You want a 117-F complaint form on yellow paper. You can get those from the Ministry of Information across town. They're open every second Tuesday. They'll also tell you that they'll need a certified referral slip to give you the 117-F form so we'll be seeing you in a fortnight to start this over.

Not sure if this should be surprising or not but MrsMachineGun watched ten news last night - no mention of coppers running people over. Open IE this morning (GPO means we can't change the homepage) and the MSN news scroller didn't have any mention of it either

That 100 year old scientist David Goodall who got fired from Sydney University because he kept trying to kill himself threw up his hands and said "fine, I'll just buy a suicide in Switzerland" and is now dead Good for him I s'pose The Peccadillo fucked around with this message at 02:51 on May 11, 2018 |

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-10/david-goodall-ends-life-in-a-powerful-statement-on-euthanasia/9742528 David Goodall, who is 104 years old, is travelling to Switzerland for euthanasia due to age rather than illness. What's everyone's view on this? I have a grandmother whose health has gone downhill the past 18 months, going from someone who was relatively mobile and able to do most things by herself to being petrified about going out of her room or to the toilet without assistance from a nurse or relative and spends most of her time in a bed or chair. She has mentioned a number of times the past few months that she just wants it all to end and wants to meet up with her parents and husband in the afterlife. Should Victoria's euthanasia laws be adjusted to allow people who are of sound mind, which she still is, to just go "well, I am 90+ years old, but it's time to clock out" rather than just wasting away?

Mandatory euthanasia at 50 years of age. Failing that yes an old person should be able to throw their hands in the air and say gently caress this of their own volition.

I definitely think there should be an old age option for voluntary euthanasia. Once you get to a point when you can't do your favourite activities anymore or really do anything independently and there's objectively no real hope of improvement in quality of life, a peaceful death on your own terms should definitely be available. there are the obvious issues where people could be pressured into it by impatient and/or callous family members but a bit of policy thought could probably account for that

Sam Simon talked about this before dying of cancer. His life was becoming more and more lovely but he said something along the lines of "I've got five favourite things and they're all ruined except for lying down watching tv. When that gets too hard I'll go" and he did. If you can't do a single thing that gives you some pleasure or respite it's fair to want to check out.
