What I'm saying is that—and this is why I posed the question; I think it's important for clarity—if you have somebody who is trapped in mental illness, who is saying that they want to end their life and have been saying that for five years, 10 years, 15 years or 20 years, who has attempted all therapy, everything at their disposal, at what point do you feel that this person has autonomy over that decision? If the answer is “never”, then that's an ideological position, and there's not a lot further to go.
However, if the point is that somebody at a certain point of suffering has an opportunity to have autonomy over their own life, then that's an important debate and one that is not rooted in ideology.
