So people have to be mentally ill and in physical pain. What a great outlook for those mentally ill and seeking to end their misery. Now they have to hurt themselves too in order to be taken seriously.

    Mental illness is more than just depression.

    A scitzophrenic has a mental illness.

    What we're talking about is that if you have a mental illness and you want to be unalive, you should have the option to be assisted in fulfilling that wish. Nowhere does it state "all depressed people must be killed". Nowhere.
