SN seller Kenneth Law pleads guilty

[Dot]

So the dad who said something like " I didn't have to worry about Tom CTB because he wanted a painless method and there aren't any" I found a bit shocking. Just to think your only focus is well he's trapped here so he won't be able to do it, I found so unempathetic. Just how it came across to me.

The lady who was on a previous documentary Emma talking about buying from Law and then surviving her attempt-I was shocked to hear she had now CTB. She blamed KL for making it so easy for her to attempt but it seems like she found another way to do it (I presume) since then.

@lesserbohemian OK so I've listened to almost all of it-and actually I thought it was excellent, and not nearly as pro-life as I expected. I was impressed and it was a really interesting listen.

A few thoughts-I can't believe the person who ordered SN then told pro-lifers all about it, including the tracking number! Then when they failed to get the package stopped by the postage system, told the pro-lifers that the package had arrived. OK so maybe it's because I've not experienced an acute crisis but it just made me think what was the point in ordering SN and then telling everyone about it? You know they're going to get it taken off you. Anyway I'm glad they got the help they need and if it was more a cry for attention then I'm very glad they told someone.

Ashtyn's mother sounded like she'd really tried to understand the mindset of a depressed person and accepted it was her son's decision. Bless her. I found her a lot more understanding that the other parents.

What did you think, have you had a chance to listen to it all?

I have only listened to the two episodes out on Apple podcasts but I've heard they're all on youtube- I was told they do actually interview people who had positive experiences on the site in the last episode so I'm happy about that!

I get what you mean about Tom's dad- he's just so British to me but if I really wanted to save my kid and wasn't surprised at his death, I'd like to think I would've done more to try to connect with and understand him.

It is a really well made podcast in general, I only listened by chance as S1 was so good (but very very dark, all of the content warnings you can imagine), so this one was a shock when they started to allude to this website and it was somewhere I had actually frequented!
