If we gave people who don’t want to be here anymore access to safe, effective, painless, suicide, desperate people wouldn’t have to resort to desperate methods of opportunity that can harm others.
We aren’t willing to be a society. We could not be more clear on that point. Visit one of your local tent cities where we leave defective capital batteries to die of exposure and police harassment if you’re still hazy on this fact. We aren’t willing to help the struggling in anything but empty rhetoric about how, lol, compassionate we consider ourselves. The least we could do is offer an out that doesn’t cause a scene or externalized death. Hell, turn it into an industry let our capitalist owners profit more off of it, win/win.
Inb4 “this bastard tried to kill others, they deserve no mercy!” yeah, when you’re suicidal, you aren’t exactly able to think outside your own pain, even more reason not to continue to let death by gun purchase be the current gold standard of American suicide.
