Why not try to convince people that life is worth living instead of poo-pooing their attempts to escape living hell?
No-one owes you their company on this planet — so please don’t expect them to suffer so you can have your personal moral peace. There are a lot of people out there for whom life at the end of their time is very very grim — people in cancer pain, others who literally rot away whilst alive and so on. What do you gain by insisting they hang on in agony?
It always is a difficult subject, and everyone who wants to die should be helped — and if that help in the end when all other possibilities have been exhausted is assistance to suicide, then so be it. More often than not the help can take many other forms, but it also requires people who are willing to give this help in the first place (and there are not many of those)
Trust people to know themselves and strive to help them make the best decision — but don’t offer moralising, offer real help and alternatives, not just warm words.
