Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

To that I would say it's just inhuman that we largely insist suffering people continue until the body they're trapped in literally gives out. It's a sad, pathetic, demeaning way to go, regardless of whether you can also afford groceries and meds.

I think any adult should be able to have a painless opt out option with a 30 day waiting period. We treat people's lives as if they don't own them to do with what they will. I don't think it's right to encourage or insist people who are breaking down to cling to their misery when there are painless options we refuse to implement.

It's a bit of a bad joke really, we don't care enough about one another to support one another materially tragically, but we also don't want those people to offend the rules of our imaginary sky daddies. It's perverse. We literally have more compassion for our pets living in pain.

Assisted suicide is available in some areas. We've had it here in Oregon for a while. The scary part is when your mind goes, you can't partake in this process because they can't verify that it's what you really want because you're no longer of sound mind even though what's remaining into a husk of the person that used to occupy your body and your future will be full of confusion, isolation, and angry outbursts at everyone around you.
