Should suicide be normalized?

Everything is the same in the world, except you have the little option, if you like, to walk to a clinic and ask for a pill. A suicide pill. I think the world would be a better place if it was normalized, and one could easily go to a clinic and have a procedure completed to cease their life functions gently and painlessly, and if it weren't demonized or criminalized and anyone could opt out of life at any point.

it exists on a limited basis now. old people and people with terminal illnesses.

dosages of drugs increased until death is hastened.

you're right it should be easier.

Yeah, I'm talking about convenience. Like I should be able to look forward to the ease of the option ahead of time as a backup plan. Because hospitals don't have any other option than to drug you until you stop complaining if you are in pain. If you are going to die you end up in an odd situation where you're stuck in a hospital or bedridden from the pain until you die, and they can't euthanize you, they have to keep you alive. Could be for weeks or even months. Not worth it if you are going to die.
