Imagine thinking your life belongs to you, and then having to get permission to end it without suffering

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 months ago

There are other options other than this one that requires permission. The article mentions her reasons to choose this method.

From the article:

She had thought about taking her own life but the violent death by suicide of a schoolfriend and its impact on the girl’s family deterred her.

Whether we agree with her or not, it's her decision.
