It was somewhat selfish when you are in the situation Chester was in, and it's psychological. He had a responsibility to fight that demon for his wife, kids, and family.
It was not his fault he had the demon to begin with at all, and it wasn't completely selfish. We aren't responsible for the mental ailments we are born with, but we are responsible to work on them and not cause others to suffer because of them. Chester had all the resources in the world to fight that battle.
I still completely empathize with the amount of pain he must've been in to make that decision, but I don't absolve him of all responsibility from it. I don't hate him or think he was a bad person for it at all, though. I very much hope he rests peacefully and his family can heal.
I think people with late stage cancer and people who suffer from severe physical pain are a different conversation, entirely.
No I think it's kind of different for physical pain, especially incurable.
I have suffered with depression all of my life. If I didn't have responsibilities like a family, pets, etc. I probably wouldn't be here today. I'm not saying I'm better than Chester, nor am I saying that I was at the same level of suffering he was.
I feel a lot of sympathy for him, and don't think he was weak for it or anything. I do think that he abandoned his responsibilities, though. That's all. No hate or disdain here. I feel for everyone involved. You seem like a good and empathetic person, FWIW. I just disagree a tad bit, that's all.
Its not bigotry. I feel like there are many many kinds of treatment for depression and they all should be exhausted first, especially in his situation. I would be okay with euthanasia if everything was tried, and if the person at least would have made a plan with a medical professional and family. Just like they would do in places where euthanasia for chronic pain is legal. I would be open to that idea. I just think there is a difference between suicide and euthanasia, I guess.
Also, don't get me wrong, Chester was very much a victim of his illness, and stigma around mental health is real. Stating the fact that he had a responsibility to his family doesn't contribute to that, though.
I never once said he didn't try at all so way to discredit your point from the get go. What about ketamine treatments? Psychedelics? I highly doubt he tried everything is all I'm saying. He had the responsibility to "cope" for his family.
I completely agree euthanasia should be a thing for extreme mental issues so you aren't really saying anything different than I was there either.
I like 90 percent agree with you and disagree on one little thing. You seem to just want to fight with me for slightly disagreeing on his responsibility as a father and husband.
