The right to bodily autonomy is the most fundamental right for people living and dying today.

Too many people are suffering unnecessarily, and lack a certain and painless opportunity to end our suffering and exploitation, and the subsequent burden onto others.

For many people, the fear of a failed attempt, including not only the further injury, also the potential that we would then be incarcerated and forcibly “medicated” against our will, is all that animates us each day. Such is part of what it means for suicide to be illegal.

These people, myself included, continue to live suffering lives, negatively affect others, and waste resources that could be used elsewhere - on, and with, people who want to take part in the human experience.

I am 40 - and I have been attempting suicide since the age of 7. I suffer mental anguish every day, and after a life of failed suicide attempts, having broken seven ribs and fractured my neck, I  also experience constant physical pain.

I do everything I can to add nothing to this society and world. 

Having had several good, and also even pleasant times in my life as well, I can assuredly say that I don’t even want a good life by my own standards.

Some of the worst pain has come from the toxic positivity of the industry that masquerades as mental healthcare. Our current culture treats myself, and others like me, as not even worth listening to, the claim being that no one healthy could think like I do - when the truth is the exact opposite.

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” - Jiddu Krishnamurti

The fact that so much suffering exists and has existed, is enough to make me wish to protest life itself.

Every living human needs a way out if they choose it - not contingent upon anything other than their own conviction and choice. No one should be allowed to gate-keep and discriminate who is allowed a peaceful dignified death.

Lastly, if the proletariat has a painless dignified alternative to the exploitation of labor, the ruling class would be forced to either lose their workforce, or provide a quality of life worth living for us all.

This is about autonomy and forced labor/exploitation, and if it all sounds like "mental illness" - than consider Drapetomania

(From Google:)

Samuel Adolphus Cartwright invented “Drapetomania” to describe the "psychological disorder" that caused a phenomenon of enslaved Blacks to run away from bondage before the Civil War. He spent enormous energy to research, diagnose, and suggest corrective treatments to mitigate the deviant tendency of Blacks to escape.

When I was young my parents (CEO David Alexander Reis, and Donna Marie Russo) hurt me in a way I’m done describing - if you have an interest, you can call the Woodbridge, CT police: 203-387-2512 and ask about incident report 24-6231 that I filed against them.

The first place I felt at home, at peace, was in the arms of gym coach Jami Erlich, when I was in 7th grade. She cared for me, laughed with me and coddled me, we listened to music and drank coffee while the other students went to pray or sit in class. I’d sneak off to wherever I could, to study her favorite movies, so I could act them out with her and make her laugh. Looking forward to our time the next day - was what got me through the one I was having.

Jami taught me sex-ed, which was forbidden by our religious school (The Solomon Schecter School of Westchester - now The Leffell School). 

Jami was fired, at the insistence of my parents, for teaching me pleasure - and the next year on a class trip to Israel, I was handed an uzi by the military, so they could teach me war.

I thank you for your consideration to end my suffering.
