"I'm Not Gon' Be Able To Do!"

LONDON (AFP) – A British multiple sclerosis sufferer lost her court bid Thursday to clarify the law on whether her husband could be prosecuted if he helped her travel to commit suicide abroad.

Wheelchair-bound Debbie Purdy, 45, had asked the Court of Appeal in London to clarify the law on assisted suicide, as her health is rapidly deteriorating. In England and Wales under the 1961 Suicide Act, aiding and abetting suicide is a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Purdy wanted to know if her husband, Cuban violinist Omar Puente, would be prosecuted if he helped her travel to die in a country where assisted suicide is legal, such as Switzerland, where more than 100 Britons have been helped to end their lives through voluntary euthanasia. However, three appeal judges ruled she was not legally entitled to the kind of guidance she was seeking.

Purdy has said that without clearer guidance, she would have to travel earlier to commit suicide abroad because otherwise Puente would have to help her -- and risk jail in the process.

I had no idea that assisted suicides were legal anywhere! Man, Switzerland is a progressive country. Now, the thing about being human, in case you aren’t human and stumbled upon my blog somehow, its easy to die. Humans are a delicate ass creature. Why does this lady have to find someone to kill her?

Maybe its an insurance thing. Like, her husband cant get cash if she kills herself. I also wonder how much it costs to have someone kill you? This is crazy. Couldn’t you just go outside and step into traffic? There’s sharp objects all over the place. You don’t have o go all the damned way to another country to die. A bar of soap can kill you. Sneezing too hard can kill you. You can shit yourself to death.

It kinda sucks that she has to drag her husband into this. Like, I know that they’re married and all that but ain’t nothing in the vows that say shit about having to help off someone.

“Hey, baby. You know I’m dying. Can you kill me?”

“Damn, look at the time! Uh…”

Don’t be asking your spouses to kill you.

Rockets.
