People with depression and other mental illnesses who aren't capable of making that decision will use it. It also makes it a lot easier to argue for cutting mental healthcare and other suicide prevention measures.

Honestly as someone who's struggled with depression for 20 years, and had a couple of attempts, the idea that the government may just decide there's no problem with me yeeting myself is terrifying.

For decades, Big Food has been marketing products to people who can’t stop eating, and now, suddenly, they can.

...

By one market-research firm’s estimate, food-and-drink innovation in 2024 reached an all-time nadir, with fewer new products coming to market than ever before.

There's something quite disturbing about how "making something even more addictive" is called as innovation.

I suspect I have SDAM (severely deficient autobiographical memory) syndrome, it could be you do too?

It's less fatal, but it's worth checking carbon dioxide levels too.
