"It is understood that she stopped drinking water on 16 September and was frustrated that her death wasn’t days after, but two weeks."

quote:


An elderly woman has starved herself to death to get around the UK’s tight and restrictive laws on assisted suicide.

Octogenarian Jean Davies, who is also a right-to-die campaigner, spent five weeks attempting to end her life and succeeded in doing so on 1 October.

The former maths teacher, 86, did not have a terminal illness, but suffered a range of conditions that made her life uncomfortable including chronic back pain and fainting episodes.

She told the Sunday Times: “It is hell. I can’t tell you how hard it is. You wouldn’t decide this unless you thought your life was going to be so bad. It is intolerable.”

It is understood that she stopped drinking water on 16 September and was frustrated that her death wasn’t days after, but two weeks.

I am glad we fought WWII so that we can force the elderly to Auschwitz themselves lol

Governments don't want to legalize suicide because it would be a huge PR gently caress up if a large swath of the populace legally commits suicide due to that government's lovely policies making life hell for them

What a weird way to kill yourself. The only reason prisoners starve themselves to death is because they can't do stuff like buy a ducati and crash head-first into a statue of winston churchill at 200 mph.

Malmo? I mean the dignitias suicide clinic is in switzerland which is in central europe, but I'm pretty sure you could find someone willing to kill you in Malmo.

I can't believe she chose starving though, I am not in the UK but you should be able to put together an exit bag very cheaply and easily.

I mean, poo poo, just take 30 advil with a bottle of liquor and take a nap.

Starving takes weeks and is agonizingly painful. Why?????

it does say that she thought it would be a matter of days after beginning to dehydrate herself. tbh though severe depression can make a person stop eating and drinking but leave them too mentally scrambled to get their poo poo together to do a quick suicide
