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 [i]really[/i] the benefit of keeping them alive?

I think there are a lot of examples of people who formerly felt suicidal but are now much happier and glad that they didn't take their life. For that reason, I think that it's better to encourage treatment and mental healthcare for suicidal people, not facilitate their own suicide.
There will always be people who are seriously determined to end their own life, and maybe in some cases of severe anguish and chronic depression, that even makes sense... But I think the vast majority of cases of suicide is the "permanent solution to a temporary problem" type and we should not encourage that.
