28 Year Old Woman-Physically Healthy-Decides to be Euthanized Due to Crippling Depression

There is help for depression. Provide the help they need.

Dude. Folks dealing with this get used to putting on a face. If they decide they don't want help, they ain't gonna get help.

I seriously can't believe I have to argue with other people to be sympathetic with people needing help.

Yes, people with chronic depression do well to hide it. It's unfortunate when family/friends miss the signs and can't/don't intervene before it's too late.

It seems callous to just dismiss them so easily.


Edit: And I'm sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you went through.

I guess I’m just a callous bastard. Fifteen days before he blew his brains out. You have no idea how many things we tried to help him.

I'm not calling you callous. I'm just saying depressed people need help. And I hope the help actually provides benefit.

Depressed people need help - long before euthanasia is considered.

My point is - they have to want it, otherwise it's pointless. Making programs available is great, but understand that only some of the depressed population will take advantage of that.

I acknowledge your point.

Don't you think Robin Williams received all the top notch "help" a person could pay for? You cannot fix everything. Sad as that is.

Normally it’s religious people that hate abortion. What’s your reasoning?

What the state provides as an option today may very well be mandatory in the future.
Talk about the ol slippery slope, wow!
What’s next?
Can’t pay the deductible on your health insurance so it’s the needle for you?
Murder by another name is what I see.

Change that to people with no liability car insurance and I'm 100% in. Lol
