Amazon is making suicide trendy? or, Parents looking for a scapegoat for their way-too-late emotions?

> She placed the order within weeks of experiencing suicidal thoughts.

weeks doesn't seem long, unless you consider the mindset of the suicidal person: every day, hour, minute, filled with overwhelming mental burden.

I still remember the few weeks at my lowest as probably the longest memories, longer than all my school memories stuck together.


Pretty neat to see Amazon making a try for moral righteousness.

Truly ironic that it is for euthanasia and coming from a company that could be satirized as “working people to death”
