How can we try to save an election that promises to be calamitous? It's simple. You just have to show people something they've been waiting for for a long time. And when there is nothing left to offer to improve people's daily lives, there remains one last hope: death.
Macron wants to help us die by all means. Messenger RNA injections are not enough. A good war with Russia could significantly reduce the population. Yes, but there are still the very old, seriously ill people, severely disabled people, others requiring psychiatry. Without being able to send them to war, Macron can help them die. The law on euthanasia is ready but we must no longer say euthanasia: it has become a dirty word. Even the good doctor Kouchner didn't like this word because in euthanasia, we hear "Nazi." » We no longer even say “assisted suicide” because until this law, medicine saved people from suicide when possible. From now on we will help them and in Macron's Newspeak, it is called "fraternity". His “brothers” from the ADMD will appreciate…
A new option for psychiatry? The bill remains unclear. It excludes the possibility of euthanasia for cases of dementia or Alzheimer's disease or when the person making the request cannot give an informed opinion. Others will no doubt do it in his place. That’s what tutors are for.
However, assistance in dying concerns psychological suffering, particularly when it is refractory and therefore cannot be cured despite medical treatment. Euthanasia could therefore compensate for the inability of psychiatry to treat distress with medication. I think back to Shanti de Corte, victim of the attack at Brussels airport in 2016. She was not injured but suffered from post-traumatic syndrome. She was euthanized at her request in 2022 at the age of 23. She was taking up to eleven medications a day and could no longer bear to live like this. » She said: " With all the medicines I take, I feel like a ghost who no longer feels anything. Perhaps there was another solution other than medication.
The terrorists had failed to kill her. Psychiatry has done it twice rather than once. The first time by wiping it out with increasingly massive doses of medication. The second time by signing her death warrant by agreeing to “kill” her.
We will also euthanize people suffering from a romantic breakdown, the loss of a loved one, or those who are drowning in debt when their business is bankrupt or those who sleep on the street. social status, poverty, grief and despair are mental pathologies relevant to psychiatry? No ? There are times when medications support depressed people but they cannot by themselves help them rebuild because prescribed in too high doses the cure is worse than the disease.
Psychoanalysis, well-conducted psychotherapy, support groups, can help to get through the experience of suffering, overcome trauma and emerge spiritually stronger.
Assisted suicide is the worst option. It enshrines the abandonment of all therapeutic support for the people who need it most and legalizes their murder. You don't kill a person consumed by loneliness and grief.
Would it be possible that people start voting for rebirth in the European elections only because Macron promises them that the State will help them die faster? After having applauded, sung and danced on the constitutionalization of abortion [as if an abortion was not always a failure] more than a victory, nothing should surprise us.
In 2012, I went to a campaign meeting for candidate Hollande in the Cenon park near Bordeaux: Rotten weather, wading in the slush, Nothing interesting in Hollande's project; the militant crowd showed relative enthusiasm, perhaps because of the weather. Then he announced his intention to legalize euthanasia, a proposal which was greeted with howls of joy. As if it were the flagship measure in his project. Disgusted, my husband and I left.
At that time, our son was hospitalized following a suicide attempt. In her care unit, a patient shouted to the nurses: “ Kill me, I no longer want to live .” » The caregivers comforted her. The following days, she felt better.
Help for moral distress will soon no longer exist. Death is Macron’s project. We suspected it a little since he wanted to shed “the blood of the sons and daughters of France” in Ukraine.
But if there are people whom the project of poisoning by injection or by drink pushes to vote for rebirth, it is because the death drive is well established in them. It is true that before rebirth, one must first die. But the rebirth with Macron is hell guaranteed because as he has already said: “The beast of the event is here”.

{...assisted suicide is the worst option...}
In a highly efficient, capitalist economy, when it comes to a mass-phenomenon concerning the plebes, it is the CHEAPEST option that has to be and will always be chosen.
I am trying to think of words that do justice to what you so eloquently point out. But I cannot. Your writing is so much more powerful than anything I could add to it. It is almost as if you are tracking the decline of Western civilization by focusing on this one aspect.
