I haven't the patience to go through 50 pages of this thread to see if anyone's mentioned this but in Switzerland, the mentally ill can choose to end their own lives in a peaceful and dignified manner (much like those who have physically terminal illnesses). I wish this was available to anyone, anywhere. Not because I feel it's the ultimate solution to mental illness (not just depression - many, many mental illnesses are contributing factors to suicide) but because for many of us, years and years of suffering without relief should be enough to have the freedom to choose a less traumatic death.

I just can't believe people would rather have people blowing their heads off than receiving a controlled substance in a hospital to end their suffering once and for all.
