The purgatory to which people with “premature” wishes to die are admitted is the holding cell of depression. Antidepressants are almost as common as pain medication in the medical management of dying people. Physicians, counselors, and families are all unhinged when a dying person wants to die before they are able to. The considerable arsenal of medicine, psychology, and family familiarity are stymied and frozen when a dying person asks for help to die “before their time.”
