So? Sorry to be so callus, but I'd wager there are many more people suffering daily in hospice and family members risking jail time to end the suffering of their relatives. I have second hand experience with this. The doctor told a relative of mine "whatever you do, don't turn this knob here, or they will die a painless silent death" and walked out of the room.
- oleander73 6y agoThank you for making this point. I've never been brave enough to make this point, but often thought about it. Even in psychiatric cases, I think it is not unreasonable to assume that having a more accepting approach to ending your life will not result in significantly more deaths and a lot less suffering.
