I just think we should be a society that strives to help those battling depression and suicidal thoughts live, not one that helps these people die. And that our legal system should reflect that by limiting assisted suicide only to those who are terminally ill or debilitated. If that means I'm trying to "control someone's life" I suppose so be it, though I definitely wouldn't put it that way at all. A person has the free will to go and take their life at any moment. The question is whether or not a civilized society should assist them in doing it.
Sorry if I'm being annoying, and I know you're having a rough day, my friend. I just wanna make sure I'm completely clear on where I stand to those who may not have been following this whole discussion and that this isn't about control for me.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
