Do you think severely depressed and/or suicidal people should be allowed to kill themselves?

As in, allowed to be given the means to end their life. Same as putting down a sick dog, isn’t it? What’s really the benefit of keeping them alive?

I don’t think I have a good answer to that honestly. You would think people that are determined to be sane and competent should be allowed to do this. But then again it just looks like society has failed its people by even allowing this as an option. I don’t really know.

@TheunderdogofNY but society can’t fix them. Better to let them pass on if they can’t live life without such suffering?

It’s not about fixing but rather providing alternatives to consider. Allowing someone to end their own life should be an absolute last resort in my opinion. So if alternatives can be provided then yes let’s do so but if not then we’ll it’s your life in the end right?@ShaythePanTransMan
