You've got a disease and, over the years, the 'kill yourself' precentage has gone up to 96%. 96% of people with the disease nowadays choose the option.
You are getting your suicide done privately rather than by the NHS (you deserve the best you think). It's costing £20,000. Non-refundable. You want your whole family to be there .. hence people have travelled from all over for the send-off. Some people, who arn't rich, have even flown over from New Zealand. Everyone has made a massive effort. You even had arranged for you a surprise 'balloon trip', and a load of gifts foistered on you .. everyone has splashed out these last few days.
You were previously at home. Your bedroom has now been cleared out of all it's medical gear. Your bed gone. You're stuff packed away (you helped do it, when you could). Finally your 14 year old son has a room of his own, he's moved in, everything's sorted.
So everyone gathers on the day. You've also had the family gathering the night before. All the tears have been cried. The will has been clarified by an expensive solicitor. All the goodbyes have been said.
The 'doctor' hands you the poison. Everyone waits in silence.
You really think everyone placed in this position, all sufferers, would feel fine with saying 'Actually .. guess what folks .. I've changed my mind'
..
Because if not .. guess what folks .. you're effectively back to coercion. In short, you simply can't stop coercion ... even if no-one says a SINGLE WORD of persuasion .. :/
