Life is a terminal illness.

Because they’re religious.

I don't know what the initial justification was, but I did learn that it is beneficial to some drivers.

I went to college in NJ and had a friend in a wheelchair who had a car. He certainly appreciated that all gas stations were full-serve.

Compassion is hilarious

> I can't even begin to tell you the horror stories of baystate. But I'll sum it up by the time a doctor dropped an iPad on my head and started laughing uncontrollably. I was there for a concussion.

Can confirm. I was told by my Baystate PCP that their office couldn't/wouldn't diagnose or treat strep throat. I can't imagine how it is if you have cancer or something.

Nope. You’re talking out of your ass and that’s a massive false equivalency. You’re really good at tossing around fallacies, though.

Born and raised in weymouth. Genuinely drove for a year and a half before i had to finally learn to pump my own gas in New Hampshire. Felt like a princess leaving the castle for the first time

They have no incentive to continue if other states have not followed in assisted suicide. Now that its gaining steam in the US expect Oregon to take the next step. Massachusetts passed gay marriage in 2004 other states followed. Now its national. Now we're discussing Trans kids. See how this works?

I was on that highway at that exact spot at 4:38 pm and I did not see this and I’m disappointed

Went south of the pike once in 40 years. That was enough

That's messed up. Never knew this. Been through Weymouth, maybe a trillion times too.

I’m literally not living in Canada, and “pushing for” something doesn’t mean it will happen. Lots of laws get “pushed for” across the country. Doesn’t automatically make them happen.

The DwD law has existed for over 20 years in Oregon and no slopes have been slid in that time. It has been legalized in several other states since then, and amazingly, the laws have held fast and far fewer terminal patients have actually taken advantage of these acts than doomsdayers projected.

Definitely a purple bug!

Slippery slope has happened on a bunch of issues. They're literally pushing assisted suicide in Canada for mental illness not just the terminally ill. Maybe you're not paying attenetion.

Damn, doing them dirty like that, but my ass literally nevers goes south shore so i believe it

Lmao

So then I’d imagine you reject all medical intervention?

If I built a piece of furniture I’d be perfectly in my rights to destroy it. But since I didn’t create my life, it’s not ok that I destroy it.

I have been in and out of Baystate my entire life. I have always liked the care. One of their GIs saved my life with an operation none of his colleagues said would work.

Source?

I live in Westfield now, and have had two overnight stays at Noble. I was alive when I left.

Is that your first time seeing it ??

Access to health care is just another way of saying access to money.

Having money affects our lives in all sorts of ways.

some places in Quincy too. I have to keep a mental note which gas stations are full service and avoid them

We currently have 11 states in which it is legal. Oregon has provided this procedure for 20 years. All things considering we shouldn’t allow a hypothetical, something that hasn’t happened, prevent someone from being allowed to end their suffering. Just to reiterate, the bill allows a person diagnosed terminal to end their suffering on their terms.
