I mean, by this logic, are you fine with anyone committing su*cide anytime for any (or no) reason? Why involve a doctor at all? In my view, this attitude is very problematic.

Teen girls wouldn't make it to adulthood.

How do you know that she HAS parents? —“Right” is an odd word to use here, especially without more information about what this woman is facing — and what her resources are.

I get it. I hope this woman is at peace with her decisions.

+1

I have a set of rules whereby I will peace out.
Don't care about you, my parents, the general populace. As PP said, GTFO.

I would do it too. I struggle with health issues and my end will not be good.

It wasn't a degenerative condition. It wasn't certain that it would get worse. She said her condition wasn't bad.

That's what was very confusing.

We have a teenager and, yes, the message was worded in a way that it felt like someone without a full perspective. Which is what felt unsettling.

She should take out some people who are a blight on this Earth. You know, since she is going to go anyways.

My mother died of ALS at 41. It's a horrible disease. If I were diagnosed, I would get my affairs in order and call it a day before things really progressed. People should be able to do that if they have something incurable.

Apparently this is the situation for this country. You don't need medical clearance to do it. You just need to be of sound mind.

True. My kids remind me of this! No repercussions, so take out a deplorable!

You don't even know her parents are alive.

My dad had huntingtons. I get it. He lived 7 difficult years after diagnosis, many of them unable to walk, talk or think clearly. If it were to happen to someone younger, I would understand the tough decision.

So what was the condition?
