Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne Confirm Their End-of-Life Pact Is 'Still a Plan'
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne
On the latest episode of The Osbournes podcast, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne confirmed they're standing by their end-of-life pact.
In a 2007 interview with UK publication The Mirror, Sharon revealed that after her father, Don Arden, passed away following an arduous battle with Alzheimer's, she and husband Ozzy agreed they'd die by euthanasia if either of them ended up with the same disease. The couple then brought up the same comments again in 2014, noting that they would terminate their lives if their health impacted them so severely that they couldn't live life normally.
Now, 9 years later, they're speaking again about their decision.
On the podcast, the family's chat about their many pets over the years shifted into a discussion about euthanasia. After Jack joked that he was "going to Germany to euthanize [himself]," his sister Kelly asked if a "legitimate excuse" is needed for people to end their lives.
Sharon and Jack explained that now, anyone can do it with proper approval. That's when Kelly brought up her parents' previous comments, recalling her shock over finding out about their plan through tabloid headlines.
Jack asked his parents, "Is that still a plan?" Sharon turned to her son and exclaimed, "Jack, do you think we're gonna suffer?" Kelly's jaw dropped as she processed her mother's words. Jack responded by asking, "Aren't we already all suffering?"
Sharon noted, "Yes, we are, but I don't want it to actually hurt as well. Mental suffering is enough pain without physical, so if you've got mental and physical, see ya!"
"But what if you could survive?" wondered Kelly. Sharon stood by her decision, saying, "Yeah, but what if you survive and you can't wipe your own ass, you're pissing everywhere, shitting everywhere, can't eat…"
Kelly responded by joking that it's not different than Sharon's current life, lightening the mood as the family ended the episode.
