      There’s nothing edgy. If someone is suffering enough to want to leave then it’s cruel to force them to stay.

          I get your point but let’s not pretend that the world is in a good state and that healthcare can fix all mental or physical issues. Often if you have gotten to the point of suicide it’s because you’re not treatable or because of external factors like extreme poverty.

          I’m sorry, but this seems divorced from reality and resonates in precisely the same way that “pro lifers” resonate when they make a claim that adoption is the answer to abortion. Well, ok, show me where there are lines of people waiting to adopt. Likewise, show me where the infrastructure is to heal all these people.

            It’s “divorced from reality” to suggest we should intervene when someone wants to commit suicide?

            I don’t know what to say to you mate. Good day.
