I support assisted suicide for people who are not capable of doing it without assistance (because dying moments of many people are really not pretty, as many stories in this thread attest to), but I think that the cases of medical and legal industries killing physically healthy young people due to mental issues are sick and wrong.
Physically healthy and young people do not need assistance in committing suicide if they actually want to do it. When they request it, what they are actually asking for is for “experts” and “professionals” to make the decision for them. They want the system to give them a stamp of approval, so that they don’t have to take responsibility.
