    Unfortunately it’s necessary in a place where people regularly receive life changing or ending news.

      It’s the first hospital where I’ve seen something like this, though.

      I can just guess that there must have been some kind of incident at that place that triggered the installation of the safety nets.

        Sure and the incident was a suicide, no question about it.

        Former girlfriend of mine had a patient jump out of a window after his late stage cancer diagnose.

          Thats why assisted death/suicide should be more legalized and talked about. I mean in such a case, the case is pretty simple. In such a case, they need a second doctor from outside to confirm the diagnosis, get a notary or some kind to confirm that this is the wish of the patient and they got all the necessary information. I guess in a week they should have the clearance.

          This way someone can leave the world on their terms, without pain or traumatizing or hurting bystanders.

              At least something that is legal and that you can be sure that this is the persons will.

              What I found weird is that in Germany until 4 years ago “ads” for an abortion was illegal but abortion itself is legal. Under ads it even counted when a doctor posted on their website, that they do abortions. They than changed that law and revoked any conviction until 1990.

              Overall when I think how recent some laws changed and what was normal back when I was born or when my parents where born.

            Speedrunning an established legal precedent for nonvoluntary eugenics in the process

        Location is in Germany.
        So maximum hospital bill for someone with standard insurance is 10€ per day.
        Wouldn’t jump because of that…

            …if someone decided to jump off my second floor balcony, I would probably send somebody the bill. You’re not allowed to clean it up with a shovel and a pitch fork; you have to hire an expensive biohazard team.
