Assume you view suicide as being punished with eternal torment. Someone wants to kill themselves, but, if you kill them instead it isn't a mortal sin. From your moral framework the execution is now a mercy. They no longer suffer, in this life or the next. Ya know, if you believe in sky daddies and whatnot. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pixeltree@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I mean, even without the religious aspect, that might be kinda nice "We caught you trying to kill yourself through some nasty means, here, have some state sponsored painless nitrogen to breathe" I mean setting aside the horrible power it would give the gov, it's a really funny image of someone being talked down from suicide by jumping into getting professional suicide help so they can do it easier permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 2 points 2 years ago I would prefer some therapy first, but I also believe in the right to self termination if that fails, so fair enough. permalink fedilink source parent
