I should start by saying: it is good that we have laws preventing genuinely predatory individuals from exploiting the vulnerable, either because they stand to gain financially or simply because they gain sick pleasure from it. Inciting a non-suicidal person to commit suicide should be a criminal offence.

That said, these laws often go to far and serve to isolate suicidal people from their friends, loved ones, and support networks, leaving us feeling isolated and unsupported. I would like to be able to have conversations with people in which I express my suicidality and receive a genuinely empathetic, compassionate response, not just discouragement.

It is frustrating that any encounter with a medical professional includes them framing my desires as pathological, when, as I see it, the pathology is my state of living. I wish to be dead and want help obtaining that state, but legally nobody can provide that.
