OneInBillions, maybe you can find some solace in the fact that as our societies are becoming more secular and progressive, the idea of assisted suicide services for people with terminal and mental illnesses is slowly becoming more socially acceptable. The idea of having the legal rights to a peaceful death is more socially acceptable in countries like the Netherlands and Switzerland, but changes are slowly starting to happen in Canada, the US, and many other locations. Hopefully states like Oregon, Washington, and Vermont will expand their physician assisted suicide laws in the near future, and allow some people with depression to end their lives peacefully. I also think the service should be available in prisons. Especially in states with the death penalty.
