I read that the police were extinguishing the guy who set himself on fire yesterday only two minutes after it began. Obviously, the guy did not want to live. Putting out the fire so quickly does not ease his suffering and would only increase it if he were to live. As long as nothing else is at risk of catching fire perhaps it would be best to stay away. What do you think?
I don’t recognize suicide as something that falls under bodily autonomy. It’s almost always caused by mental health issues and shitty living situations.
If someone in chronic pain wants to opt for euthanasia, that’s different, and I support it. Their condition can’t be improved, and they’re making the decision with a sound mind.
