Those of you who are against her doing this, do you think that mental problems produce less suffering than physical problems? How long should she have to suffer to please you?
What does "pleasing us" have to do with this issue.
Please don't try the guilt trip tactics others try on us - it won't work.
Depression is a complex issue (trust me, I know), as is modern medicine (again, from one who knows).
I don't think euthanasia is the way to go for people with mental illness. I don't even agree with it for others, unless they have no chance, are in serious pain, and there's absolutely no hope for them.
If we start euthanizing people because they have depression, where does it end? And what if, within a short timeframe, a new drug or treatment appears on the market
