    I can see where you’re potentially coming from.

    But I don’t think you comprehend how violent an act of suicide is in almost all cases.

    It takes an insane level of commitment to go through with that the first time, more so for the subsequent attempts.

    Also of the people who really aim to end it, succeed on the first try.

    I don’t know about you, but if given the choice, I probably wouldn’t be here. There’s nothing particularly wrong with me physically, I just don’t want to be here.

    Been the case over a decade ago. Pretty much back as long as I can remember. Still the case today.

    I do agree with the point that a humane way out will probably have a net positive impact in almost all cases. Especially if it comes with “here’s a list of things you should consider doing to lessen the impact on your family and significant other” or something of the sort. Needless to say, but should be entirely optional.

    I don’t think I agree with the “other treatments” mentality though. That just sounds like what the Americans are doing with their abortion clinics trying to emotionally blackmail people into not aborting their child by forcing you to listen to heartbeats and look at ultrasounds.
