I am a bone cancer patient who has been diagnosed as level 3 of bone cancer and had been told by the doctors that it will be hard to cure my illness as i have crossed that stage in bone cancer , They have told me that i can live only through medicines for the rest o my life

I have accepted that as a fact ,but even the medicines are not helpful in controlling my pain and it has become a very hard to lead a life to carry my day to -day activities , and Then i searched the net and asked the lawyers in my country (India) whether euthanasia is allowed here . They told it has not been legalized yet

I am also low on resources to look after me , as we don’t have government supported medical insurance here and have been thinking of self destruction for some time now

I know its very hard to secure helium here and need to ask you whether a plastic bag is alone can be used in future to take one’s own life as i have decided to end it peacefully with the help of plastic bag alone is it possible or not
