I’m from Belgium where euthanasia for mental illness has been permitted by law for the past 20 years. I don’t have experience with it in my personal environment but my parents have friends whose son died by euthanasia because he had severe bipolar. My understanding is that at least 3 psychiatrists need to come together and agree there are no more treatment options etc etc. So a fair few steps to go through.

Thank you Kirk and Rebecca for your discussion of the Nashville shooting. I think the two of you combined hit the nail on the head about understanding the humanity of this person and also wondering if you (or someone) could have helped. I think that is a little bit of what I meant about understanding them. They didn't specifically mention being bullied, but having been to a religious school, it isn't hard at all to imagine that they were. Plus even if they weren't, it is still highly likely that they had it drilled into their head all day every day that the very nature of who they are and how they are built is sinful and wrong and gross. Add to that that they lived in TN where there is not likely a thriving lgbtq+ community that they could lean into. They quite literally had probably nowhere they could turn. So I do wonder, if even one little thing were changed (even something like living here in the Northeast, or there in the Northwest, instead of in the south) if it could have been avoided. If I follow the thought process through, I do come to the conclusion that what I actually understand is what might have helped, and all the holes this person likely fell through and red flags that were missed or just ignored or even pushed into. It's anger on behalf of the perpetrator and the system that completely failed them rather than sympathizing with the killer. That's a much better way of conceptualizing this. So thank you both for helping me reframe it! [ Also, yes, I tend to have always been someone who is a naturally a diplomat, who can "see all sides" of issues, an "empath". ]
