    Suicide shouldn’t be illegal. If you’ve tried treatments and seen a therapist for years but just want out - you should be able to schedule a day to be put to sleep.

    I think its immoral not to give people a dignified way out.

      As someone who is at the very least passively suicidal, I couldn’t agree more. Fuck all this shit let me go.

      I think it shouldn’t be illegal even if you didn’t exhausted all other options. It’s my life, and if I want to end it I should be allowed to do so.

      I can agree with it for elderly people and/or people with a sever chronic condition who have little to keep suffering for. But for younger people with “fixable” problem I would hope we first male sure they get all the support they could need and want before euthanasia becomes an option. I know we aren’t anywhere close pretty much anywhere in the world, but in the interim until we get there? I don’t know, be angry at politicians and voters until they stop gutting public health care maybe.

        Okay, yes, let’s make sure that help is available if they want it. But what if they don’t? Should a suicidal person be forced to accept help that they don’t want?

        Moreover, if you forbid people from ending their own life at their own discretion, who really has ownership over their body?

      I agree with you, but I go even further. I think suicide should be legal, in all cases. There should be suicide booths that provide a humane, painless dead, for free use by whoever wants to kill oneself. And I am of the opinion that this would improve society. If the “slaves” of today’s society had an easy way out, perhaps the CEOs and the billionaires would have to start paying living wages and wouldn’t be able to take advantage of people and ruin the environment/society.

      And another interesting scenario would be: You kill a CEO, run to a suicide booth, kill yourself.

      This, of course, will never happen because the people at the top would never let it happen. And the fact that the people at the top are against it, is enough proof, imo, that this would be a net gain for society/humanity. Something that endangers the top is good. Fuck them.

        Never thought of it that way. Honestly I could be convinced of that.

        But I could also be convinced that at minimum it should be 3 years after the human brain has had an opportunity to fully mature.

          I think suicide should be legal for all ages. If one didn’t ask to be born, why should one have to wait many many years to exit?

          And while I am of the opinion that suicide should be legal and freely provided, mental health (and all other forms of health) should also be provided freely.
