Ending the suffering

Not to surprising.. the UK ranks among the lowest countries in terms of human flourishing, which is defined as "living in a state where all aspects of a person's life are good." A research study conducted at Harvard University, which examined 22 different countries over several years, found that the UK consistently ranks near the bottom. Notably, younger individuals are facing significantly more challenges than older generations. While human flourishing is expected to improve with each generation, this trend does not seem to hold true in some countries. It feels almost sadistic for the UK to allow people to continue suffering while suppressing the right to make autonomous decisions about their own lives including the choice of suicide rather than addressing the deep societal problems that are causing the suffering in the first place.
