    The only reaon I’m still is because I’m the caretaker of my mother, who has dementia. When she goes, I go. I would prefer it to be painless. Medically assisted suicide should be legal.

        I know you’re trying to be supportive, but you don’t know their situation, what they’ve done in their life, and why they’ve chosen this. It comes across like you know better or that they can’t already know what they want and what the ramifications are.

          And you don’t know if the other person is crying for help, wants to talk or really decided to give up. Never bad idea to at least give a chance for a conversation - especially online where people can just ignore you if they feel like it.
