Same here. I believe that since no one can consent to being born, it makes sense that people are allowed to go out on their own terms, and I think in a socialist society, euthanasia should be enshrined in law. I think it's selfish to force someone to live just because you would be sad if they died.

But I of course don't want that to be a popular option, and I think a combination of therapy, medication, changing material conditions, interventions by loved ones, and every other accommodation should be made to dissuade people from taking their own life, and of course people who have dependents should have a responsibility to take care of them or have someone else take over their role from them before they off themselves.

I'd also argue that in a socialist and full communist society, the suicide rate would be almost zero anyway.
