Euthanasia for untreatable and incurable mental illnesses. A good or bad idea?

[Siri137]

No, a bad idea, because where will this eventually lead?

Mental illnesses are often at least as incapacitating as physical ones, if not more so, so yes, under certain circumstances I support this.

This issue is far too complex and nuanced for it to be a GAG question. No comment.

Something else, or see comment below.

I was diagnosed with "incurable" and "untreatable" Major Depressive Illness in 2000 aged 28.

So I told the doctors to fuck off and recovered.

I'm sure if Canada's Fuhrer had his way I'd have been offered execution.

There's no such thing as untreatable and incurable mental illness.

Allowing someone to live with dignity is treatment. The last regime to offer such a "solution" extended it to maladies like "being Jewish" or "homosexual".

Anyone still think it's a good idea?

I'd very much appreciate having that available to me

considering the victim is mentally ill and cannot consent that is murder.

Having depression and autism doesn't affect one's cognitive capacities. She can still make decisions, she's not delirious or schizophrenic.

Good idea if we can start with Trump.

And Biden, and all the CEO's of large companies like Disney and Facebook.
