I think it's the encouragement more than anything, but seriously, you would have to be a bit FUBAR to really want to help a kid kill themselves. Just MHO. Yes, the info is there, but kids are easily pushed by the right words from the right person. A person that they consider their friend, even online, could finish them off more than words on a random website. Ever had kids?
Right, I'm not saying tell them to go off themselves, that's clearly unethical.If you're thinking I have some hard-on for helping people die, you're mistaken. I'm all for listening to them, try to help them with their circumstances, but I'm not gonna call the cops on them, fry to force/nag them into treatment, or any of that shit. I won't give them new ideas on how they should do the deed, but if they talk about a method that seems risky I'll warn them. If they ask me where to get the PPH, honestly, I don't know what I'd do. Yeah they might die young, or they might screw up whatever method they read about and end up fucked, or maybe I'd discourage them and then their life turns to shit and that's now partially my responsibility. Orr maybe I'd discourage them and they'd live a long, fairly content life. Idk what the outcome would be, so I'm just saying, it's hard to know exactly what the ethical decision is. This is not a clear, black and white thing. Hopefully, no one that young ever asks me these things. But, ideally, I prefer to stay as neutral as possible, it's not my life.
I'll say this, I am pro assisted suicide for anyone, of any age, as long as they are of sound mind and realize the consequences of their actions. They should be screened to make sure this is the case. If some people decide to get out young, they should be able to. I don't personally, want to help anyone ctb. It shouldn't be my responsibility. It should be an elective medical procedure that we all have rights to. But life is high risk, so I'm personally not going to try and get anyone to stick around.
No i'm not reckless enough to have kids, thank god.
Really, it would be better if this site were 18+ which would take away all these dilemma's.
