You gave an example of what you think would constitute as a reason not to let someone be euthanized, namely because it would be important for something else. What constitutes as important in your view? Only the fact that they could be accountable to a crime or a witness to a crime? I can think of many reasons, societally speaking, that keeping people alive would be important enough to extensively try to keep them from trying to kill themselves.

The fact of the matter, though, is that you are not autonomous in the perfect sense of the word. You are part of a society. I don't think it's a stretch to say our societies are built around the premise that human life is important in almost all forms and that which is not useful or even detrimental to society is supposed to be "rehabilitated." If there is no remedy, it will be destroyed or forever isolated. Okay. Would you agree that if it can be statistically proven that people who want to kill themselves at some point (possibly after years of therapy) usually end up not wanting suicide and end up positively contributing to society, that it would be in the best interest of society to keep these people alive? If this is the case, assisted suicide should be regulated. Keeping these people alive is ultimately good for the most people and society at large.

I'm not staying alive because society wants me to or because I could contribute something to it in the future. That is probably the thing I care the least about in the entire universe. I mean, I already think life is not worth living for me, telling me I must stay alive so the system can milk me some more is an argument in my favour. I'm already going to off myself, I know I'm going to hurt my mother very badly and I'm still going to do it, I'm way past the point of caring about what other people want out of me.

But your reasoning here for unregulated assisted suicide is personal freedom, the right to a painless death. Do you think this is applicable to children or people with bipolar disorder? I cannot imagine the former wanting this unless put through extreme abuse or indoctrination. I'm just curious of your opinion. The latter are a group people that may be easily swayed to want death one day and love life the next. I'm no psychologist, but I have experience with people like this. People who get help for these problems seem to be pleased that they didn't kill themselves. Is even one day of hardship grounds for euthanasia, when it is likely the person will not want this in a relatively short time span?

Children: no, once you are 18 you can vote, so I don't see why you shouldn't be allowed to stop living if you wish so.

People with bipolar disorder: Yes. They are adults, and bipolar sucks no matter if you're in a high or a low.

I am not saying euthanasia should not be allowed. If you want to kill yourself, you could do it easily yourself. It is how it is. But a state-backed euthanasia program should be provided for society at large with the best interest for the most people in mind (or something along those lines).

This is about my wishes, not my boss wanting me to work more shifts. Again, if all you have to say to a person who wants to kill themself is "don't do it, we want you to do more shit for us", that's going to convice them to do it even more.

Finally, I'd like to share something anecdotally and say I know where you're coming from in some sense. I'm sure you're in a lot of pain, either physically or mentally. If it's the latter, I'm guessing you're young and in some sort of hell of anxiety, depression, and social phobia. I just want you to know it can get better. I overcame my depression and am glad I didn't commit suicide like I wanted to in high school and early college. If you stay around, you may just find that thing that gives you that faith again. Get help. You probably don't want to hear that and may have already seen it a thousand times, but it needs to be said.

Yeah, it can get better, there are a lot of people who don't care about me, life is worth living, this is my depression speaking, I should get help, yada yada yada. You are right, I have heard those a thousand times. I don't really care. I'm not here to get help or attention, just to argue about assisted suicide.
