In a blog post on June 4 2018 entitled ‘View of life and death and euthanasia’, Hayashi notices that the use of respirators in Europe and America is low, although praises that ventilators are at least available in Japan as it seems to signify that at since it is an option that it “means that such an environment is in place.”
On May 27 2018, Hayashi wrote a blog post entitled ‘Life saved by Euthanasia’: Hayashi seems to suggest that a person who is considering ending their life because of a condition like ALS, might have better mental health if they don’t “have to hurry and commit suicide.”
Mitsunobu Yoshimoto had a disability certificate for an eye disease, and Yoshimoto’s white cane has been found on the scene. There is no barrier on the platform at the station to prevent someone from falling, and the camera that was installed showed that Yoshimoto stepped off and fell onto the track. The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the cause of Mr. Yoshimoto’s fall.
“I wanted to forget everything for a while (though I couldn’t do that), so I kept myself in my shell. I can’t do anything, but I just breathe by myself. Are you doing your best? This body is regrettable and dear. But don’t live with this body. I don’t think I’m alive.”
After announcing her intentions to commit suicide it seems that Hayashi felt she was losing friends. On May 9 2018 she published this, of which one possible translation of the blog post title would be ‘There is nothing to fear from the untouched god’:
Many people Sunday visited the scene of an attack on a care home for mentally disabled people in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo, four years ago to mourn the victims.
It has been revealed in interviews that one the suspects nvolved in assisting the suicide of a woman with intractable disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) may have illegally obtained a doctor’s license.
The deceased, a woman aged 51 named Yuri Hayashi, ran a blog and a Twitter account.
Following the arrest of two doctors on Thursday 23 July for allegedly murdering a woman, Yuri Hayashi, who had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, at the patient’s request, Yasuhiko Funago, a member of the political party ‘Reiwa Shinsengumi’ has voiced concerns about the alleged ‘mercy killing’ incident in Kyoto.
The woman paid about 1 million yen account by bank remittance before the incident. The police department is investigating the detailed background to the money transfer.
