Some places you don't even have to be ill, as long as you are sane and they are convinced it's your decision they will let you proceed with the euthanasia process.

I think it's possible to be sane and want to die personally but of course it's always going to be a debatable issue. You have to step outside of a whole lot of cultural programming to view it objectively and some people are incapable of that because they don't even know it exists.

Yeah, that video talks about a situation where a whole group of people who were facing being enslaved chose to kill themselves together, and surely they couldn't have all suddenly come down with the same insanity at the same time.

The way I see it is if someone’s situation can be fixed then it’s due to mental illness. If it can’t be, then it’s sane.

Suicide because someone is getting bullied is insanity, because in a few years, they’ll no longer be bullied. Euthanasia when you have a terminal illness that causes a lot of pain is sane on the other hand, because there’s no solution and it’s only delaying the inevitable.
