Honda is a total asshole, but I actually agree with a few of his points, somewhat.
Assisted suicide should
ALWAYS be a choice, and IMHO should never be illegal. If I'm ever crippled, or shitting myself all day without any autonomy, you better believe I'm going to take that Fenty ride to the afterlife. Some of these old folk's lives aren't lives to me, it's a state of purgatory, a vegetable wasting away to the inevitable end.
That is a life I never want to have, I very much plan to leave on my own terms when the time comes.
I don't understand all the arguing in this thread, what's the fucking point? There is nothing our elected officials can do that will appease everyone, we live in a society sharply divided and polarized, we're essentially fucked until this ride is over here.
I haven't seen anyone offer any realistic solutions that would work in this type of society, this whole thing reminds me of climate change, an issue we know that's happening, but no one cares enough to make any sacrifices or changes. As such, we'll ride this baby until the wheels fall off.
