“I don’t know. Something seems off about this but I can’t really put my finger on why. I just have an overall sense that this doesn’t bode well in some way.”

I agree.
I had a drunken relative who often called saying he was going to jump off a bridge and kill himself.
I got so weary of it I would just tell him to go ahead and jump.
He never did,but if he had would I have been blamed?
A VERY slippery slope.

I think maybe what’s bothering me is the feeling that somehow, on some level, this further chips away at the notion of personal responsibility. Yeah. That might be it. Nobody made him kill himself. He didn’t have to do it. I think I’m getting closer to what’s bugging me but I’m still not certain.
