THE ABSOLUTE, INARGUABLE TRUTH (as I see it):
Sanctioned Suicide is full of emotionally manipulative horrorcows, but adults with sufficient personal reason should be allowed to kill themselves if they so choose. The government shouldn't be going out of their way to provide assistance to do it, but it shouldn't be completely taboo either. There are lots of people in world, some would say too many people (I would say that) and the percentage of those people who at some point may consider suicide is probably waaay greater than anyone truly knows, but the percentage that actually pursues it to conclusion is comparatively low. I don't believe it is quite the spiraling epidemic that concerned mothers would have you think it is and I would argue that the majority of those concerned (usually single) mothers weren't in the least bit concerned about the topic until their child (who they likely goaded into trooning out or who they started shoving medications down the throat of from a very young age, convinced they weren't "normal") became a part of that percentage. I believe that SS being a hub of advice on how to come to an end with the least amount of physical suffering is fine, maybe even noble in a sort of fucked up way, but that providing or directly linking to sourcing (with referral codes to help "give back" to your "content creator") for the actual means to implement the action should be off limits on the platform itself. A sufficiently motivated adult should be able to source the necessary ingredients without needing someone to literally hand them an all-in-one kit. The forum itself is cancer. It largely encourages sociopaths and narcissists to use it as a means to garner ass-pats from other sociopaths and narcissists and to manipulate vulnerable children. Anyone there with a sincere intent to actually follow through with the act will by necessity not be posting for very long. If it was my site I would ban anyone who regularly talks about wanting to kill themselves without any indication that they will ever follow through and I would ban anyone where there is even the barest suspicion that they may be under the age of 18. Besides that, adults should be allowed the courtesy of autonomy over their own bodies.
