    I support assisted dying and the right for people with terminal illness or in pain to end their lives.

    But the idea that we shouldn’t intervene if someone young and in good physical health wants to die just doesn’t sit right with me. Like, if someone told me they were going to end their life and I didn’t do something to try and stop it, I don’t think I’d ever be able to sleep at night.

    I strongly believe that you can still live a fulfilling life even if you suffer from poor mental health issues.

    Feel free to disagree, but that’s just me.

      I think the main argument against that is that if someone is going to follow through with it either way I’d much rather them do so in a painless way with a medical professional and that allows family and friends time to process. Obviously there should be requirements like therapy and stuff first, it shouldn’t be the first option presented, but if a person wants assisted death due to a mental illness that will cause them to suffer the rest of their life I don’t think that should be treated much differently than a person wanting assisted death due to a physical illness that will cause them to suffer the rest of their life.

      That’s the law in all countries that allow euthanasia, as far as I’m aware.

        It’s definitely not. I distinctly remember a thread from a year ago about a young woman killing herself through euthanasia purely because of mental illness and a bunch of people on here supporting it.
