[Music]
look my name i'm still half the
man i used to be without a stick i'll just fall
around sometimes
i'm safe peeing or listening
at the counter and sometimes i can
barely talk
watch me or my partners
slow down i have to disabled and if I'm
really unlucky then finally lost
confused lost dementia
my father-in-law was 91 when he
mistook his wife for sneaking in and
attacked her my kitchen knife
shortly after left him behind a
nursing home never let go of that image
that lost man behind the glass
door are
distraught about his silent reproach
are unimaginable loneliness with
pain from my parson i have learned to live
and shame wear off
how will it be later
how will it be if it no longer knows
that i live
then rather die
and you know that die I have to
do that
I live in the Netherlands and nowhere is
euthanasia arranged as well as
here we have a neat law here the
euthanasia law
nine out of ten Dutch people are
okay according to the law if you suffer unbearably and without
hope then you may
die in action if
you have terminal lung cancer
merciful ladder doctor you die
because you don't have to choke on your own blood
windith end up like a zombie in a
lazy one if you do that in an advance directive
you are allowed to and if you give an
injection even if by then you are
chasing your own shadow quite a bit
we as the dutch are
proud of that right to self-determination
with just like being proud of our
liberal drug policy
it is part of our folklore
with the windmills and the ramparts but that
right were so proud of
that euthanasia does not exist it is
not half as liberal as everyone thinks
and if tom the people goes the law is a
dead letter
a doctor can help you but there is
nothing
euthanasia is no right
left the patient has the last word
this the family not you love but the doctor
and no one else
the paradox is crushing all
your life you are do scared of chasing
your underwear after the nurses
chasing shadows
behind yourself and you never think so
but if you are so confused as you
never wanted to be
you can no longer ask for death and
then nothing happens cause doctors
make simply don't kill people
you can no longer
ask about it yourself no longer understand what happens
every year in the Netherlands
10,000 people die with dementia,
roughly half of them had decided
that they did not want to die that way that they want a
dignified death
and how many people 100 on
average 100 people manage to escape that
fate but only because they already ask for euthanasia in the
first stage of
dementia imagine that before
there is nothing boring to see you are not doing anything
crazy
and it may take years before you have
to go to a nursing home
and yet you decide to die now
the must that is necessary for that
but what else do you have to do he is not a choice
who does not die later must die too early
because in time is too difficult
I think that eats
away at what happened to the others with the
thousands of people who do not immediately
request euthanasia who only want to die
if they can no longer live at home
how many received there was actually
death asked
14 exactly 14 and not per year
but since the law came into effect in
2002 fourteen people got a good
death in their time
look my name still half the man i
was
stealthy i'll be in the past in five
or ten years i'll be in a wheelchair
but that stupid lead i want to hand it
over and if someone has to wash me later
or
can still read sound nor think still
start writing
I want to be unusually lazy
I don't need to die with dignity
decorum doesn't affect me that was already God's fault
when we used the first time on the
balcony of the last bommel to house
i'm not afraid of death
my death is nothing
my death has a line meaning for those
left behind
my death is not only mine
everyone thinks i still have to be
able to decide for myself sen about his life to
end when I myself can no longer
say that I want to die and no action
what to do
moon another to do that
how others may do that what what
that means
if she sees that I am in pain or afraid
then does my love pilnar and buck
i found one now everyone thinks i've
gone mad him a pill and your dad do
n't ask that toddler of anyone
no
what can you ask of anyone you can ask
of anyone
hunger it on or no doctor wants to
do it anymore and my dear cannot do it
you have to do it together
you your love that doctor and that is less
crazy it seems already your neighbor can
with your power of attorney stop medical
treatment if you are confused
and lost
get pneumonia no doctor on
those antibiotics let's not start
more then you will just die of
only a little later an only a bit
silly therefore allow the law that you
can delegate the same ship is right
so that you lie do not have to stir the pill in your porridge
but hey can choose the moment
via daughter why go now
the law must arrange that that neighbor
can ask for euthanasia at your request
as if you ask for it yourself
so that they say later look at him took he
now strives too late a myth asked he
went on time
thanks you
[Applause]
