  Police have no duty to protect anyone. Literally. There are no laws saying police have to help anyone. Police do not exist to help anyone.

    SCOTUS has actually ruled the opposite, police have no duty to protect anyone but corporate interests

      One might note there are practical differences between duty, morality, and law.

        And which of those 3 do the police believe in? 🤔

  Why? What about bodily autonomy?

    I don’t recognize suicide as something that falls under bodily autonomy. It’s almost always caused by mental health issues and shitty living situations.

    If someone in chronic pain wants to opt for euthanasia, that’s different, and I support it. Their condition can’t be improved, and they’re making the decision with a sound mind.

      So… bodily autonomy, but on your conditions?

      Also:

      It’s almost always caused by mental health issues and shitty living situations.

      I doubt that you have a source for that and I doubt there could even be a study for that for the survorship bias alone. Literally, in this case.

    If you’re talking about assisted suicide, that is done with a doctor’s assistance, not by setting yourself on fire.
