Are you saying that if euthanasia was permitted under the auspices of medical professionals, that suicide would increase amongst those who are mentally ill that go through the process of seeking out those medical professionals, or that suicide would increase amongst those who are mentally ill that don't seek out medical professionals (i.e. they do it themselves), due to the increased acceptance of suicide?
The latter. I'm not saying that it would necessarily be the result, but I have a very strong fear that it would.
