Here’s my question - if the government is going to allow you to legally have professional help in killing yourself, is it also going to allow you to legally try every possible substance which might conceivably make your life bearable enough that you no longer want to do that-including psychedelics, heroin, etc? I’m pretty sure the answer in Belgium (and many other jurisdictions with legal euthanasia/assisted suicide) is “no”, which to me seems deeply perverse.
