Quote:Should the state be on the hook for the medical costs of botched suicides? I would imagine that would quickly get more expensive than euthanasia.That is only true if the number of failed suicides is higher compared to accomplished/successful ones - Ultimately this isn't just about costs but about valid reasons for the government and medical institutions to care about it when healthcare's responsibility is preserving life and not ending it. Why not create a new industry just for assisted suicide then? It seems reasonable and it would eliminate any further controversies surrounding the problem.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
