Can I quote my brother's suicide note?

If they can put a man on the moon
You'd think
They could give us totally painless suicide,
available on demand, in clinics, for a fee.
Hell of a profitable business!!! of course,
the criminals would cut corners and the
sadists make you suffer until, like everything
else, you'd be as afraid to go to the
Clinic as you are to pull the trigger.

Anyone else remember the "this is your brain on drugs" TV spots? If ChatGPT had been around in those days and told kids the ad was misinformation, how many of you would have sided with the government and wanted to ban anything that countered the prohibitionist propaganda, because everyone else was doing it too?

What if you could not prevent anyone from committing suicide, so they could freely explain to you or anyone else their reasons and you could try to talk them out of it if you wished, but could not call the cops? If my brother could have talked about his reasons for suicide openly, might he have changed his mind? Why instead do you all treat suicide as something that should not be talked about openly? Are you afraid that if you legalized suicide so many would do it that you could no longer maintain the facade that this society is good and healthy?
