I've argued with "right to die" activists now for many years. They insist on framing the issue as being about seniors dying with dignity ahead of fatal illness. In reality, the practice is becoming a widespread solution to depression, autism & anxiety.

‘I’m 28. And I’m Scheduled to Die in May.’

Some right-to-die activists want everyone to have access to euthanasia—even young people with mental illness. Are they also making suicide contagious?
