Suicidal thinking is almost always a mental health problem or the result of a mental health problem.

You say that there are some situations where suicide is a rational choice. But even in these cases it's not that clear.

While I respect the right to chose death, and support changing of law to allow people to seek medically assisted suicide, I am worried that people with undiagnosed depression who would respond to treatment are allowed to die.
