>> He wanted to die and so he ended his life.

The argument, and it is a good one, is that his desire to die was likely a short-term valley and was the result of an illness that might have been treated successfully had he had the proper care. Unfortunately, getting care for these diseases can be difficult even for the wealthy.

Depression, and its close relative, substance addiction, are diseases. But the treatment for one is often inadequate and the treatment for the other is almost nonexistent.

Brumar,
In those places where this right has been affirmed (Belgium, Holland, Oregon), depression is accepted as a valid reason for ending one's life.
I never heard this, even from supporters of euthanasia.

Most everyone can agree that depression warps reality. Who thinks helping those with warped realities commit suicide makes any sense whatsoever?
