I believe even 18 year olds will be allowed to get help from the Canadian government to commit suicide if they are feeling just a little bit down. You know, when they have the blues. Canada Will Legalize Euthanasia for Those Struggling With Mental Illness - Daily Citizen (focusonthefamily.com)
Basically years of mental suffering till the point you are suicidal. A more humane way to commit suicide.. Rather than say jump in front of a train, and give the train driver trauma and the people who have to pick up your body parts... Maybe not so much of a problem in the US, where you can check out Jesse Livermore style, but still someone has to discover your body..
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Especially with 18 year old kids. I don't know if you have kids or not, but would you want them to commit suicide if they felt depressed or had anxiety?
Why do you assume it's temporary? Obviously 18 is very young and I don't think they should be advertising this on NHL commercial breaks, but there is such a thing as chronic depression. I would like to see people make it into their 30's and give adulthood a shot first. However, they should be able to choose whether or not they want to live.
Those who fight for people who are suicidal will tell you it is temporary. That is one reason why there are suicide hot lines. Canada doesn't care if you make it to your thirties, they want to help you kill yourself when you are as young as 18. It's bordering on being evil. At the very least, it is lunacy. Religious people know that it is insane to kill people just because they haven't found the answer to their depression YET.
People who have never been depressed should not be giving depressed people advice on how to deal with it. Likewise, the guy in that video giving advice through the Bible to a nearly-homeless guy in a wheelchair is wrong, because that video guy is NOT going to be homeless in 2 months. The bottom line? Just as it is nobody else's business on whether a mother should be allowed to abort their own unborn child...Nobody other than a mentally-stable person should be allowed to decide their own fate. If they want to kill themselves, fine. Their body, their choice. Now will the guy in the video reach out to the nearly homeless man and offer to shelter and feed him and his dog for the reminder of their lives? No? Then he needs to STFU about it.
