if you are considering suicide, you have major depression, and that’s true even if you have advanced cancer

Translation: “If you disagree with me, I will pronounce you mentally ill and incapable of making your own decisions, and the government should back me up in forcing you to accept my decisions.

Hmmm...

From one Christian standpoint
I do not own my life
I have a better thing

Stewardship

Suicide from this standpoint is
denial of gift, turning away from stewardship
Or worse, fearing God’s purpose in our appointed task

In my very limited experience (24 years in Neurology)
Suicide is always preceded
by a profound deterioration in Self Love

No exceptions

However, we don’t live in a country where the government is supposed to be imposing your religious beliefs on people who don’t share them. And “profound deterioration in Self Love” is just silly psychobabble (and certainly doesn’t have squat to do with neurology).
