Don't you think this could quickly devolve into legitimising suicide as something normal and valid, as opposed to something that should be avoided, through proper care, support and help?
- illiac786 2y agoNo. Death is already something that is mostly undesirable, I don’t think making “death by suicide” more undesirable than other types of deaths helps in any way. If someone is sick, he will tend to get treatment for his sickness, be it mental or not. If someone refuses to treat himself (and this happens a lot for non-mental sickness), there is anyway little one can do. Finally, I think looking at where the world is hurling toward and why, I feel it should be accepted by all that some individuals want to commit suicide as an altruistic gesture.
- tim333 2y agoI think maybe a way of dealing with that would be to require the person to chat to a qualified therapist about it for a couple of one hour sessions before hand. That way the people who were temporarily depressed could be helped out and the ones with something like terminal cancer could go ahead.
