assisted suicide vs suicide prevention

[brewer]

I said consensus agreement, not proof.

What will the assessment be based on? That it is probable things won't improve no matter what, when that is impossible to conclude.

What the treatment community considers valid. 

Impossible to conclude, maybe. What do you want the suffering debilitated patient with no hope to do? Continue to suffer when all treatment options have been exhausted? Oh, I know, wait for a miracle. Got it. 

Could it be possible that the miracle they wait for is death? 

The medical community has the ability to eliminate untreatable intractable depression, but patients and society no longer consider it an option. What left over isn't much of a life either.
