It's a very complicated topic. I tend to be against it, and don't want to see anyone pursue that path. I do understand it though, and in some instances I've been at peace with it.

One example of where I was at peace with it is my great uncle deciding to take that path when he found out he had stage 4 cancer and there was nothing that could be done. He didn't want to suffer the remaining time he had left and have his brothers and sisters have to take care of him knowing how hard that would be on them. It's a terrible situation but I understand it.

On the reverse of that though, my wife unfortunately deals with thoughts endlessly on it. She has been through hell, and also deals with a mental illness, so to her it's a daily fight. She feels powerless and like her life is non stop pain, and she takes pleasure in thinking on how she could end that suffering and it makes her feel less powerless. I never want to see her go through with it though. It might be selfish of me but I just never want to lose her.
