Firstly, people don't "just die" by talking to a chatbot.

Secondly, if someone wants to die then I am saying it is reasonable for them to die.

The thing about depression and suicidal thoughts is that they lie to you that things will never get better than where they are right now.

So someone wanting to die at any given moment, might not feel that way at any given moment in the future. I know I wouldn’t want any of my family members to make such a permanent choice to temporary problems.

1000% As I said in my comment. I never thought I'd be better. I am. I am happy and I live a worthwhile life.

In the throws of intense depression it's hard to even wake up. The idea that I was acting in my right mind, and was able to make a decision like that is insane to me.

If someone wants to look for their lost cat in a snowstorm should they be able to make that decision even if they could regret it in the future due to health reasons of going out in the cold to save their cat? I believe they should be able to make that decision for themselves. It's not the responsibility of your door manufacter to deny you the ability to go outside because it knows better than you and it is too dangerous.

You are out of your mind if you think people can reliably tell what they want. Sometimes they can, sometimes they can't. Telling the difference is hard, but it's pretty clear that they can't when they suffer from the serious mental condition called depression.

During a lifetime, your perspective and world view will change completely - multiple times. Young people have no idea, because they haven't had the chance to experience it yet.

		I never claimed that people could. People make choices that negatively or positively affect their entire life and that is a part of life.

Including children? If so, do you believe it is reasonable for children to smoke cigarettes if they want to?
