The pain of suicidal thoughts is the worst harm that can be done to a psyche. There is no greater torture than living day after miserable day wanting to die with no hope.
I would not let anyone endure this even if they're a member of the scum that is the human race. I want to give people like me the death they so desperately need.
It isn't a rights issue nor is mental health pathologisation relevant. This is an issue which centres around how compassionate human civilization has become. It clearly lacks the compassionate view I hold, a view earned through living through this hell for years.
Let us tragedies find peace. This is the message I would communicate as the reason the world needs to legalise assisted suicide.
I believe I am 100% right. But I am also aware that if I'm successful I may be remembered in history as a mass murderer. If I'm wrong then history's assessment would be correct.
I haven't finished this thought process. My instincts tell me I'm doing the right and compassionate thing. I'm aware that there are cases of chronically suicidal people having full remission of suicidal ideation many years after their death wish started. I've even had brief periods where I've not wanted to die but the death wish always comes back. I believe this information could and should be conveyed to a person considering the suicide route but they have the choice of what they do with that information. It's not reason enough to deny people an end to this exquisite and very personal torture. And that's why I'd risk being thought of as the biggest modern mass murderer. A personal cost I would bear to do the right thing for the suicidal.
Or not?
