It was announced today that British eventer Caroline March has died at the age of 31 in 'assisted suicide', two years after suffering a career-ending spinal cord injury.
The farewell letter she wrote was shared on her Facebook page - moving, thought-provoking, and insightful words. It's been on my mind all day, and I think it's definitely worth a read to understand her choice from her perspective.

It just sits so wrong with me that Eddy for some fucked up reason thinks that Ruby would be okay with Jaune killing Penny because it was “her choice” and that is just so gross and further seems to glorify suicide. Eddy seems to think Ruby shouldn’t be mad at Jaune despite this most definitely being something by any normal person would or should react to. I just cannot understand the logic behind these tweets it makes no sense.

(Tw: suicide) I'm the original Pike confessor and I think people are misunderstanding what I'm saying. I've taken a bioethics class before and I've sat on the side of those for assisted suicide. I've been in the shoes of both the disabled person, the person who had to make a really hard decision on behalf of another and the person who had to watch while someone ignored every wish a person had in the last few weeks of dementia (if you know how they finally died, you know).
When I say update, I mean that in the 60s those writers sat down and thought what's the worst piece of medical equipment someone could ever be hooked up to. I know! The Iron Lung! And then they made it Future. There's only one person on Earth still hooked up to one of those because we don't need them anymore. We've moved beyond them. So if the tech they based the chair off of is obsolete, then yes, I do fully think they should update the chair. That chair has to be reading his brainwaves somehow because he's making no movement for it to read. Computer programs now can translate a code to a word, so the idea that it's somehow reading yes and no in his thoughts and blinking a light is ridiculous. If your brain is able to understand questions being asked and can communicate yes and no, then he should be able to at least communicate other simple one word statements like "food" or "thirsty". They don't let him.
If your reasoning for this treatment is sci-fi BS like unraveling DNA then you can Sci-fi BS a better explanation. As someone who has worked with DNA let me tell you, unraveling it isn't that big a deal. I've unraveled, reraveled, inserted, deleted, and moved DNA sequences around and the bacteria lived to tell the tales. It's much more resilient than people understand. I'm not saying by the 23rd century we can do this to an already living human but if we're already suspending our belief that unraveling their DNA won't kill them instantly we can suspend our disbelief about other things. They just won't because they have to get rid of him somehow.
And that's what it really comes down to: they have to get rid of him. I really don't mean to be rude about this, but let's maybe stop making up reasons Pike's depiction isn't bad or defending the depiction based off our reframings of his experience, through our lens as disbaled people, rather than the show's actual framing. Maybe you relate to feeling like disability was equal to death and it took a long time to see it otherwise, if you ever did. I'm not going to lie and say I haven't, but the writers of Star Trek are not writing from the perspective of someone who gets it. They are writing it from the perspective of able-bodied people who think disabled people are a thing to be pitied and hidden and you can tell both in the 60s and now from the way they framed everything around it.
Pike thinks becoming disabled is equal to death because his able-bodied writers think they'd rather be dead than disabled not because grief and mourning who you were is a genuine feeling every disabled person goes through at some point. Pike accepts his disability not because he's learned to deal with and work around it but because if he's not disabled then Spock dies and rather he be "dead" than Spock be dead.
I'm not saying you can't relate to Pike by reframing his behavior (and you do have to reframe it because its not the intention of the writters for you to relate to Pike but rather for you to be afraid of becoming like him) but I'm saying they put him in a cage out of sight and there's only one way to take that.
Pike was not written for us. We can reclaim him and his story all we want, but he wasn't and isn't written for us. I'm going to hold the writers accountable for that fact.
Posting this as a response to a previous confession.

being chronically ill is being able to stay stonefaced while a doctor explains that the only thing they can do for you is offer you MAID (medical assistance in dying)
this has happened ~three times~ since we introduced the stupid policy.
i want you to find a way to help me that doesn’t involve a surgery w/ a 1-2 year recovery time. not help me kill myself.
but no; denying a major 16 hour operation means I must wanna jus die loooooool
I hate it here!!

My ship is very popular and not all that toxic (pure enough for hardcore antis to ship it), but I actively dial the toxicity of it to 100 most of the time- genuinely enjoying hunching over a computer and writing a poor, shy teen boy desperately clutch at a manipulative liar who pretends to be like the girl he loved so much.
I take pleasure in watching the skilled liar play him like checkers, grinning as I allow the lying boy to take full control over the poor, traumatized detective, just trying to find someone similar to the now deceased pianist he so desperately wanted to keep safe.
But not even the relationship with the lying fox lasts, leaving him again screaming and crying as the two other living people drag him from the scene of the assisted suicide. Only for him to push them away, nearly committing suicide himself on multiple occasions until they find a way out.
Wait though- The group of three steps out of their cage. They wake up in a hospital. And everyone they thought was dead had crowded around them. I force the detective tofail in reconnecting with his beloved pianist, allowing the wretched liar to play with him for the rest of his meager life. Does this make me bad?
No.
Literally?? I love corrupting "wholesome" ships and fantis can stay mad about it. You are valid, OP ❤

I've seen a fair amount of aus where Philip dies instead of Caleb but what if instead of Caleb stabbing Philip in self defense, Philip, realizing he was losing the fight and not wanting to watch his brother's descent into Hell, despairing over how he couldn't "save" Caleb, ends his own life. And, hey, maybe when he gets to Heaven he can directly plead with God to save his brother's soul. Bonus points if he throws himself onto the knife while Caleb is holding it.

I was watching a movie and it got me thinking. Why if you have an incurable, terminal illness that leaves you suffering for the rest of your life, why can't you end your life on your own terms? If you're going to suffer horrifically for years, why is assisted suicide (not a great name btw) not ok? If the patient is consenting is what is proven to be a healthy state of mind why can't they? Ive watched my closest family die like that, and no one could end their suffering. My grandma sat, unable to do anything for herself, for 7 years. 7 years! You can't tell me that's wrong, especially because you could tell she was in pain. I'm at risk for the same illnesses now, and there is still no cure. I don't know, it just irks me how things are handled in the medical field with terminal illness and hospice especially.

This might be controversial to some, but you cannot "tough love" your way to preventing suicide. You cannot have the attitude that people who complete suicide are selfish or are ungrateful or immature. If your mindset about suicide isn't coming from compassion rather than judgment, it won't help suicidal people. You will never help us with a slap on the wrist and a lecture about how we're awful for even thinking about completing suicide.
Suicide intervention starts with compassion and care.

Anyway since it's disability pride month I'd like to remind everyone that Canada's MAID program is hostile and insurance companies will and have rejected treatment options to chronically ill Canadians and with the same hand let those same patients be medically killed because it's considered cost effective.
Cost effective has no place in healthcare and is quite literally eugenics wrapped up in prettily packaged words
