51 Hours Left to Live

I saw this thread on Facepunch and found it interesting, so now I'm sharing it. A man is going to commit suicide in 51 hours, well actually about 34 hours now, and he's online answering questions about his life, his disease, assisted suicide, and various other things, before he pulls the plug on himself.

The man, known as 'Lucidending' on Reddit is suffering from an incurable form of cancer and is in a lot of pain, and so he wants to just end his suffering now with dignity. He lives in Oregon, where it is legal to kill yourself under certain circumstances, and his doctor is setting things up so all he has to do is push a button and he'll be injected with drugs that will kill him.

    I am not sure about this thread, but anyways this really boils down to "olol internetz fakez" and/or "media outragez tomorrow"

    What conversation do you want us to have here? What would we do with 51 hours? Is it acceptable to create a stunt like this? You give us some background info but theres no talking points.

    Yeah, this is almost like a "link, discuss" thread with no real content.

    OP needs discussion points.
