DevonDeathTrip 2,290 Posted January 13, 2017 Lots of news stories (in French) about the comatose Vincent Lambert flying about at the moment. His wife and some other family members are all for allowing him to die, while his parents are adamantly against the idea and have filed a last ditch legal challenge to prevent the removal of his feeding tubes. Lambert is on my DDP team, so I'm following the case with interest, although the same can't be said for British media sources... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better ferret out that discussion now cuz I call bullshit, and I HAVE her on my team. I do not expect points for an unnatural death. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SC Hi Sir C, Rules really not your strong point but here is the DDP rule extract relating to unnatural death. Unnatural causes: +3 for murder, suicide or accident (but not State executions). So as far as the DDP goes suicide is specifically included in the category of Unnatural causes. Now in relation to Euthanasia (not specifically referred to) this is where the controversy lies and where Spade will have to make a call which he has so far remained silent on. I also have Marieke (but not as my joker) and my argument would be that natural causes have lead her to be helped to die in a country where euthanasia is legal so definitely not suicide or murder or an accident. However I can see a strong argument the other way too which I would think is why she is so many people's joker so I await to see a) if she does die this year 'b) if she dies by euthanasia c) what Spade's decision is when that happens.

They aren't antonyms. One could argue that all deaths are natural, ie the ultimate cause of death is always something natural. It is the circumstances that lead to it that may not be natural. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ground-breaker for dead pooling afficianados. Not terminally ill or seriously depressed in any traditional medical sense. Merely a rational bloke old enough to know what he was doing and well aware (personally and professionally) that his declining quality of life was on an unstoppable downward slope. Real insight into Dignitas business-minded approach, mind. Begs the question how far they'd go. I mean, if one of those on our useless daft bimbos thread rang up and said "I can't get a proper job, my hair's a mess and the kids won't shut up...!"
