all spinal cord injuries which include paraplegics (full upper extremity function) quadriplegics (little to no upper body functions, cervical injuries in the C-3 vertebrae and up are almost always dependent on a ventilator to breath). C5 complete dangerous and up, to live 40 to 50 years cost anywhere between $3 million to 3.5 million... and that is the bare minimum lifestyle (injuries at this level, Live lives that are entirely predicated on caregivers ergo dependency).

I would say all high quadriplegics Think about/wish for death especially within the first five years… After that many of them develop a kind of stockhome syndrome to the disability and dependent lifestyle.

Obviously these kind of severe disabilities are quite taxing on the economy.

What is your opinion on the matter?

> for the sceptical retard, I'am a C5 which means I can still control my shoulders and biceps ergo I can type using the proximal knuckle of my pinky finger, but mostly rely on voice dictation.
