none of that should even matter. remove morals from the equation. remove religious conditioning. we are all just animals. total freedom and agency would suggest that you should have just as much control over whether you live or die as anything else in your life.

no justification required. you want out? ok, cya bud.

I for one am glad that it's not easy to commit suicide, because my sister tried and failed and after 10 years is finaly better. She has scares on the hands that she's hiding with tattoos. Mental problems can be resolved. Not all of them and not easy but it can work out.

If that's really true, then perhaps. But those people would probably argue that these two conditions are mutually exclusive. Again, can't say I totally disagree.

If only there was another way... We can't fix it now, but if we could put that person in suspended animation or some other kind of stasis, we might revive them once treatment was available...

This all is really sad and I don't wish anyone to suffer. But I also don't want people to die because they thought their situation is hopeless and it might turn out it isn't...

Everybody, just like animals, is able to simply starve. The rest is just an ill mind speaking out of despair.
