When Safety Becomes Slavery

[Darkover]

Suicide Prevention should be entirely focused on trying to prevent people from wanting to commit suicide, rather than actively trapping people so that they can't die. If you prevent people from committing suicide but do not alleviate their suffering, you are trapping them, not saving them.
You should prevent their suicide by alleviating their suffering.

The right to die is a healthcare issue.

The right to die is great. Having to die because you have an incurable illness and the government won't help is fucked up.

A right to live without a right to die is unjust, as is the right to die without the right to live. Either one without the other is morally untenable.

Suicide prevention should only be for those who want their suicide prevented, or are maybe on the fence about taking their life
If someone is 100 percent sure they want to die, nobody has the right to stop them

Yes, but trapping people in privately owned hospitals means that other people can make tons of money off of it while virtue signaling that they're "helping".

Really profound darkover. You may as well be writing my biography. Have experienced exactly that way too many times. I don't know if you're in the United States but sounds like it. Also the issue is a corrupt mental health insurance fraud racket takes advantage of bad laws and policies to exploit people for profit without ever doing 1 thing and will actually help. It's immoral, inhumane and psychopathic really. I don't know how some of these people live with themselves but I guess I just said it. Psychopathic!

This is so true!

In my view such a thing as suicide prevention should never exist, people should just be able to die in peace whenever they wish to as after all it's their existence, not other people's. Suicide prevention really is just extreme cruelty and enslavement, suicide should be accepted as a valid personal choice, it's not something to so harmfully stop.

I find it disgusting how we exist in such a pro-suffering society where suicide isn't accepted as the human right that it is. It's such a devastating tragedy how I cannot just have the option to easily die in a peace even know I never chose existence, existing is completely undesirable and we are all just going to die anyway. Suicide prevention is just prolonging suffering and I don't want to suffer in any way, I just want nothingness. Not everyone wants to die slowly and painfully from old age, I'd rather die peacefully on my own terms.

I could not have said it better then this.

The problem is that with depression people won't believe they are ill or can get better.

The depression makes us hate life and hate everything about it. It lies to us.

Luckily most people do get better, just the minority of us have treatment resistant depression.

The right to die is a healthcare issue.

The Sarco Project was created to demedicalise it and it's good that it is found to be compliant with the Swiss law, but it still has lost momentum somehow.
