| This happened a long time ago, but a few years ago when I was learning how to ride a bike, I went down a hill really fast not knowing how to stop and my grandma couldn't catch up with me, so I hit a mailbox and fell into a ditch. :? At least you remember falling into the ditch. I only remember ridi... |

| This, but the problem makes me think of a documentary on suicide. The producer was himself Dxed with a terminal condition. In the end, suicide would be preferable than waiting for natural death, but the country that allowed assisted suicide required that the person do the deed themselves. That mean... |

| Yes, without a doubt suicide is inherently irrational. I have been there and can only shudder at the control such a thought process has on the mind. It is pure and utter desperation where the mind simply wants to turn off. Imagine panicking as you fall down a dark well, while clawing on the slippery... |

| "Appealing to authority" is not "a logical fallacy" except in rare cases. No one can know everything- so sometimes you have to quote an expert. AND we're not "appealling to authority" anyway. We are appealling to the scientific method- studies have show X,Y, and Z. You have to counter with with emp... |

| Suicide doesn't drive me toward it. Suicide is simply one of the possible after effects of being denied safe and effective treatment. More so than suicide, perceived lack of access has led to increasing mental instability, driving me down a path to permanent disability. I've known trans people who ... |

| How is it logical to claim that trans people aren't mentally capable of deciding what is right for them and their bodies? Where does that come from? This isn't quite what I said. You will need to review all of my posts for a better context. What I said is that suicidal thoughts are not rational. So... |

| So you're admitting to trolling? you're asking a medical question, but refuse to consider medical answers to the question. So.why are you asking the question? The only possible reason is to troll. So this response can only be taken as admission that you're trolling. Untrue, this is after all a deba... |

The whole subject of this topic is about the morality of a doctor operating on the basis of a suicidal drive , which since it is suicidal is irrational drive.
