It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

An American goes to Switzerland then gets into a 3d printed death pod that is in a "legal grey area" specfically because it isn't a medical device and then dies in that pod and your surprised that such a situation could lead to backlash?
If you knew anything about assisted suicide, you'd know that it has always been a "legal grey area" in Switzerland. Medication is much more regulated in Europe than in America to the point where you can't buy Cough syrup without multi-doctoral approval.
Assisted suicide is legal by non-enforcement in Switzerland if you can consent and commence the suicide by yourself. In the traditional case this has been via Barbiturate self-intake. In theory, giving someone barbiturates for the purpose of facilitating suicide may be a crime, but it has never been enforced. By criminalizing NOx-assisted suicide, your are effectively criminalizing any chemical assisted suicide.
