You're right that there's too much unnecessary suffering imposed by our societal system. Still, consider that everyone's life eventually ends, and for many when that time comes it would be a blessing to choose it on their own terms.
I very literally did consider it.
I hear you expressing a lot of pain and frustration with the way society treats people who are elderly or disabled. And you're right, the first answer shouldn't be "kill yourself". While your comment briefly mentioned the right to die, you called this method as ableist, which I think is probably an extension of that frustration rather than factual. Reading the article it seemed to me this organization is very much interested in people's well being and reducing their suffering in a holistic way.
Yet you still came out eith the heartless WRONG answer. Curious.
