There is an ever so slight difference between the appeal of jumping off a building, slitting your wrists, overdosing on some self-made drug cocktail, … and having a professional inject you a syringe of carefully dosed substances which will make you comfortable drift off into the eternal void. Not just for the patient, but also everyone around them. In the past, I had to comfort a friend who was severely traumatised after a patient of hers jumped out of the hospital’s window after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis.
