If people wanna die, they'll die.

Our choice is whether it's humane, or super cruel and messy. It's a binary choice; you pick.

The key issue is this. While we should allow death with dignity, we should also support life with dignity. We are failing badly in that category for far too many people.

Unfortunately, as soon as offing yourself becomes an easily accessible option, we are less motivated to help people. We've already had too many scandals of people looking for help being asked if they've considered medically assisted suicide.

I am 100% in support of the personal choice to end your life. I don't want it to become a government offered solution to solvable problems.

Wait for the Jesus freaks with a saviour complex to tell you how they can save literally everybody

There's nothing so evil as someone thinking they're doing good as per some arbitrary belief structure.
