Without legal physician-assisted euthanasia like they have in Canada, people need some method to keep control of their lives. There, a person sees a psychiatrist for two years and if the person still wants to die, they can be euthanized. It's one of the many reasons that I want so badly to emigrate there.
Hello Dr. Aaron,
I was looking for some contact details without much success. Can you please let me know your email address? I have a few business enquiries!
Ran through this so fast

If I had gun I'd use a gun. I assume it would be more effective, but I don't, so I have to settle. My gift to Sean this Christmas will be pills and a razor. It's all I have. Thanks for the advise though.

No access to a gun. I haven't tried suicide because I'm afaird I will survive and be worse off.

OMG I guess we should make guns safer so they can't hurt anyone.
It would be great news if suicide was #1 the leading cause of death. It would mean we beat everything else, and dying only happened when you actually TRY to die.
