I'm pro-choice. I don't believe in denying people access to information, but I think it's irresponsible to basically endorse/promote an ineffective, agonizing or dangerous method by listing it under the resource section. It does this forum a huge disservice.
To illustrate my concern, how's this for a headline:
"Man on dialysis while awaiting kidney transplant after ingesting poisonous mushroom recommended by suicide website."
"Woman kills boyfriend and gouges own eyes out due to hallucinations caused by ingesting poisonous plant. Blames suicide website that listed it in resource section."
SN can be agonizing, ineffective and dangerous. So can hanging. Is it irresponsible to endorse and promote them as well?
There are plenty of headlines about dying from and surviving these methods. And headlines about people who ctb'd with SN because they got help from this website.
If you wish to present more arguments, I look forward to respectfully engaging with them as well. I don't have a vendetta against you. Whenever I am convinced I am in error, I admit it. I have done so publicly many times.
Edit: People are responsible for researching their chosen methods. Anyone who blindly takes one of these plant medicines without researching it is at fault for not knowing about deleterious effects such as hallucinations.
