The device is typically used for terminally ill patients. Please don’t give up! I’m 17 and I’ve been there. 15 was one of my hardest years as well, but I PROMISE you it gets better. It’s not easy, but the bad times go away eventually. If you ever wanna talk more, and need a friend who will listen to you with no judgement at all, I’m here for you!

No, search for help. It is always the nice persons with good hearts who want to say goodbye to this world far too soon. We need you here, to counterbalance to the bad and hateful people. Life is hard, especially with a big sensitive heart, but with help you will know hapiness in the future.

Please don’t give up! You still have so much life to live, and I’m sure it will get better. Sending virtual love 💕

30 years after I calmly told my mother I wanted to kill myself, I'm still here and have never thought that way again. Always remember what I learned in those 30 years: nothing lasts forever, and that includes the bad times. You never know what will happen tomorrow or the day after that. The greatest day of your life has yet to come - don't miss out on that.

Babe are you doing okay? Please don’t give up if it’s depression/mental health issues, I know it’s tough but we all want you here ❤️ I promise you it gets better the older you get, I’m 32 and life genuinely gets easier when you’re out of your teens and 20s, I absolutely promise you. Sending you lots of panda love ❤️

I take your point about the dignity, but pretty pod aside (a similar enclosure should cost a fraction of that), I can't see what would cost £1 million that couldn't be provided by inert gas fire extinguishers, frozen nitrogen or the old banger(that is living its happy retirement on my driveway). I'm not being callous, merely curious and I suffer from an illness that makes this very relevant.

It should be normalized (IMO) only for the provably terminally ill. I can't imagine the pain and suffering that people go through for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, accidents that leave one either unable to move or care for themselves, etc. Personally (I know it isn't for everyone), I would choose to die with dignity, on my terms.

I mean decades down the line. If it reaches the point where every decently sized town has one or even just counties then there will be people arguing that it should be legalized for sever depression or even things like autism. It might take a century to get there and it might never happen but as long as there is, in my mind, even a 10% chance it's not worth it.

My issue is not now it's three or four over ten decades from now when every small town has one of these and there are people auguring that if someone has sever depression they should be allowed to use it. Yes that sounds ridiculous right now but relevantly that will become an issue. Edit: And my condolences for your illness.

I fully agree. Strict guidelines (i.e., terminally ill, 3 different doctors' diagnosis, etc.) That has always been my thoughts about we don't let our pets suffer, yet we tell people to bad, that is the way it has to be. As for people who have severe depression, not allowing them to use assisted suicide - if they really want out, they will find a way, and it may not work, leaving them even more damaged due to their attempts. One of my military friends tried jumping off a building - he survived but is a vegetable.

It seems that many people here don't believe that healthcare costs in the USA are so high that, for some people the only affordable choices are suffering terribly from a treatable disease or euthanasia. Either that, or the Health insurance companies have people here downvoting any post that attacks them...
