I want to add my agreement here.
I don't know about Australia, but some 30,000 Americans commit suicide every year, without manipulatively dragging our major medical, legal, and political structures into it for "assistance" or "permission."
I would argue that it's a wicked and/or a pathetic thing to commit suicide "freelance" --- though who can judge in the case of the clinically depressed or otherwise impaired? But that doesn't even compare to the rotten evil of "legal" or "assisted" suicide where you manipulate and corrupt your own friends and family, and the major institutions of society, as your accomplices.
Doctors, nurses, and hospice workers should not be pulled into the picture as accessories to the deed, because they are, and should be, unalterably committed to the patient's health: and nobody is healthier dead.
Lawyers, judges, and politicians should not be implicated in suicide because they're supposed to be dedicated to our rights and liberties: and death effectively snuffs ALL rights and all liberties.
I have never quite understood why those would-be suicides who say their #1 value is personal autonomy, don't just do it --- like those other thousands of self-respecting autonomous suicides* --- and leave the rest of us out of it.
* (Hoping the irony here is apparent.)
It seems odd that the obvious statements you made even have to be stated! Great points and well said, Mrs. Don-o. Hope you don't mind if I use these quotes.
