"There is only one philosophical problem - suicide."
Albert Camus (in the "Myth of Sisyphus").
It is obviously a logistical problem as well, you mellon!
But if Stelios - had created a company called "Easydeath" [rather than "Easyjet/EasyDeathForThePlanetEarth"] - for uncomplicated suicides -
I don't think he would get that much business anyway.
I do not necessarily advocate this for a second. But I do believe that suicide is a human right.
And if suicide were effectively made easily available I do not believe that that would necessarily mean that there would be more of it. There may even be less.
Regardless of whether there would be more of it or less of it, I believe in individual freedom.
Since "mental illness" simply does not exist - there is no link between it and suicide. Nor can there be.
"Suicide is a fundamental human right. This does not mean that it is morally desirable. It only means that society does not have the moral right to interfere."
Thomas Szasz.
I agree with this.
"If I should die think only this of me,
I'm just another victim of Psychiatry."
