Therapists, and pretty much no other living person on this Earth in our current human culture, can accept that some people wanting to die, and going through with it, would be ok.
As humans continue to advance over the next hundred to 1000 years from now, we will eventually accept that it's ok if someone wants to die and we can let them, under certain circumstances at least.
I never understood the mentality that ALL HUMANS MUST live no matter what. We put animals down. Yet we keep drooling and lifeless vegetable humans (who likely are NOT enjoying their life, I have no right to determine that for them but that's my assumption) alive on tubes and wires because we cannot handle these difficult issues. I will always see this as selfish. There may be a few happy ones but I guarantee most vegetable human beings (probably 99% if we're honest) who can't even scratch that itch under their leg or let you know if they are in pain want to fucking die. We wouldn't let an animal suffer like that, not a dog or even a cat, so I don't know what the fuck we think we're doing with humans.
It's mostly a legal thing imo. Doctors agree to an oath that they can only preserve life, not end it.
We erase that whole notion for criminals in places like Texas though. Go ahead, if were mad enough at them, kill them with capital punishment. Bur God forbid we kill a person who is already 99% dead or wish they were dead.
Humans are thoughtless ignorant creatures in so many areas, it makes me sick.
Things are probably better now than they were 1000 years ago, but if I could fast forward and live in 3000A.D., I imagine society in that time period would be a lot more honest about thinks like death, dying, among many many other things.
