His body his choice. Idk why we force people to be alive when they don't want to. It would have been compassionate to allow him access to euthanasia. A big issue with suicide is that it endangers others / makes a mess. Euthanasia helps with that.


And I don't think everyone who is suicidal should be immediately given euthanasia drugs. But if they've tried medications, therapy, and life just really sucks for years, then idk that it's very kind to force them to deal with that when they really don't want to. I think it's a tricky topic though.

When I was a kid, my dad had me convinced that the allowance of euthanasia would very easily lead to a dystopian mechanic where the poor are forced to pick euthanasia to spare their families the cost of further treatment, and that this might become common practice.

I support merciful euthanasia but I can see why some might see it as a slippery slope, since it's hard to know where to draw the line
