just a side note since i brought it up... i view euthanasia and assisted suicide as different.
i support assisted suicide not only for the terminally ill.
i was not speaking of it only in terms of being available only to those living with long-term illness.

i, too, am a social worker... for now. but i don't feel that i have to love everyone. nor do i feel that i must save everyone or even can. mental illness can be just as painful as physical and i don't really have the right to tell someone whether or not they're better off being physically here. i subscribe to "do no harm" to a point. i'll never encourage it and i'll follow through with the responsibilities that i am prescribed by my chosen profession, but outside of my job, my views are very different.

and they are mine. i was asked and i shared. and i'll not look down upon anyone else's thoughts on the subject. no one is right or wrong. we just are.


edit: okay, definitely moving too fast.
my bad on the assisted suicide. but i tried to clarify.

for those who say, "it'll pass"... what if suicidal ideations don't?
what if they continue to feel them and continue to be depressed?
is it okay then?
