We always talk about the right to live. Today we ask what it means to have the right to die. This episode traces the story from ancient philosophy and church doctrine to modern laws, psychiatric eligibility, and the way social media shapes the narrative. My goal is not to glamorise or condemn but to understand the line between compassion and harm, and how we decide who gets help, who gets protection, and who gets to choose.

what’s inside
• ancient greece, stoicism, and honour vs duty
• christian theology, natural law, and the idea of “double effect”
• 19th-century medicine, pain relief, and quiet shifts in practice
• modern legal frameworks in the netherlands, belgium, and canada
• psychiatric-only requests, capacity, treatment resistance, and risk
• social media stories, audience impact, and duty of care
• my position after researching and making this episode

This episode discusses death, suicide, euthanasia, assisted dying, and mental illness. Please take care while listening. If you are struggling, speak to someone you trust or contact local support services.

The first twenty minutes are more visually edited than the rest. I kept the second half simpler so the episode could be released in a timely way. If you like the heavier style, tell me in the comments.

This is a nuanced topic and I may have missed perspectives. If there is something I mis-spoke on or did not consider, please leave a comment with a timestamp and a source link. I will review and pin helpful additions.

Hi friends!

Welcome back to another episode of Cripple Chronicles!
Last episode i actually wanted to talk about the fact my 3rd ampuversary was coming up.. i planned to record this on the day of the ampuversary however disability popped up as it does at the most oppotune times and i had to rest until i was able to record - and also edit the episode to bring it all together.

While i try and bring together all of the strings about euthanasia for the video essay i am wanting to get out, the next episode will be a compliation of sorts kind of a crash course of episodes where i talk about how i ended up with one leg and trying some new editing while i do that. so if you would like to see that please subscribe and hit that bell because i try to upload every two weeks but sometimes not on the same day because disabled, sigh.

What are some anniversaries you like to reflect on? id love to know in the comments or alternatively -
