Tag: medically assisted suicide

Medically assisting someone in suiciding because they’re poor or experiencing mental or emotional distress does not value life; it shows a blatant disregard for it.

If we describe “death with dignity” as a benefit, a good thing, a release and relief and a mercy for people with chronic unbearable and unmanageable pain, why do we also describe exclusions from assisted suicide for people with mental illness as a protection rather than discrimination?
