Regarding 3., the reason it is being ignored is because it may dampen uptake of the vaccine by people who had already had and recovered from COVID. You probably were already aware this was a reason but just to clarify and in case. It's

I am not vaccinated either so playing Devil's advocate. I have not seen anything convincing regarding a risk of ADE for the vaccines as they are used in production. As far as I can tell, ADE could potentially happen for your natural an

I am not vaccinated. Firstly, I think it is great that effective vaccines have been able to get to market so quickly and in general lean towards the view that regulators and society in general is too conservative with this sort of thing. I

It means anything which violates the social norms and laws that undergird a society, one of which is suicide. Another might be illicit drug use, including psychedelics. Any solution or help a state-linked therapist provides must necessarily

I would agree, hence the offensiveness of suicide to society in the large.

One option might be to not require a medical cause for assisted suicide. Instead it could be something that people have an absolute right to do for any reason or none, though I do not think most societies would be comfortable with that. Per

The epithet of "chemical lobotomies" for antipsychotics is an appropriate analogy not just for the physical effects but also for the potential political uses.

It makes sense when you consider that the therapist is there to help you but only in a way that does not challenge society. You are right to not feel completely safe to discuss it, unfortunately. I'm not sure why this taboo has evolved

People did not live as long and would die of some cause such as illness long before they got to the age where they would develop things like dementia. Our situation with many people living to an advanced old age, an exceeding number by hist

You're right, it is not really a solution specifically to this problem, 'alternative' would have been better a better choice of words. Certainly I think it would be a good thing if people had the option of dying, even if they

Yes, it's unfortunate. The taboos (cultural or otherwise) and personal hang ups that people have surrounding death and dying prevent people from acting before it's too late. Ideally very-old-age/death planning would become as

I would definitely expect to read such an exposé and certainly there would be cases of people pressured into assisted suicide who otherwise would not want it. There is no good solution to this issue, in my mind. Some measures could be taken

Suicide is offensive to society and many individuals on a deep level, especially of people who do not have a "good reason" (such as a terminal illness). While it may have progressed beyond being a criminal act, it is still taboo e

I'm not aware of any that do not have horrible side effects. That is a value judgement I perhaps arrogantly think most people who have taken or been forced to take them (including myself) would agree with, maybe some people would not r

The solution in my opinion to this problem is to permit euthanasia and for assisted suicide to become culturally accepted as an alternative to a drawn out death of dementia in a care home. The quality of life for many (not all) care home re

Antipsychotics have horrific side effects but are useful in institutional settings to make residents/patients/inmates easier to manage - psychiatry is the tool used to legitimize drugging people without need for their consent in s
