You haven't helped me resolve my conflict.
Nobody should interfere in another's exercise of personal liberty except in cases when doing so harms another being. If we are going to have a free society that means some people will use that freedom to make bad choices. You can't have a free society and one in which the government tries to direct everyone / force people into making good choices. This is my belief. Still, I have no desire to see suicide kits sold OTC.
