Suicide-a permanent "solution" to a temporary problem.
And
it’s that terror of life’s final act lived out in circumstances of
diminished choice and pleasure that has to be addressed when arguing

dignified exit.”
Putting aside the dignity of a body found on a bench by a busy road, hands gripping an empty pill bottle and what’s left of a fifth of Bombay Sapphire, you have to know at just what point Sewell will have decided his life will no longer be worth living. For him, it’s that point “when drugs prescribed to numb the pain so affect the functions of my brain that all the pleasures of music, art and books are dulled, and I merely exist.”
