Hi everyone,
I found a somewhat disturbing study that was done by Kingson University about euthanizing autistic people in the Netherlands. I’ll the link to the article here if anyone wants to read the entire thing.
I’ll leave some excerpts below. View discretion is advised.
Several people with autism and intellectual disabilities have been legally euthanized in the Netherlands in recent years because they said they could not lead normal lives, researchers have found.
The cases included five people younger than 30 who cited autism as either the only reason or a major contributing factor for euthanasia, setting an uneasy precedent that some experts say stretches the limits of what the law originally intended.
In 2002, the Netherlands became the first country to allow doctors to kill patients at their request if they met strict requirements, including having an incurable illness causing “unbearable” physical or mental suffering.
Between 2012 and 2021, nearly 60,000 people were killed at their own request, according to the Dutch government’s euthanasia review committee. To show how the rules are being applied and interpreted, the committee has released documents related to more than 900 of those people, most of whom were older and had conditions including cancer, Parkinson’s and ALS.

I have been dreading this day for years.
Today, I had to say goodbye to my best friend.
Leo has been with me for 13 years. He is the best companion I’ve ever had. A total Momma’s boy, he followed me everywhere. Even if he was fast asleep and I was just going to the bathroom, within 30 seconds he’d show up. I had never had a cat so affectionate before him. He always loved @firemedicdiaz too, and took to her like a second mom when we moved in together, but I was always His Momma.
He was always so funny, so playful, so affectionate. He loved his sister, and when she passed after ten years together, he was lonely, despite all the love I gave him. Six months later, we got Buck, and it was like he was a kitten again. Buck brought out the youth in him for a while and I will always be grateful for that. They played and hung out together for a good two years before Leo started to decline.
For the last year or so Leo has been having health issues. He was diagnosed with diabetes in May of this year after months of losing weight and being sick. By the middle of September, he’d already beaten it and gone into remission. But he’s been having problems ever since. He lost so much weight and no matter how much he ate, he couldn’t gain it back.
He developed feline dementia last year, but it got significantly worse after the stress of his illness. For weeks now he’s been confused, having bathroom accidents all over, crying and wandering aimlessly. He also clearly had some arthritis, as he stopped jumping up on most surfaces, walked gingerly and hesitated when lowering himself down.
He still was having some good days, but they were decreasing, and the digestive issues were constant. Poor guy couldn’t go a day without issue, and he was always hungry no matter how much he ate.
He was not at death’s door, but I know he was headed there. I had that horrible feeling about a week ago, that intuitive premonition that long time pet owners just… know. I made the decision to put him to sleep now, before it became a time where there was no choice left.
I chose to have in-home euthanasia for him, and it was the best thing I’ve ever done. He had an amazing morning, filled with all his favourite treats, all the love he could ever want, and a nice long nap on his favourite cushion in the sun. He ate his favourite treats just two minutes before the sedative kicked in, and then I held him until he fell asleep. His passing was quick and peaceful and I could not have asked for more for him. I wouldn’t have wanted him to go any other way. His two moms will miss him more than he will ever know, but at least he is at peace now.
****
So long, my sweet boy. You were the best friend I could ever have asked for and then some. I will never forget you. Go find your sister; I’m sure she will have lots of stories to tell after 3 years apart.
I’ll see you again when it’s time, and you can regale me with all of your stories and purrs and aggressive nuzzles. Love you, buddy. Til we meet again. 🌈❤️🤍🖤

this is a weird question, but how do you think something like rabies could be handled?
Ahaha
Rabies is 100% fatal, without fail. It affects the mind of the animal to make it as likely to spread the illness as possible. They could become bizarrely friendly. They may want to spend more time awake when they shouldn't be.
There is no cure. Nor any palliative care.
As soon as rabies is recognized, the warrior would need to die before they reach the part where they could attack someone. Dying of rabies is slow and horrible, unable to drink, confused, and feverish.
Yew berries would make a relatively quick death, the "seizures" and writhing of canon more closely resembles nightshade poisoning (neurotoxin). Yew attacks the heart, shutting the body down quickly.
Death by rabies one of the worst deaths I know about, and the most serious real-world illness Clan cats could ever face. But lucky for them, rabies has been eradicated in England for quite some time.

