It’s like anything, regulating it is safer than pushing it underground.
If we lived in a civilized society we’d all have healthcare and they could require x amount of counseling or requiring some kind of waiting period and we’d likely see a drastic decrease in heat of the moment incidents.
People wouldn’t risk most “at home” methods if there was an alternative that required a slight postponement.
And if it self identify people who desperately need mental healthcare, we’d likely see a decrease in mass shooters as well since most are suicidal and feel they have no exit. If they expressed interest in a program with mandatory counseling, lots of innocent bystanders as well may be saved.
We need to start thinking about what really helps and not just going with gut feelings.
I don’t have a terminal illness, but I sure wish suicide booths were a thing.

Might as well die with your boots on. Take that as you will.
The only reason I’m still here is because I’m the caretaker of my mother, who has dementia. When she goes, I go. I would prefer it to be painless. Medically assisted suicide should be legal.
You matter. Go out and see the world first.
I know you’re trying to be supportive, but you don’t know their situation, what they’ve done in their life, and why they’ve chosen this. It comes across like you know better or that they can’t already know what they want and what the ramifications are.
I appreciate the thought.
What’s the minimum age and do you have to be sick?
I know right? At some point I’ll just be ready to end this shithole capitalist hellscape existence, even tho not technically “my time”.
