No, it’s that we have a very unequal healthcare system. That’s fucked up. Because of that, we don’t want to legalize this just for people to choose physician assisted suicide out of financial pressure (for example, to avoid being in medical debt). It’s sad but it’s true.

In the 11 states that currently allow DwD, the perimeters are very clear. A person diagnosed terminal with 6mo or less to live can can verbalise their wishes to take a life ending drug sooner (with vetting). No ambiguity.

From western Mass too, there’s only a couple of things I know about the southeast region of the state. 1) Gillette stadium and Tweeter/Comcast Center(old name) are around the Attleboro area of the state because I’ve been to concerts there. 2) Sandwich and Hyannis is where I pass by to get to Provincetown/Cape Cod. Lol

Just like we can’t expect folks in the eastern side of the state to know much about western Mass, eastern folks shouldn’t expect us to know much about the eastern side unless it’s a tourist destination like Boston, Gillette, Comcast Center and the Cape area.

I get that. I think the argument in the article is that because we don’t have Universal Health Care, people would be pressured to choose this because they don’t want to go into medical debt. I don’t this that is something we should allow.

The story isn't just about the family, though.

There's a Springfield in almost every state.

I can’t imagine going through something like that and watching someone you love be in so much agony and discomfort. My grandfather (in Canada) used Assisted Dying when he had terminal cancer. It was such a brave choice of his, and a relief for him as well. He died before his appointment but it brought him peace to know that it would end soon.

Sounds like you’re one of the enablers, maybe grow a pair instead of making excuses

You need to get out more.

Bedford New York is too I’m pretty sure

Sorry, I didn’t mean financial pressure. But people should have the option to do this sooner. I wouldn’t want to live the end of my life trapped in my body, not able to do anything, not able to communicate readily, maybe not able to breathe on my own, maybe in a nursing home. The financial pressure and burden on my family would certainly be a consideration. But not the primary issue. Some people want every second they can get and that should also be their option.

That's just fraud with extra steps.

I kinda agree with this. I know someone who got benefits through the entire pandemic while making onlyfans vids making a ton of cash…

You're the only one here talking about trump. Take your day old account and go away

Arlington gas station owners also stated their opposition self-serve because smaller stations wouldn't have room for separate full vs self pumps and the overall cost to retrofit the existing payment terminals.

I think people like the feeling of control self-serve gets them, mostly saving a little time not waiting for the attendant to walk over or the implication that you're not responsible enough to pump your own gas.

You’re in part the reason we have trump goons

Also commercial spaces.

Nobody lives in the financial district.

Boston also has lots of commercial space and other stuff like museums, hospitals, and other non-residential facilities.

Okay where on this map is the cheap rent with a reasonable commute into Boston? s/

This clearly doesn't count John Quabbin, the lovely but eccentric lake monster who lives in the middle of the Quabbin reservoir.
