> What direction would that be?
Providing people with options on how/when they leave this world and making suicide less taboo. You could say most technically have this option already but I think it's more humane if we provide reliable methods to do so via medical professionals. Leaving it up to individuals can be messy and violent.
On the cultural side, I guess I'd like to see less sanctioning of suicide so that we don't make people's lives more complicated for merely expressing their desire to do so (e.g. getting the police called and being held for days)
All of that to say that death is sad regardless of what time you leave and I'm not advocating for people to do it. Just that we should have the option like any other healthcare service with guardrails of course.
The status quo is that the people who are most able to avail themselves of non-medical means tend to be the ones least in need of it. A healthy, able-bodied person can pretty easily off themselves in all sorts of ways. A person no longer able to care for themselves will find it impossible unless they can somehow secure the cooperation of a helper.
Non able bodied people can commit suicide via dehydration within a couple days (longer if they are healthy), provided they can avoid getting treated for it.
