I am married to a person who came very close to suicide and might have gone through with it except for the relative difficulty and the intervention of other people against her will.
After short-term medication, long-term therapy, and some lifestyle changes, we live mostly normal lives and have two happy children.
So you're damn right I'm asserting that there's a right decision and that I knew better than her in her chemically imbalanced state.
Now, this is one scenario that has a happy ending. I don't know what I would think about someone chronically and incurably suffering. But the idea of absolutely unfettered access to assisted suicide scares me.
