assisted suicide vs suicide prevention

[Brian37]

You have to separate mental reasons from physical reasons when discussing this subject. If it's mental, most individuals have the ability to commit suicide on their own, in most cases no assistance would be needed.

What prevented me would be the stigma and shame it brings to my family. That's it.

And so I will fight to keep such stigma alive.

No, sorry that is not healthy. It makes it about them, and not you. The person who needs the help needs the focus without the judgment. If someone is judging you or your family for that that is cruel.

If someone had said to my mom, "Your son is evil because he is mentally ill" my mom would have told them to FUCK OFF.

Neither you or your family should be judged because of a very normal medical malady millions and millions worldwide cope with themselves or have family or friends affected by it. If someone is willing to disown you or your family because of something NORMAL, they are the truly sick people, not you.
