Do you think this statement is true? I think it's one of the big- maybe the biggest hurdles in front of accepting suicide as an option for people. Especially assisted suicide. This idea that no problem is too big to be solved so therefore- suicide is never the answer.
Surely, in some circumstances, people conceed. Probably mostly incurable illness. Defined by doctors presumably. Even there though, you'll get the hardcore pro-lifers suggesting ways people can live with their debilitating illness. That pisses me off the most really.
Perhaps we will get to a stage where mental illness will be better accepted as intolerable. Still, I suspect the 'patient' will have to be able to provide evidence of multiple failed treatments.
I wonder if the same criteria is applied to physical illness. Surely, we are allowed to reject treatment there. I wonder if people are still admitted for assisted suicide if they have rejected treatment. How much is enough? How many hoops of fire will they need to leap through to prove that they can't be helped?
I wonder how they ascertain it too. Maybe there are certain illnesses they know to be especially painful and debilitating and they also know that current treatment is limited. Perhaps they are more willing to conceed that assisted suicide should be an option there. I wonder if the same will ever be applied to mental illness.
Do you ever wonder if it's an ego thing? Doctors and the medical profession at large not being willing to admit defeat that, they can't in fact cure all illness and as a result, people are left suffering. Plus, I suspect it generates a lot of cash when so many people are reliant on drugs.
I doubt relatively healthy people will ever get access to assisted suicide . I can't see them accepting people who want out because they simply don't like life. What would the criteria even be there? I've tried all these different things and, everything sucks!
