Or, and hear me out here, instead of giving the government a cop out to say “your well-being is not our problem, have fun killing yourself”, we have them do their jobs of governing and providing people with basic living standards and human dignity.
If they didn’t suspend this and went ahead with this, what’s preventing them from basically saying “it is what it is, if you can’t function in the society we made inaccessible, here’s your way out, not our job to coddle you”?
Disabled and mentally ill people killing themselves to suit society’s needs will become the norm when it should be the opposite. This is basically systemic eugenics.
I agree with you: we do not do enough for our citizens. We should be doing way more. Where I disagree with you is preventing those who genuinely want to leave this world from doing so with dignity.

This isn’t a “fuck the ill, kill 'em”.
