Assisted suicide needs to be easier, and mental health needs to be taken more seriously. That poor guy with the parachute is gonna be fucked up for life. Additionally, the guy without could hurt or kill someone on the ground.
Or what if we tried to help people's lives not suck and gave them mental health support? Nah, suicide is cool and cuts into profits less.
You're both right. Sometimes life is unavoidably terrible with no recourse (see: most forms of dementia). Also we, as the most social species on the planet, should look out for each other more and make life better for everyone.
I’d prefer a person was able to get help easily, of course, but if they really have made up their mind it shouldn’t be a crime to end the game.
Also, suicide doesn’t cut into profit. The rich need slaves that cannot escape.
Help peoples lives not suck
Getting rid of the rich is a tall order, m'boy
Whatever happened to just swallowing a bunch of pills, shooting yourself at the computer chair, or dropping a toaster into the bathtub? Simpler times back then
It’s pretty easy to fuck all of those up and be left worse off than you are.
Over 80% of suicide attempts fail. Over 90% of those leave the person with significant physical damage. That is to say, if you wanna go that route, best make real sure.
As for pills, you're in for a painful time. And you'd be amazed how much damage a head can sustain, especially from a poorly aimed weapon. Toaster? Water isn't that good of a conductor, and besides you know....fuses exist and work.
Those simpler times were also when mentally ill and unread pregnant were simply hidden away.
All three methods are pretty risky to suffer a lot and potentially survive with dramatic injuries. There should be official, doctor-guided ways to end your life. It's not only in the best interest of the patient but also for society.
E.g. less traumatized people who get involuntarily involved (train drivers, people living/working near high buildings...). Less suffering in terms and hence medical costs caused by failed attempts etc.
lol, am skydiver, I hear this joke all the time.
Words of encouragement:
If at first you don't succeed... So much for skydiving.
