Not at all, considering end of life and to choose euthanasia, or not, I think it's perfectly human. Controversially, I think it's a natural right to decide how you will exit this world. But having an objective system that you don't have to pay like a therapist to try to get some understanding is at least better than nothing.
- ggm 1y agoI think VAD needs to be considered outside suicide. Not that the concepts don't overlap, but one is about a considered legal process, the other (as I have said in another comment) is often an impulsive act and usually wouldn't have been countenanced under VAD. Feeling suicidal isn't a thing which makes VAD more likely, because feeling suicidal doesn't mean the same thing as "want to consider euthanasia" much as manslaughter and murder don't mean the same thing, even though somebody winds up dead.
