There should be a place in every hospital for euthenasia. 30-60 days should be given. During that time mediation, possibly depression medication, and other practices should be done. Meditation (eastern definition) being the most important. If the person still wants to die after 30-60 days then society should help them. We should respect the choice.

Are we really having the "she just wants to die, let her die!" discussion involving a 24 year old healthy woman?
I've been dealing with real depression for most of my adult life. I understand what it means to not want to wake up day after day. BUT, I REALLY don't understand how any society anywhere can just say "ok, off yourself, it's your choice! We love you!" This world is going bonkers faster as each day passes.
Depression can be a life long struggle but people CAN get through it, of course this girl doesn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, duh, she's not able to think clearly, hence mental illness. Wow.

What I am saying is, it's OUR job as a society to do everything we can do in our power to prevent the death of this woman and cling to EVERY bit of hope up until the tragic day she DOES decide to kill herself.

so there have to be rules and guidelines according to you before someone is allowed?
i dont get that either.
about the only rule i can think of is a person should have to be of legal age so they and only they can be held accountable for their decision.
why should they have to try meds first? why should there first be a mediation?
i say if an adult wants to check out because it is monday then they should be able to.
the fact is some people dont want to live. why should they be made to jump through hoops before they kick off?
i really dont understand this
