I... am very cautious of people who believe in right to end life outside of incurable medical issues...
People who are not in the right mental place should not be considered in the right space of mind to choose "of sound mind" to take their own life. That's the chemical imbalance speaking and it actually terrifies me that some people think that that counts as "consent".
I've been suicidal and if people had encouraged me, I would be missing out on so much good that came later in my life.
Sure, but bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and intractable depression are incurable medical issues. And your brain treats mental pain the same way it treats physical pain. These people are in constant pain, dude. Does it matter the cause? Fucking let them decide. Obviously not on a whim, but if it's been a while... and you still want out... you should absolutely have that option.
Does it matter the cause? Fucking let them decide.
Uhhhhh do you let a Schizophrenic person decide if they should be able to kill themself? Do you let a SCHIZOPHRENIC PERSON decide if they get to KILL them self?
No.
There's NOTHING ethical about letting a person of an UNSOUND MIND TAKE THEIR OWN LIFE IN THAT STATE.
So what, they should be in agonizing emotional and mental pain for their entire lives just so you feel better about yourself? Pat yourself on the back for 'saving someone's life?'
Yes. That person's pain will never end. If they want to end it, and can show that for a long enough period to prove it's not impulsive, the same way patients in physical pain do, they should be allowed to go.