Canada Engages In Eugenics
The MAID act is actually making it so that mentally and physically disabled people would be at risk for euthanasia via purposeful eugenics by a governmental body. The fact that I as a multiply disabled person have had to see multiple people defend eugenics under the guise of "it's fear mongering to talk about". I am sick and tired of people who are low support needs deciding because it doesn't affect them people like us with more severe issues deserve to be killed or left for dead.
Track Two MAID is an act that is meant to kill off people not seen as proper workers. This is totalitarian capitalism, and as a socialist there is nothing I hate more than people who support this. It is expanding to people with mental illnesses as well as including non-terminal illnesses. I should not be killed because my legs are shitty, nobody should be killed because their legs our shitty. Nobody should be killed for their mental illness, or deformity, or disability, or developmental disorder, or cognitive impairment. NOBODY SHOULD BE KILLED FOR NOT BEING A GOOD ENOUGH WORKER FOR THE CAPITALIST REGIME.
Here is one opinion piece by a counselor from Canada.
An article on teen vouge
Another opinion piece
And a final article on the subject
Do not talk about an ongoing socio-political issue if you refuse to do your research, holy fuck you people are ghoulish for defending this shit.
The groups pushing this legislation are also trying to kill off disabled children. This isn't about stopping from going through a long painful withering away from a terminal condition or illness- this is eugenics.
CANADIAN DISABLED LIVES ARE IN DANGER

Hello Sasha,
To your left is your favorite blankie, ready for you to lay on. Yes, there are people around but pay them no mind. You’ve lived with me for 10 long years, but your mind has grown fuzzy and your paws ache.
I have taken the time to warm your blankie so that you will be comfortable and sleepy. I know the strange people are approaching with something sharp, but you won’t feel a thing. Now if you will, please close your eyes and dream of mice. It’ll be over soon.
Goodbye, Sasha

First thing this morning, I got a call from my mother, telling me her horse, Roy, had broken his leg and that they'd had to put him down. 🥀
She'd been at work when she'd gotten the call from the woman who owns the stables, so she couldn't be there to say goodbye to him, since she wasn't about to let him lay there in pain for half an hour until she got there.
He was alone in his pasture and nowhere near anything he could've hurt himself on, so it looks like the leg just snapped when he tried to get up after his morning roll. He was 21 years old.
I had to euthanize my boy, Siro, the other horse in these photos, in 2019, and the two of them were as close as brothers from the moment they met. So, I chose to think that this was him missing his little brother, calling Roy home to the evergreen pastures, where they'll run free together forever.
Thank you both for the adventures, the memories, and all the love you gave to our family. We will always miss you ♥️

You know what the saddest part of my job is?...........
Sometimes I get pokemon from the RPC that can't.....function or are really old.
I have to carry them to a certified vet to put the poor pokemon down.
I usually opt to stay with them so they won't be scared when they go....
I don't know how much more of it I can take
I don't know if I can get help.

life update for you all
...so turns out in my attempts to get Nymbus to like me and adopt her, i have also accidentally endeared myself to the staff at that shelter
that very same shelter also has a very very aggressive beartic who was almost certainly an abandonment after the team fauna incident
they want me to "work my magic" on him
....not only that, but apparently he has ah. brutalized many of the staff members. so much so that they have to sedate him during feeding times to get in and out without injury.
according to them im his last chance. before ah. well. they cant keep him, and he cant be wild released due to his trauma, and nobody wants to adopt the beartic that is putting people in the hospital so.
....its up to me it seems.

twinkle uses his time on the field killing his brothers.
not the ones still fighting, but the ones lying on the ground.
those who have suffered fatal wounds and will never make it to the medbay, or those who’d rather die on the battlefield than be decommissioned by the kaminoans due to a disability. so all twinkle can do is either watch them die a slow painful death and hold their hand, hope that they’ll forgive him and they go to a brighter place: or he can make it quicker.
the first one he had to kill was a trooper named scout. scout was nearly folded three times after flying across the air and hitting a tree. twinkle didn’t know him, which did make the job easier, but he did ask for his name. and after his passing he learned that he didn’t want to know anyone else’s name.
he couldn’t even honor scout, or tell his batchmates he had died, so what else than a burden on his shoulders would knowing their names be? sometimes he wonders. it keeps him up at night. he doesn’t want to ask lucid, though she always offers. but he doesn’t want to know. it’s easier to keep them nameless, so maybe one day they have faded from his memory forever.
it’s quick and simple, a painless death at the hands of a brother. comforting to most, twinkle at least hopes so. sometimes he tells them lies when they ask for the truth, because the truth they’re asking for is impossible for twinkle to tell. so he lies, and says that yes, they’ll be back on their feet in no time. they’ll be okay. this medicine will ease the pain and they’ll see their brothers soon.
he is never asked to specify which brothers.
twinkle has killed more brothers than droids at the end of the war. he hates it, but he believes that he is doing the right thing. he is the medic, and he has to offer the best medical care. and when nothing is to be done, twinkle still tries to do his best to give them a good ending. he hates pain and suffering, so he likes to think he is being merciful.
but still, feeling your brother’s hand go cold, their body go limp, eyes dim and breathing stop, while still holding the syringe tries to speak otherwise.
