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?

Yes. It will be better for society in ways people didn't even think about. For example I think many mass killers, serial killers, etc are suicidal too. If we allowed it those types of people wouldn't go on to do what they do.
That and other problems that I don't have time to get into.

@IHateMyLife0MeDie perhaps. They’re ready to leave the world, so...why not do a dark desire? Or get back at those who hurt you? You’re gonna die anyway. That kind of thing.

@ShaythePanTransMan yeah but I've seen all too often that many of them tried to take their own life even before they did any horrible crimes.
For example Roy Norris tried to kill himself even before he met Bittaker. Wasn't one of the Columbine high students suicidal also before they did what they did?
Sure there are those who kill themselves after they've done their horrible crimes. But if society can try this out and we see a decline in such crimes, well we'll just have to see.

"FBI's theory: Psychopath and depressive
The FBI concluded that the killers were victims of mental illness, that Harris was a clinical psychopath, and Klebold was depressive.[38] Dr. Dwayne Fuselier, the supervisor in charge of the Columbine investigation, would later remark: "I believe Eric went to the school to kill and didn't care if he died, while Dylan wanted to die and didn't care if others died as well."[151]
In April 1998 (a year before the shooting), Harris wrote a letter of apology to the owner of the van as part of his diversion program.[36] Around the same time, he derided him in his journal, stating that he believed himself to have the right to steal something if he wanted to.[152][153] By far the most prevalent theme in Klebold's journals is his private despair at his lack of success with women, which he refers to as an "infinite sadness."[154][155] Klebold had repeatedly documented his desires to kill himself, and his final remark in the Basement Tapes, shortly before the attack, is a resigned statement made as he glances away from the camera: "Just know I'm going to a better place. I didn't like life too much."[39][156]
According to this theory—used by Dave Cullen for his 2009 book Columbine— Harris had been the mastermind. He had a messianic-level superiority complex and hoped to demonstrate his superiority to the world. Klebold was a follower who primarily participated in the massacre as a means to simply end his life.[38][157]"
