  • Except part of that response is because suffocating is uncomfortable. If I had to die id rather drift off to sleep. Your grandstanding here isn’t going to get rid of the death penalty in Alabama. It may as well be more humane. Unless you are for more discomfort to make a point.

    There was a dude who used to sell kits for people to kill themselves with helium. Random people can manage it with a hood they put on themselves. Its less prone to error than other forms such as lethal injection where they have to be able to hit a vein and not blow it.


  • Biden absolutely should be fighting this battle. I won’t hold my breath as i assume the Supreme Court will butt in but he should at least be trying. I don’t see why he wouldn’t given that it would be politically beneficial… then again ive seen him get more raked over the coals for trying on other issues (like student loans) when others who do less dont get near the scrutiny so politically it might not be all that helpful. Its still the right thing to do though. People are dying and red states have decided they have no obligation to follow EMTALA.

    Things can be emergencies before people are actually in the process of dying. They consider labor an emergency medical condition under EMTALA and the vast majority of the time people dont die from it. Many could even get by with no medical care at all (not that we should do that). If labor fucking counts so should dying a little more slowly than active dying.

    Transferring patients out of the ER does not absolve them. Its disappointing and fucked that this is being allowed to happen.











  • Don’t let ideals get in the way of good. While what you say is true, he could literally help no one if he hadn’t followed this business model. He wouldn’t have the cash. His videos bring in more cash which can help more people. Yes he makes money too but its more distasteful to me to be someone like you who prefers less people get help if someone else profits from it than it is to be someone like him who helps more people than you are and also makes money from it.

    A bit rich for you to be saying his way is wrong when you probably haven’t ponyed up your own cash to help even a fraction of the people. The world you want to exist does not. Everything has a cost. Id rather people do some good in exchange for that cost than wish everyone did everything for free which incentivizes no one to do anything.

    I don’t watch him. His videos don’t really appeal for me but I recognize the good that can be done in such a format.
