Reply to comment by Karenomegas in Genevieve Lhermitte: Belgian mother who killed her five children euthanised by Quirkie

Maybe if assisted suicide was legal, then she could have ended her life before she ended the lives of her children

That's not a great argument considering she could have just killed herself before going on a murder fest.

There's no real causality either... sort of like saying if Big Macs had 3 patties instead of 2 patties some passengers would have gotten sick on 9-11, missed their flights, and lived. So therefore Big Macs should have 3 patties.

You make it sound like suicide is an easy thing to do. It’s not. Killing yourself is mentally and physically hard. Look at all the failed suicide attempts. But it would be easier if you have someone helping you.

Assisted suicide is legal in Belgium for medical grounds.
