Western society is plagued by a pandemic of learned helplessness. None of these people contribute to their own survival ergo they see no value in the life they possess. None of them appear to have any problem solving skills and they’re hyper focused on the unfortunate things that have happened to them which they use to explain their lack of progress. We’ve normalized dwelling on terrible memories and allowing singular, albeit tragic, events to define an entire life. Couple that with a growing culture of total nihilism in the medical community and of course we’re going to see barbaric stuff like assisted suicide for depressed teenagers. I’m really not sure what the off ramp is at this point. The problem is WAY bigger than just allowing doctors to kill people.

Omg I can't even click. The headline in the url is enough to make my stomach feel sick.
I also noticed the association with drugs.
Replace the "copious amounts of pot" with a healthy lifestyle, and life might not look so horrible.
Agreed.
