I’m not necessarily opposed to letting someone with a Terminal Physical Illness go out on their own terms. As opposed to letting whatever illness they have degrade them to a point they can’t function or even get out of bed. Supposing they want it without outside pressure by the Government or anyone else.
But without fail. These ‘Assisted Suicide’ laws keep being expanded. Whether by Legislation or Legal Challenges by the Mentally Ill. To encompass even trivial mental illness. As grounds for Suicide.
Normalizing suicide as a permanent solution for every physical and mental problem including temporary ones isn’t a path society should be treading down.
