The Parents Who Let Their Daughter Die

Well, that's enough internet for me today.

It's sad that people have been brainwashed into thinking a temporary state is permanent

Three years doesn't really seem like a temporary state IMO, not that I agree with the outcome here.

I think europeans have gotta be the biggest pussies and cowards on the planet.

Then the pandemic hit. As lockdowns stretched on, Iris retreated—into her room, away from friends, away from everything.

Aaaaaaand there’s what caused it. Thanks media and govt.

How come only white people get the Canada shot in these libtard countries that import foreigners and not all the foreigners they bring in

When my Father was dying from lung cancer, I found he had left his pistol loaded and cocked. I chose to leave it that way so IF he made a decision, it would be his decision. We didn't talk about it, it was just there. I don't think Mother knew and she was having major problems with her health.
There are no easy answers.

I thiknk self determination cannot be forbidden.

The First Lady Who Watched Her Husband Die On The Debate Stage.

I read that article over the weekend. It provokes conflicting thoughts and I don't think there is a right answer. I do not see a world in which I would allow my children to commit suicide. But what if the child had terminal cancer? Is it OK to allow that child to die earlier without suffering? Probably yes, right?

Was this girl's depression the equivalent of terminal cancer? That is harder to say because there is no perfect diagnosis for this type of mental disease. So it is easier to say there should not be euthanasia for teenage mental disease.

But, unfortunately, there are a certain number of children who commit suicide. There are also those that self-medicate with street drugs who reach the same result. Was this girl on that path? How much anguish and suffering would she and her parents have gone through without this process? Did allowing her to end her life with her parents consent save the parents the heartache of unanswered questions and her the heartache of putting her parents through it?

I get the sincerely held belief that suicide is a sin. But isn't it also a sin to allow intolerable suffering?

Just hit no thanks and you can read it.

Though I suggest you don't, it's depressing.

Even if it didn't have the clickthrough, there is always archive.ph

I agree with this. It was most definitely a thought-provoking article. It's a moral minefield colored every shade of gray there is. It's one of those article you need to read after you have cleared your mind of any preconceived opinions. You're likely to come to the same conclusions you had assumed at the start, but it does take you a journey, and for me that journey was about how complicated existence, ego, suffering, parenting, and mental health truly are.

I finished the article and I wanted to punch the parents, but I also wanted to hug them. Those parents came to a different conclusion than I would have likely come to in their situation.
