Honestly, I think VAD should be available for EVERYONE, not just if you're terminally ill. Why should i have to live this stupid shitty life because it will upset someone? I don't really even have anyone. It's just me and my cats. They would find a new home. But i have to live this shitty life because.... no one will be upset? Fuck this shit.

I have a myriad of mental health issues. Why can't i die because my life fucking sucks balls? Why should i have to live my life because, uhh.... no one... will be upset? I'm afraid to do it myself again, because i could make shit even fucking worse. Why can't I have VAD?

What is the "V" in V Assisted Death? I can't figure out what the V means.

Probably voluntary or something similar implying consent.

Yup. It’s “voluntary”
