Assisted Euthanasia

[macrocosm]

I just read an article about a writer with mental illness who got euthanized in Switzerland.

I don't see a lot of posts here about this. Any advice or anyone with experience with this?

Some European countries allow euthanasia for mental illness now (I don't live in one of them). Most notably perhaps Belgium that grants people with prolonged mental suffering the right to die (with N) any time they choose. I know it's really freeing for them. They can choose when it's time to go, they can say goodbye, they don't have to hide it or use unreliable methods.
I do with this was more widespread to give everyone the right to die on their own terms.

Suicide in Switzerland?

Just saw this story in the NYTimes this morning: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/18/obituaries/norah-vincent-dead.html?smid=tw-share Assisted suicide in Switzerland. This is a thing you can do for depression? I had no idea. Time to re-up that passport.
