The person I was replying to linked a story about someone jumping from a bridge.
Yes there is nuance in assisted suicide for psychiatric cases, but the statement "Survivors usually regret it" does not apply here.
- vorpalhex 4y ago> the statement "Survivors usually regret it" does not apply here. You're not wrong but you may be right for the wrong reasons.
- switchbak 4y agoI agree this isn't directly equivalent to someone jumping from a bridge. You also said "The guidelines around assisted suicide are extremely strict", and the specifics of this case are contentious enough that we're having some serious discussion around it. I think continued debate here is healthy in a compassionate society that wants assisted suicide policies that are appropriate and not overly applied. I can't say if that's the case here (I just don't know enough), but this comes very close to ringing some alarm bells.
