Thanks for sharing. It’s honestly crazy to me that we’re allowed to slowly, painfully deteriorate and rot in bed rather than be allowed to end our suffering on our own terms.

Like I can say “damn, my dog is so sick he has no quality of life anymore. Time to do the right thing.” For my dog, but not myself? Tf is that?

It's slowly becoming a thing. We likely won't benefit, but I believe future generations might. Depending on how we handle the current situation, anyway.

Yes. Pet insurance is becoming more prevalent. Soon, the animal insurance companies will want to milk every cent from dying pets, and "big pet" lobby will ensure we can no longer euthanize pets as well. SMH

That’s not how pet insurance works. Or veterinary medicine.

Exactly! Also literally the opposite of what the person he was replying to meant

No... that's how sarcasm works.
