The Death of Flibusta's Founder and Euthanasia Questions

<p>The death of the founder of Flibusta (a well-known piracy project) through euthanasia raises many questions about assisted suicide: ethical aspects, technical nuances, and the limits of what is acceptable.</p>
<p>Interestingly, people have been contemplating euthanasia since the times of Ancient Greece. Today, many countries have legalized this practice in one form or another, but always with a number of strict limitations.</p>
<p>Wherever euthanasia is permitted, the key elements remain the transparency of the process and the explicit consent of the patient.</p>
<p>Thinking about this on a personal level, for me, the decision to "press the button" seems extremely frightening. However, the idea of "probabilistic euthanasia" is perceived as a softer option. The essence is that a person receives a dose of sleeping pills every evening, and although death is guaranteed to occur within the next X months, the exact day is unknown. Before each dose, the patient confirms their readiness. Surprisingly, there is no such approach in any country.</p>
<p>What do you think about this idea? Do you believe that such an approach could be psychologically easier?</p>
