A comment on Canada euthanasia now accounts for nearly one in 20 deaths. Parent comment
- Some of those deaths are suicides.
- It is pure fantasy to imagine we can have a society with 0 suicides (when accounting scale, complexity and size).
The choice then becomes: help, or punish.
It is absolutely monstrous to punish, and helping does not mean killing every Tom, Dick and Harry with a case of the Monday blues.
