    Exactly. If we’re talking about vibes, seeking to normalize suicide for people with disabilities gives me the same vibes as far-right eugenics stuff.

      Ill say one thing. As some one with disabilities. While i have no desire myself. Heck my life will be short anyway.

      I do feel it is a right people should have.

      It just really requires a sound mind at the time of choice. And huge effort to ensure it is not a choice the paiteint is neing forced or guilted into making.

      As I cant really come up with an effective and garenteed way to enforce those restrictions.

      Im currently happy my natiin will not allow anyform of assisted suicide. It must be entirly at partients own control. And technocally even then its a crime. But one that xamt be punished. Where as an assistant will be jailed.

      But I can hope/wish for a world where people could choose to have suffering ended without so much risk of others pushing them into it for thier ow. Reasons.

      As I say its not a choice I would make. But my own health means it could be one I mY want amd need help to make in the future.
