This was a fascinating read and really got me thinking about the morality of suicide all things considered. We’ve collectively decided as a society that suicide is a bad thing, and rarely is mental health treated the same as physical in the realm of euthanasia.

My general experience received from doctors in my adult life has been, in summary, "Go take some Ibuprofen and stop bothering me".

And because of some other, more complex cases close to me, I will NEVER trust a doctor's "Nothing else can be done". Too many times it has been proven wrong.

So I can't understand someone killing themselves based on any doctor's criteria.
