what is the consequence of allowing someone to die? regardless of the circumstance. there is absolutely zero reason to force someone to live if they do not want to.

a bird hits a glass window of a skyscraper and falls to the ground. no big deal.

a squirrel is run over by a truck. no big deal.

an individual is sick of living and decides to leave, no big deal.

The consequence is that a unique intelligent, sentient being ceases to exist. That's absolutely terrible. And worse, they might die without receiving proper treatment or it might become available soon after.

Why is this such a bad thing? I see no issue here. Forcing another to exist just because they have some kind of untapped value that hasn't manifest yet is antiquated thinking.

Obviously rehabilitation and therapy should be on the table, to try and bring someone back to normalcy - but if that fails we should not falter.

It's a bad thing because I have personal experience with the court taking over my decision making when I wasn't in a mental state to do it for myself. I'm immensely grateful even though I didn't think so at the time, fought it and thought they have no right to do so. I had no idea things can change so much and wasn't thinking clearly, life is beautiful now.
