The point is whether if there is any chance of recovery
I was asking your opinion on a general voluntary euthanasia where it is solely the decision of the individual, so long as they are not incapacitated or have let their wishes be known via a living will.

No Joe, Hitler would be a bad example, and by recognised internet protocol, mention of Hitler automatically loses you the argument.
Example:
Peter. "I don't like cats."
Joe. "That sounds like something Hitler would say."

The fact that the "state" has taken over our bodies is sign that we are living in a matrix/alien - type world.
In my state suicide is illegal. Think about that for a moment

The state exists to prevent morons from harming themselves or others because some people are just too stupid to know better. Maybe you'll think about that for a moment, but probably not.

But if you or your family was affected you may well think of it quite differently.
I'll repeat :suicide is illegal in Queensland (my state). This is the height of stupidity and the failure of governments to address this problem is a sham.
This country which is more or less the best we have in the world. If you don't have a job the government will subsidize you because it can ( smalll poplation)
So no reason not to stay alive in a relatively good way.
Then why the high suicide rate? expecially amongst youth? Another example that capitalism and redneck values have a real toll in the country towns in Australia

Originally posted by JS357Just complete systematic failure. And the suicide rates are substantial.
Repeat offenders get the death penalty.
Of course they don't mind spending 100 000's on cameras on tall bridges so "authorities" can intervene. But I rarely hear of anyone getting adequate effective counselling. They'll be cutting those camera wires soon.
Point is, like smoking weed (for example) it is fairly hard to police.

Probably more like psychologically disturbed individuals who need proper care rather than being locked up for attempting suicide
