    Self-harm is harm. It’s nonsense to describe a process that kills you as “safe.”

    Safe to her? No. Neither option can boast that.

    Euthanasia is safer to everyone else around her. And tidier.

    Get it?

      And tidier.

      Those two words are why I find this thread so terrifying and so alienating. I’ll never “get” the perspective that tidiness is a significant factor when discussing matters of life and death, and to be perfectly frank, it makes me feel like a lot of this is coming from a mentality towards suicidal people of “Get them out of my sight so I don’t have to deal with them and their negative vibes bring me down” rather than genuine empathy and concern for wellbeing. And that sort of mentality surrounding this, about how neat and tidy and clean it all is, how it avoids disruption to society, is exactly what makes the policy so concerning to me.
