A lot of the suicides are people with severe physical problems due to age or other conditions where living with pain and suffering becomes unbearable.
Euthanasia for humans needs to be legal and available in hospitals in the USA. I never understood why the family pet was allowed to die with dignity when it no longer had a quality of life, while it's owner had to spend up to the last two years wearing diapers and bedridden.
I have seen too many people, my own relatives and relatives of friends spend the last 2-5 years bedridden, mostly women 80+. All of them said they always hoped they would not wake up whenever they went to sleep. Once they realize they are never going to get out of that bed they don't want to be here anymore.
