Who are the best people to use for medical experiments? Suicidal ones. If they want to die, we might as well get some use out of them.
Do you think that is ethical? Why do you want to kill people?
It's just a joke. They should be flattered I chose them to be my test subjects.
Depression and suicidal ideation is a mental illness and is one that can be treated medically just like any other illness. It isn't right to joke about depressed people who want to kill themselves since it trivializes mental illness and furthers the harmful stereotype that nothing can be done to help out people in that mental state. Instead of joking about suicide, why not be supportive for those who are experiencing mental health issues as it can affect anyone you know and care about?
I don't need another person with superiority complex telling me how I should and what I shouldn't say. I have a right to free speech.
A lot of suicidal people don't want to die. They only see it as a way to escape the pain they are in.
