This is naïve and unintentionally cruel. I know you don't have a cruel bone in your body, Dion, but what I mean is some people's existence is pure torture and expecting them to carry on like we do is just too much. So on top of being in either severe physical and/or mental anguish, we guilt people for having suicidal tendencies and force them to carry burdens beyond what they can handle.
Sometimes suicide is merciful. I think that's who these pods are for and I'm glad the Swiss will have access to them. Once you've exhausted all chances of improvement, it can be time to bow out.
