We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
It should be my choice when and how I wish to end my life and exercise my bodily autonomy. I don’t wish to live like a vegetable just because some Bishop or Sadhu or Maulana says so. Or because some commie thinks that assisted dying somehow validates the Marxist view that one must be economically productive to live in a capitalist society. Rather, true capitalism means financial liberty and I should have the liberty to spend on assisted suicide rather than on a lifetime of having painful tubes inserted in my body, or spoonfed on a wheelchair with no cognition (in the case of Alzheimer’s).
Gawd this country needs libertarianism on steroids and we need to start with the education system!
We need this in India.
