You're the only one arguing that it's not. It's in the name that everyone agrees with. "assisted suicide". Yes, it's suicide, we're all agreeing on that. And ofc having a legal alternative is preferable because as we've established, it's better for everyone if it's done this way.

If you read anything that I've said in response to this comment, you'd see that not everyone is willing to admit it's suicide and that's literally the only point I've taken issue with.

Ok, sure.

"Suicide isn't "awesome," and "good on her for sticking it out" in the context of suicide would pass as ironic edgelord humor 20 years ago on 4chan.

It's terrifying that the exact same action, when done in a way that's "clean" and legal makes people say things like that that presumably nobody would say otherwise. Setting up a legal pathway for suicide doesn't change what it is."

Yeah, the admitting it's suicide is the only thing you have an issue with. Nah, you have an issue with all of it, you just wanna argue your way around it. Anyway, have a nice day.

I have an issue with all of it, sure, but the only thing I've actually challenged, in response to this comment, is someone saying that assisted suicide isn't suicide.
