. . . NO one is required to watch (anything) on FB.

@FearlessFly nor is FB required to allow things that go against their community standards.

I disagree. People with intractable mental illness should be allowed to die voluntarily too. Mental illness can be just as painful as any other illness and people here shouldn't be denied the opportunity to talk about ending the pain. I for example have found no real help from counseling, have tried many therapists and receive limited help from psychiatry. Now I am also suffering from physical pain that would require that I become addicted to opiods to find relief other than the small relief I get from cannabis which is very expensive and not paid for by medicare or medical assistance.

@Theresa_N I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with, as the article isn't referring to a man with mental illness, he has a terminal medical condition. I should also probably note that I am a huge proponent of death with dignity, I simply don't think it is appropriate to live feed it on facebook. That being said, the biggest problem with allowing it for mental illness is the issue of informed consent and determining the mental capacity to make that decision for oneself.
