Apparently, Australia's very own "Dr Death" as he is sometimes called, Nitschke (a Euthanasia advocate) has said that voluntary euthanasia should be used, or considered, for 'the troubled teen'. That is, why not allow the teen who thinks life sucks to do something about it!!?
Such a law would sure bring a whole new dimension to pastoral care in Youth Ministry!

when one has made up their mind then one will act on their choice.If a person wishes to end their life, then they will do it with or without help and support.
If a teenager has made up their mind to end their life I don't think the correct thing for us to do is help them do it safely. As your comment seems to imply.
Life is precious and helping young people end theirs for any reason is wrong on many levels.
